Elaine, once again, was excellent with our two dogs. We feel so at ease whenever we have to travel and we leave them with her. Gracie and Lynus love being there. Elaine has a welcoming house and a great backyard with plenty of room for our pups to run and play. She's also great at keeping us up to date on how the dogs are doing daily with updates and pictures. Very highly recommend Elaine. She is our 'go to' dog sitter.

Elaine and family provided our girl Whiskey with a great stay. I'm not sure Whiskey was ready to leave when we picked her up. 100% recommend Elaine!

Elaine is fantastic! She has take such great care of our senior golden retriever. He loves coming to her house and immediately makes himself at home when we get there. The dogs play so well together and her family just spoils him with all their love. We are so lucky to have Elaine!

At this point, I am worried our puppy loves Elaine more than us. Upon arrival, he ran inside her house without looking back. We couldn't even say goodbye because he was very excited to be there. We are happy that he loves being there, spending time with Elaine and her family.

This is our second time leaving our two attention loving dogs with Elaine and again we could not be happier! Elaine sent us immediate updates to let us know our boy and girl acclimated with no problems. She then continued with updates and photos to help us knowing that we missed our pups. It allowed us to really enjoy our short trip knowing that our Lynus and Gracie were getting the attention and care that they deserve. Thank you, Elaine!

This is our 4th time using Elaine and we have already booked 2 more for this summer. Elaine is really nice and takes really good care of my German Shepherd Maverick. She keeps me informed with texts and pics. I highly recommended using Elaine, you won't be disappointed.

Schedule

I have plenty of time to walk, play with, and care for your pets while you’re away. I am home all day which allows me to give your pet my undivided attention. My hours of operation are as follows: Monday-Friday: Drop off & pick up 7-11am and 3-7pm. Saturday: 8-11am and 3-6pm Sunday: 10-1pm and 4-6pm * If you need alternate drop off/pick up times, a $20 convenience fee will be applied. I operate out of my home and keeping my hours of operation allows for my family time and privacy to be respected. Please do not show up unannounced or during closed hours. I require a text prior to drop off letting me know your approximate arrival time. This allows me to put other borders up, ensuring you and your pet are able to enter my home without barking and chaos.

Safety, trust & environment

I love my dogs as members of my family and will treat your pet with the same care. I request a meet and greet to ensure your dog is comfortable as well as my own. Meet and greets are scheduled and do not last more than 20 minutes. This is a time to meet me, see my space and meet my dog as well. I typically have other boarders at this time that I do not introduce to your dog. The other boarders are put up during this time which is why the meetings are capped at 20 minutes.

Pets

A typical day

I love being outdoors so if your dog is active and needs to walk/run, play I am down for the exercise. I am conscious of what breeds require more or less interaction and exercise along with your preference.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Elaine can host up to 4 pets per night
Please let me know of any special requirements your pet may have so I can accommodate. I look forward to helping make sure your pet(s) have a relaxing stay while you are working or on vacation. If your pet requires medication, it is imperative that it is ready to be administered when provided to me. If pills need to be crushed or cut in half you will need to provide them ready to be administered. Please do not bring food and water bowls, beds, or kennels unless your dog prefers their own specific items. Be sure to pack adequate food and any treats. You’ll need to notify me of any food allergies that your dog may have. Please send your dog groomed and clean. Dogs are allowed to rest on the furniture and beds, but not if they are dirty or if they have unkempt nails.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
