I’ll treat your dog like my own
Pet care experience
I’m a film editor and professor. In the pandemic, but also in normal times, I spend a lot of time working from home. This gives me an ample amount of quality time to spend with a dog. I love dogs and grew up around them. I also foster them as well as pet sit. I live less than a block from the beach and love having the impetus to get out there in any weather with a dog. I’m also very comfortable administering medication and adapting my care style to your and your dog’s needs. I am also a good communicator and would make sure to send updates and pictures as well as be on time and reliable. Having a dog in my home is a pleasure, something that feels like a privilege rather than a service.
Reviews
Elana was great! I needed a last-minute sitter and she was more than accommodating. As soon as I dropped Dolores off she seemed right at home. I got updates and pictures throughout the weekend of how she was doing and she looked to be having a great time. I would definitely use this sitter again!
Elana was a great sitter for my active Corgi Roosevelt. She was upbeat and positive and provided update. Roosevelt came home healthy and happy. Would definitely use again.
Elana is a dedicated, responsible animal lover and care giver. As the owner of a large, energetic, pit bull I always feel comfortable leaving my dog with Elana knowing that Elana will take her on long walks and spend time with her at the dog parks my dog loves. Elana has experience caring for many dogs of whom are a variety of sizes and personalities. Growing up as a dog owner herself, Elana is immediately comfortable around animals and adapts quickly to meeting new dogs. Furthermore, I am confident that her responsible nature and experience caring for animals make her more than qualified to react in an emergent situation should my dog ever need medical attention. She understands more than anything that caring for my dog is about showering her with love, attention, and affection. She creates the type of loving, playful environment focused entirely on my dog - an environment my dog just can’t experience at any doggy daycare place. Whenever I leave my dog in Elana’s hands, I can always fully relax during my travels.
Elana has been caring for purebred dogs and show horses for 15 years. She has previous experience with large and small breeds, including special dietary and walking needs. She also has some experience training. I leave my dog in Elana's care for multiple weeks; he is always excited to spend time with her, as she makes sure to develop a close, personal bond with each dog she cares for. I trust her far more than traditional doggy day care programs, and my dog comes home far happier after stays with her than in larger, more corporate facilities.
