Pet care experience

Hi there! Need a doggie-free weekend or vacation? I get it - you want a dependable, caring, and honest sitter to care for your pup. So do I, especially when I go out of town. I have been around dogs since a kid and wilI treat your fur baby like my very own. I am currently at home full-time and will have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. Your pup will enjoy at least 3x/day walks and breaks in the neighborhood and can spend time in most of the rooms, patio, or backyard. Let's chat for more detailed info exchange or schedule a meet and greet.

Elaine was great taking care of our dog during our trip. We were able to enjoy our time knowing our pet was taken care of. Elaine provided updates and photos of our dog during her day. Elaine was Also flexible when we ran into delays on our return. I would definitely recommend Elaine to watch your pet 🐕

I left Skippy and Art with Elaine for a whole week and honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met her, it was apparent she’s a total dog person. My boys took to her instantly. She insisted on a meet-and-greet beforehand so they’d feel at home, which already put her head and shoulders above most sitters. While I was away, she sent the sweetest updates and photos almost every day. Like, Skippy and Art stealing her spot on the bed. I was halfway across the country and never once worried. Hands down the best boarding experience we’ve ever had. If you need someone who’ll love your dogs like her own, Elaine’s your person. I’m already hoping she’s free next time I travel!
