Information Elaine D. would like to know about your pet
The Meet and Greet is required at least two days before the stay begins, except for out-of-town guests. I would prefer even earlier if possible. This allows time to arrange for another sitter in the event my setup does not look like it will work out for your doggie(s). I do require proof of current vaccinations before I book a new dog. Please bring a certificate or receipt from the vet or shot clinic to the Meet & Greet. Also, I would like to be informed of any specific health conditions or behaviors requiring special care. I am able to accommodate many situations, and I provide my best care if you let me know ahead of time what your pet needs. My business is insured. My house & yard pest control and ice melt use nontoxic substances safe for pets. I generally accept small dogs (up to 25 lbs) who will let me walk and pick them up if necessary, and are compatible with my dogs during the first meeting, the house tour, and the off-leash backyard visit. At this time, I am not able to accept Shiba Inus, Bulldogs or Pugs, or any of their mixes.

Pet care experience
SPECIAL UPCOMING DOGGIE DAYS: EVERY DAY - “Give the Dog A Bone” Day 🎶 🦴 Take a short break - I offer 4-hour play dates, and occasional 12-hour play days for doggies who just need to send their peoples on a day trip. I do not offer regular day care however. 🐶💕 BIRTHDAYS?? 🎪💕🥧 🥳 Is your doggie having a birthday this month? 🎉 Potato Frosted Beef Meatloaf mini muffins will be served to them & other guests. 🤩 🐶 ASK ABOUT A NEW CLIENT BOARDING DISCOUNT!! 💲🐶🐶💲 🎶🎻🎶🎹🎶📻🎶💿🎶📺🎶🎺🎶 Soft classical music and a watchful eye make this dog-friendly environment low-key. This is a great place for older or low energy dogs, or dogs who might need extra special care while you're gone. There are also fun & games & walks for younger dogs, who are not at all limited to the slower pace of the older dogs!
Reviews
Wonderful sitter! I know Binx is in good hands. Thank you, Miss Elaine!
Elaine is awesome. My dogs loved her and her home. Her communication was super. Elaine sent pictures and let me know how my babies were doing every day. I would absolutely recommend her to my family and friends.
Elaine D. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Elaine is an amazing dog lover! She took care of my dog who was injured while I was out of town - she does a thorough and loving job with all the lucky dogs that she cares for. She sent pictures and kept me current on his condition. I am so grateful for her!
