Availability

I am currently a law student, but my schedule is very flexible, as classes require me to be on campus for only two to three hours a day. Additionally, I have a car that allows me to easily commute to wherever your pet lives. The rest of my time, I am available to take care of your pet!

Information Elaine H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog follows a certain daily schedule, takes medication, can only eat certain treats, or what their favorite activities are.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes a walk, feeding, and plenty of attention and playtime! I make sure dogs get exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love throughout the day, with outdoor time like walks or dog parks when appropriate. I’m attentive to routines and always prioritize a calm, comfortable environment.

Pet care experience

I have consistently pet-sat and house-sat for the last five years in the Bellingham and Seattle area. I have experience caring for small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. As a law student, my schedule is pretty flexible!

Elaine was great! I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger for the first time, but she was willing to do a meet and greet, and I could see that he was comfortable with her from the very start. She was patient with him, as he was anxious the first day, and took it at his pace. She sent updates and pictures every day, and he was obviously at ease with her. I would definitely use Elaine again!

Elaine ended up house sitting for us and left the house sparkling, and our pup Akira had a great time!

Elaine took great care of my dog! She was easy to get in touch with, proactive with updates, made sure he was well walked and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend working with her!
