Right now, I'm working from home part time. So am pretty flexible watching your pet. My preference is to have your pet here in my home.

I have a large fenced in back yard, dogs seem to love roaming in it! I prefer to crate at night and have always crated my dog when leaving home. I find dogs seem more secure when crated.

Information Elaine R. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if they have special needs, any behavior issues that I need to take into account. Any medications they need to take? Do they have problems with separation anxiety? Are they crate trained? What food do they eat, how often do you feed them.

A typical day

Taking dogs outside is totally on my agenda for watching dogs. Or playing ball with them. Some dogs just want to sleep! My dog that I lost in 2020, I had spent time teaching him to do tricks...fun for us both. Cats tend to be more independent, you can brush them (for a little) and play with cat toys with them...they just like to hang out on their terms. I've had cats in the past and have watched my daughters cats on occasion.

AWESOME HOME & CARE

Pet care experience

I've had pets for ages, cats & dogs. Right now I don't have any, home is lacking! I have a special heart for smaller dogs!

Elaine was wonderful with our dog, Layla. I knew her kind demeanor would be a good fit. Elaine was prompt with responses. She took great care of Layla and sent daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with Elaine again.

Elaine was a great sitter for our two dogs. She sent pics and updates everyday. Will definitely have Elaine watch our dogs again as we felt they were in good hands with someone who truly cared about them.

Elaine was gracious to take our Sully on a last minute booking. She was faithful to send us pics and it seems like Sully had a wonderful time. We will definitely be booking with her again!
