Highlights
Pet care experience
All about fun! Playful spirit.
I hang out at the local park on weekends just to play with dogs... Willing to run around outside with the most active of pups or lounge out with the pups who prefer to take it easy. While I never owned a dog, I have always dreamed of it. I have experience dog-sitting for family and friends. I am willing to accommodate any special needs or requests you may have. In addition to providing your dog with a great experience, I take responsibility very seriously. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I am very detail oriented and willing to accept any special requests.

Ratings and reviews
Elan is a perfect dog sitter: wholesome, loving, and thoughtful. He keeps in touch frequently, often with positive and encouraging narrations about your pet and their time while you are away. He adapts to their/your schedule, and the whole process from drop off to pick up was seamless. Would absolutely use Elan again and would recommend him to anybody looking for a great place to leave their dog.

Elan and Katie were amazing! This is the 3rd time they have watched Finn and they took great care of him. He is always so excited to see them!

Juno was so well taken care of and the photos sent each day made us feel much more at ease about leaving him with a new Rover. We had a weather delay on the way home and Elan was super accommodating and understanding. Book him!

Elan and Katie are the best! Honestly so happy we found them. Super easy to communicate with and coordinate drop off/pick-up! Finn can be a little anxious in new places, so I was definitely a bit worried heading into the weekend. But any nerves I had went away pretty quickly once the pictures and videos started rolling in. Finn looked so happy and relaxed! We'll 100% be back. Finn already misses them!

Luna had such a great stay with Elan! He was super communicative throughout the weekend sending many pics and updates. Luna had a fun time going on plenty of walks and relaxing. She came home in a really great mood. We’d definitely like to see Elan again 😊

If there is a perfect pet sitter, is Elan. He takes the time to understand your dog’s needs and tailors his care to them. Our dog is really high energy and Elan noticed that right away. He knew that lots of walks would help get the energy out which is exactly what he did. This truly is the best sitter experience we’ve had. Kept constant communication, sent lots of pictures, videos and plenty of updates. Our high energy pup came back super calm and seemed like he had a great time. We had so much peace of mind knowing our baby was in good hands. I would recommend Elan to anybody! He truly is the absolute best.

Schedule
I like going out on long early morning and evening walks with my family and friends dogs. I also enjoy taking more abbreviated lunch walks
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I pay close attention to what’s going on around me, and anything that might trigger alarm/fear in my family and friends dogs. If something seems off with the dog behaviorally, I will try to understand what’s causing it and judge how serious the situation might be.
A typical day
Walks and runs at Piedmont Park. Find nice shady spot to hang out during summer heat. Hanging out in the dog park with other puppy friends. Or casually strolling through Virginia Highland.
