Dogs and Cats Make My Day

I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and I’m convinced they are smarter than some people. I’ve owned and cared for my dogs and my friends dogs since I was a teenager. All kinds of dogs, all sizes. I love mutts and pure breds. I’ve rescued many dogs over the years and I bred and showed Lhasa Apso’s for 10 years so I know all about hair and pampering! I was a sitter for Rover for 3 years when I lived in Los Angeles and all my clients always trusted me with their furry friends. I love the energy of unconditional love that animals bring to a house. Animals should be spoiled. And I do that with pleasure. Dogs and cats always make me smile.

I’ve tried posting a review for Elaine twice, but Rover keeps crashing. But I liked her so much that I continue to attempt this because she’s awesome and it’s wonderful to find somebody that you trust with your pets, especially when your pets are older.

Elaine was tremendously helpful when a family event required us to leave our pups for the day. She was able to stay with them and provided us great comfort knowing we didn't have to worry. We had previously done a meet and greet with Elaine and she was super nice and attentive. Highly recommended! Thanks Elaine!

Elaine was great taking care of our 2 dogs overnight. One was a newly rescued dog and we weren’t sure how she would get on at a new place. Turns out she was calm and relaxed at Elaine’s home and had a good time!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a gated community with 2 enclosed dog parks for lots of playtime and safety for dogs. I trained mynshowvdogs years ago and am comfortable with their idiosyncrasies.

A typical day

As I’m retired I can basically do as I wish. I’m an artist and create from home so I have plenty of time to care for dogs and cats.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Elaine can host up to 2 pets per night
I just need specific information about your dog’s likes and dislikes. Favorite toys and treats. Best time to walk. My home is very quiet so there’s no scary noises.
