Dog RESCUER & LOVER; home full time

Pet care experience

For DROP INS or DOG WALKING must live with in 0.5 miles of me as I will WALK to your residence for the appointment. BOARDING AND DAYCARE pu/do 7:30am-9:30pm, must be spay/neutered, no puppies. I DO NOT offer pick up/drop off services. If your dog MARKS/has ACCIDENTS pet pet parent must supply diapers/belly bands as I HAVE CARPET! (3 potty breaks daily) On RARE OCCASION I may work temporarily in the office (1.5 miles away) for 4 hrs at a time. I will treat your dog as part of my family. They are welcome on my furniture and bed. I will not put your dog in a crate unless you request me too. I am home almost full time (work from home) so I will be here to keep your dog company, play with them and show them lots of love. I am very flexible with my schedule so I should be able to accommodate your schedule (p/u + d/o 7:30am-9:30pm) My residence is fully fenced with a wheelchair ramp and I have a lot of all types of toys blankets and an XL crate with a water bowl attachment (crate used only on request) for your dog to use. I have a 4k HD phone and am good at taking photos so you will have a lot of great memories (see my photos I have sent to past families) I have a Bachelor's Degree in communication. I love dogs very much! I volunteer with the Animal Dept Project and Pawsitive Tails to Remember animal rescue. I have rescued(pulled, transported, vetted, given medical care and fostered) innumerous dogs from Carson Animal care, LB animal care and OC Animal Care. I have also adopted 2 dogs (in the past) from So Cal Bulldog Rescue and have fostered for them. I have done temporary fostering for many different rescues facilitated through Dog Meets Family on Instagram. I know how to give subcutaneous fluids and give shots (insulin etc). I am also very well versed in signs of illness in dogs and would be able to react quickly if an issue ever came up. I will advise you if I see notice anything concerning your dogs health. I have cared for almost every type of temperament (from shy to aggressive) so I will be able to take care of your dog properly (please let me know if you have special needs so we can discuss it)

She’s the best! I had to book her last minute due to an emergency at work and she was very accommodating. Dillon is happy when I came to pick him up. Highly recommend her!

Elaine is the best. Trust her totally with my old chihuahua Taco. Dog loves her and gets to hang out with other small dogs when in her care. Elaine sends plenty of pictures so I know what Taco is up to when im out of town. 11/10, best dogsitter ever.

Very happy with Elaine. Kyoshi loved her and she was so sweet and gentle with her. Kyoshi had a blast during her walks. I can’t wait to book Elaine again. Thank you Elaine for all you do.
