Pet care experience

Eastport Doggie B&B!

My husband and I have owned multiple dogs, mostly two at a time, since we've been married, 38 years now. Two of which were rescue dogs and one of those two I actually rehabbed to be comfortable around other people and dogs. My daughter, Shannon, is also a Rover Sitter ("Shannon's Doggie Flop Pad"), and occasionally she has needed me to dog sit for her because of high demand. I really enjoyed the dogs I watched and my pups had a great time playing with them, so I decided to become a Rover Sitter myself! Shannon and I have been referring each other ever since. During your dogs stay, they will be loved and cared for as if they were my own. Our big, completely fenced-in, backyard lets the dogs run, play and explore as much as they'd like. I can also take your dogs for walks if that is part of their daily routine. No need to bring toys, we have toys galore. Unless, they have a favorite they can't be without.

Elaine was great and easy to work with! Our puppies were happy and well cared for. This was a long time for us to be away and we really appreciated the updates and pictures.

Elaine has always been fantastic with our little Greycii. She also has big back yard for the dogs. We have used her many times in the past

I’m not comfortable leaving my fur baby many places, but when she stays with Elaine I don’t have to worry about her.

I always have the very best experience with Elaine. She treats our dog as her own, and our dog loves “going on vacation” to her home! I am always at ease leaving our beloved dog in Elaine’s care. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

We bring Ziggy back to Elaine every time we leave town if she is available. Our little guy generally doesn’t like being anywhere but home, but he was clearly happy arriving at Elaine’s. He’s also been stressed and needs a couple days to get his energy back after staying elsewhere, but he’s been himself right away after visits here. Best care experience we’ve had. Highly recommend.

Schedule

Taking care of your pets is my first priority! I am home most days all day, if not me, my husband works from home full time and is my partner in caring for the dogs. I do work very part time outside the home, a few days a month, I’m never gone for more than 3 hours at a time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in back yard for your pet’s safety. I will care for your pet or pets as if they were my own in my home, giving them lots of love and attention. I do have one small dog of my own who gets along well with all dogs and will be excited to meet yours and to keep your fury friend company.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts out with a romp in my fenced in back yard and taking care of business, followed by breakfast then either nap or play time, whichever they prefer, I typically offer to let them outside about every 2 hours or more if needed. They typically have free run of my house. I do prefer to crate them only when both my husband and I leave the house, for their protection from each other while we are gone. Dinner is given between 5p and 7p. I prefer to have the pups sleep in bed with me at night, but I can accommodate whatever owner’s preference is at bedtime.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Elaine can host up to 5 pets per night
Let me know if your dog takes any medication or has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. My preference is for any breed less than 42 pounds and over 1 year of age. I love elderly dogs, but please don’t bring if they are frequently incontinent.
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.
