Hello! We, my husband and I, used to own a house in Everett, WA. About a year ago we sold our home and purchased a house with my son and his family in Mount Vernon, WA. We currently occupy the double garage and are going to be slowly renovating it as our own living space that is attached to the rest of the house when we have saved up for it. We have a couch, bed and dog beds too and a really efficient heater so it's warm and comfortable here. We just want to build our bedroom separate and have our kitchen area finished and walls built to separate each room, but we are very happy with our area and with the super nice and quiet neighborhood that is so different from the noisy Everett city we lived in just off Broadway. We do have a fully fenced backyard and we take the dogs out for walks daily. I'm retired and am available every day for dog walking and drop ins! If you live under 1 miles from me I can do hour walks. Over 1 mile up to 2 miles, I can do half hour walks. Drop ins are half hour each. I can also change litter boxes and put food and water down for dogs and cats and let them out into a fenced back yard for potty breaks or take them out on leashes to go potty.

Pet care experience

*UPDATED PROFILE* My name is Elaine, mom of 4 and grandma of 7. I love dogs and cats and actually most any type of pets. I've been working through Rover for quite a few years now. We, my husband and I, used to own a house in Everett, WA. About a year ago we sold our home and purchased a house with my son and his family in Mount Vernon, WA. We currently occupy the double garage and are going to be slowly renovating it as our own living space that is attached to the rest of the house when we have saved up for it. We have a couch, bed and dog beds too and a really efficient heater so it's warm and comfortable here. We just want to build our bedroom separate and have our kitchen area finished. We do have a fully fenced backyard and we take the dogs out for walks daily. I'm retired and am available every day for dog walking and drop ins! If you live under 1 miles from me I can do hour walks. Over 1 mile up to 2 miles, I can do half hour walks. Drop ins are half hour each. I can also change litter boxes and put food and water down for dogs and cats and let them out into a fenced back yard for potty breaks or take them out on leashes to go potty. I can watch dogs up to 30lbs. They must be potty-trained and non-aggressive for safety. I also offer dog walking as well as drop in visits. For walking and drop ins, I do not mind large dogs as long as they are non-aggressive. I will not accept walking or dropping in on dogs that might growl or sound threatening to me. Let me know if you would like to schedule a meet and greet, either your place or public place! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a message or call my Rover number!

So happy Elaine could take Charlie on short notice. Loved the photos of him out for walks. Best of all, she told me he was a good boy. Thanks, Elaine!

Elaine was absolutely wonderful with Meeka! From the warm and welcoming meet-and-greet to the drop-off, she put us completely at ease. Meeka can get stressed and requires night-time medication, but Elaine strictly followed her walking and routine care instructions perfectly. We loved receiving regular updates and photos of Meeka enjoying her walks, which gave us total peace of mind. We highly recommend Elaine and will definitely be booking with her again!
