Pet care experience
WFH pet mom: Tell your dog I say hi
My childhood dream job was to become a zookeeper. I did everything I could to get close: volunteered at animal rescues, pet sat whenever possible, interned at a vet clinic. Plot twist: despite everything, I did not end up workin g at the zoo. Instead, I became the weirdo who'd rather hangout with the pets at house parties and I've never met a furry friend I didn't like, even the "challenging" one. I've got my own little family of fur babies: been a cat mom for the last 9 years. And last year, adopted a senior dog who is a dream wrapped in floof. I don't have formal training credentials, but I am obsessed with how to tend to our furry friends with attunement and compassion. I work from home which means your pet has company most of the day and I do my best to help them feel at home wherever they are.

Ratings and reviews
Elaine has watched my two Maine Coons several times and she's been amazing every single time. She's incredibly reliable, thoughtful, and has such a genuine love for animals. I never have to worry when they're with her because I know they're getting lots of attention, love, and great care. The updates are always appreciated and it's obvious she treats every pet like family. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!
If I could give Elaine more than five stars, I absolutely would. I have a very sweet but sensitive, anxious dog who takes a little extra patience, understanding, and care. Leaving her with someone new is never easy, but Elaine immediately put both of us at ease. She took the time to go at her pace, paid close attention to her body language, and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was clear she genuinely understands animals and know how to build trust, especially with dogs who need a little extra support. My dog warmed up to her so quickly, and I could tell she felt well cared for throughout her stay. She were incredibly communicative, keeping me updated and giving me complete confidence that she was in great hands. What stood out most was her calm, intuitive approach. She has a natural ability to read animals, respond to their individual needs, and create an environment where they can relax and feel secure. That kind of understanding is hard to find. My dog is truly my baby, and I would trust Elaine with her again without hesitation. I’m so grateful for the care she gave her and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my WFH routine. I'm available/ flexible throughout the day, with good weekend availability as well. I have some fixed commitments that shift week to week, but I keep my calendar current and won't book what I can't fully show up for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is a quiet, nature-forward neighborhood in Evergreen, nestled in the kind of place where a walk around the block feels like a small adventure. No fenced yard, but since I work from home, we make up for it with frequent neighborhood walks throughout the day. For boarding, I tailor the setup to your pet. Some dogs get full run of the space. Others do better with a slower introduction and defined zones. I follow your lead and theirs. My own crew: one very social senior dog who has a particular gift for putting nervous dogs at ease, and two cats who are more selective. If your pet and my cats need space from each other, we have the rooms to make that work comfortably. I'll always ask about your pet's needs, quirks, and preferences before they arrive. The goal is for them to feel at home.
