Personal Loving Care for your Pet

Pet care experience

Your pet will be a part of my family while they are staying in my home. I am able to not only to provide a place for your pet to stay, but care and love too. This is a home away from home. I am happy to text or email pictures and updates while your pet is staying with me. I have worked with animals for over 30 years and have had a wide variety of pets. My property has a fully enclosed yard. I have beds in every room and outside, too. I am a dog walker and pet sitter. I have lots experience and am happy to provide references. About this sitter: I have been around animals all my life. I got my first dog, a beagle mix named Lassie when I was 8. That was the beginning of my love affair.At the moment I have a Boston Terrier, Olive and a Chihuahua, Owen and Otis the cat. For years I was the owner and manager of Elaine's Pet Depot in West Los Angeles. My area of expertise was solving problems, mainly nutritional or behavioral. I have a house with an enclosed yard and I am at home most of the time. I am able to not only to provide a place for your pet to stay, but care and love too. This is a home away from home. I'm happy text or email pictures and updates while your pet is staying with me. Why I love dog sitting I got my first dog when I was 8. Its a day I still remember. Her name was Lassie. As an adult I have had 9 dogs. The first group(yes, group)was a Lab mix named Garp, a Rottie mix, Butch and a Chow-Shepard mix, Ringo.Then came Buddy, a Lab-Doberman mix. Then Francine. She was a Rottweiler mixed with Great Dane, Then the boys, Bubba and Clancey. And then Kipper a 12 year old pom mix. Now I share my home with Owen, a very sweet chihuahua and Olive a young Boston Terrier. All of my dogs have had long and wonderful lives. I either worked at or owned a pet store most of the time I had these dogs, so they were like kids in a candy store. There are beds and toys all over the house and yard. There are even little steps so the small guys can get up on the couch if they want to. I absolutely love what I do!!!💞 Meet my pets I have a cat, Otis 2 dogs, Olive and Owen And fish About my yard I have a small back yard that is completely fenced. It is flat and great for dogs to play in. It's animal friendly. My experience administering medication This would depend on the dog and the medication. I had a dog with diabetes, so I know how to administer an insulin shot and most times pills are pretty easy.

Elaine was great. She kept us informed about how our dog was doing during the stay. She took very good care of our dog.

Elaine knows her “stuff”. I was nervous because Zeus is a bit attached to me, thinks he is a big dog and has never stayed in an unfamiliar setting. Because Elaine knows……she let Zeus be Zeus. That’s just what he needed!!! Plain and simple. Thank you Elaine!!

I have a small totally enclosed yard that they have access to. I am able to hang out and play with them or just sit and watch TV. It all depends on your dog's every level. And there's always Olive who loves to play so she's great at keeping them active and happy too.

Information Elaine B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a little about the temperament of any dog that I will host. Are the food or toy aggressive. How they are with other dogs, have they ever seen a cat and what do they think about cats? Do they have any physical or medical issues that I should know about. Do they need medication, have any special nutritional needs. What do they like to do, do they want to go for a walk, play with a ball, chew on a toy or a bone or sit on the couch and watch TV. And anything else you think is important. Also please make sure your pets are current with their vaccines. I prefer not to take unfixed dogs. If your dog hasn't been fixed please let me know so I can determine if I can take them.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I take my dog to a park that is close to my house. It is about a half a mile long, flat and grassy. There are other dogs that I run into almost every day . They are all friendly. I will never take your dog off the leash at the park or anywhere outside of the yard. If it's OK with you I sometimes go to the dog park. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Where ever they are comfortable. If they are shy, I have an extra room that has beds and a gate. If they are use to sleeping on the bed, that's fine too. I have beds in every room, also. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home most of the day and evening, so I can spend quite a lot of time with them.

I walk dogs on some days so I'm out of the house for an hour or 2 usually in the afternoon. I'm home most evenings and weekends so I can give a lot of attention to everyone who is here.
