Pet care experience
My parents got our family dog 8 years ago. I trained him and helped take care of him as a puppy. Whenever I go home, I still walk, bathe, feed, and give him lots of snuggles. He inspired me to get my own mini poodle, Watson. I’ve had Watson since he was 3 months old and have trained him and cared for him since. He’s a great boy who loves making friends with other dogs, and absolutely adores people. And food - can’t forget food. I’ve taken care of the four-legged-family members of neighbors, friends, and family. They’ve all ranged in size (up to 45 pounds) and age, from puppies to elderly dogs. I know how to give dogs oral medication, bathe dogs, and give them all the affection they deserve.
Reviews
Elaine was a fantastic sitter for my senior dog, Kira (15yo). Every step of the way--from the initial booking for boarding, to the day when I came to pick up my old girl after getting back into town, Elaine was a delight to work with and made the whole process very straightforward and easy. I could tell she genuinely cared about Kira's wellness, and I was so appreciative of how communicative she was during Kira's stay. Kira also got along really well with Elaine's adorable little dog, Winston. I will absolutely be booking with Elaine again! :)
Elaine was great to work with. She took great care of Scully for an extended weekend stay. Communicated regularly with lots of pictures. Will definitely send our pup back!
I highly recommend Elaine. She is a wonderful dog sitter and that’s not just my opinion, my 2 dogs Cayenne and Stella go crazy with wags and kisses for her when I drop them off. Elaine is very polite, responsible, easy to communicate with and flexible. She sends me photos and updates me with texts. She is very attentive to my little Cayenne, a senior dog who requires extra TLC, daily medication, and more frequent potty trips outside. Having Elaine as a sitter gives me great peace of mind, I know my girls are comfortable and well taken care of while I’m away.

Happy to crate your dog if needed/wanted, but I’m otherwise fine with your dog being on my furniture or bed. My dog loves cuddles, which I’m happy to share with yours as well.

I work from home, so am flexible. I typically take Watson out around 4 times each day, but can take dogs out more frequently. There are a few dog friendly parks and greens near me. My building also has a small, enclosed dog park that is open 24/7.
