Professional, loving, and clean

Pet care experience

Hello! I've been pet sitting for friends and family for approximately 17 years with lots of compliments and success. I have experience with puppies, small dogs, large dogs, kittens, house cats, semi-ferral cats, cockatiels, budgies (parakeets), fish, and large exotic animals. I have been volunteering, interning, and working at zoos and aquariums taking care of animals, for several years now. Caring for and training animals is definitely my passion. I am quick to learn where everything in your home that I will need is and all your pet's preferences (favorite toys, snacks, activities, etc). I have a great deal of experience, tons of patience, and plenty of love for all types of animals. I will love and care for your pet as if it were my own. I am also able to do walks or pet visits that don't involve an overnight. Just let me know! I am very friendly, energetic, and outgoing so don''t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! Why I love dog sitting As long as I can remember I've loved animals. We had fish, mice, and a cat before we had a dog. In high school we adopted Sally (featured in one of my pictures). She was a rescue and is part Staffordshire terrier so she kept us on our toes with her high energy and playfulness. With lots of attention and love she turned out to be a very intelligent and loving addition to our family.

Elaine was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She came super prepared to the meet and greet and left us feeling confident that our fur babes would be in great hands. She sent us updates and photos every day we were gone and took the pups on daily walks as well. Both our pups and cat just loved her :) We came home to a clean house and 3 happy pets. 10/10 would recommend Elaine. We will definitely have her sit for us again!

Elaine did an excellent job taking care of my dog while I was out of town. She is very professional and trustworthy. She also responds very quickly and communicates very well...

Elaine was wonderful with taking care of my cats while on vacation.... I would highly recommend her if looking for a kind, able person who truly cares about animals. You can’t go wrong with her. Thank you so much!

Information Elaine T. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I love all animals! I would like to know any medical needs and the regular routine for the dog. Just a little information from you so I can make your dog as happy as possible. I have a questionnaire that we'll fill out together on our first meet and greet.

It depends on what you need of course. I can take them on a walk, drop in for an hour, or stay over night. I'll walk them in their neighborhood, varying the path we take to keep them interested. I'm happy to take dogs to a dog park as well! I will keep your animal enriched with daily play time. I often include some training time as well! Extra house-sitting services Yes of course, just let me know!
