Working from home with your pet!

Pet care experience

While I don't currently have a dog or cat of my own, I have never lived in a household without at least one pet. Living near all my immediate family these past few years, I, as the pet-less student, have consistently been the designated (and eager) dog-sitter when my family needs to leave for several days. Growing up, I was normally the biggest pet-owner of my household, caring for up to 10 small pets at once as a child (rats, snakes, birds). I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, and would love the company of your pet while doing so.

Elan was beyond the best choice we could have made for dog sitting. Our doggo has VERY high anxiety since we work from home he is hardly alone. When we are away it’s a constant stress of how he’s doing. This was our first time ever using a dog sitter and I really couldn’t have asked for any better, it can be really scary to leave your pet with someone they don’t know but he handled our fur baby with care and compassion. Thank you so much.

I’m am thankful for finding Elan. He helped us all enjoy our time away from the home and the girls. One of our girls doesn’t warm up to strangers easily, but he kept at it until she settled down.

Elan was amazing, he made our dogs comfortable enough that they just walked away with him without even looking back for us. He seems to be very good with pets and we highly recommend Elan to any one looking for a dog walker/sitter in his area. We would use his services again if we are ever back in South Dakota, thanks for your help with our pooches!

Safety, trust & environment

As I currently live in a pet-less apartment building, I am unfortunately unable to host pets in my own home. But I am happy to drive to your home to feed, let outside, and play with your pet. Whatever you may need, it will be done with care and love for your pet. I could be available to stay overnight for a few days at a time.

Information Elan S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has a tendency to chew on shoes or other things left out, this would be useful to know. I also would like to know how much supervision they might need when I let them outside for a break (i.e. Will they destroy the backyard in 10 minutes if I leave them alone?)

A typical day

As I am relatively new to Rapid City, I would love the excuse to explore your neighborhood and city with your furry friend on walks! As long as I can have access to my computer for work, I love to cuddle with cats and dogs while being productive.
