Dogs get extra attention and walks

Pet care experience

They get lots of attention and get spoiled. I've always had dogs. I do not currently have a dog. I used to sit my son's dog daily at his home. I also have dog sat for several friends' and neighbors' dogs. I have gone to people's homes and dogs have stayed overnight. If dogs are anxious, I give them special attention. I have had two German Shepherds and an Australian Kettle mutt. I once cared for a dog who had cancer. He was boarded in my home for at least 10 days. He wore diapers and required a lot of extra care. I am very patient and caring and my schedule is flexible to accommodate a pet. I'm also usually available when an owner is in a bind and needs immediate dog care.

Our dog Millie stayed with Elana for 3 days while we were away. This was the first time Millie was away from home. I must say it was a wonderful experience for both Millie and us. Thank you Elana.

She was very quick to respond before booking. Elana kept us updated through our dog's stay. I felt extremely comfortable leaving our dog. Most definitely will book with Elana again. Recommend 10/10 to anyone.

Elana was the perfect choice for my blind 13 year old beagle!!! I’m so grateful I was able to find her... It was the first time I’d ever left my dog. Thank you Elana

Elana took care of our dog Pearl, and did a wonderful job. We were gone for 4 nights, and she provided us with updates each day which included adorable pictures! Elana did not hesitate to reach out if she was unsure of anything which decreased our stress about leaving. We would highly recommend Elana and will surely be in touch again the next time we travel! Thank you for taking such great care of Pearl. We sincerely appreciated your kindness and warmth.

Safety, trust & environment

I always use a lease when walking the dog or letting the dog outside. If I need to go out, my husband is available to watch the dog for 1-2 hours while I'm gone. If we both need to be gone, the dog needs to be comfortable staying alone in a different environment for up to 3-4 hours. Your pet gets lots of attention in my care and I do everything I can to maker him/her feel comfortable.

Home

Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present

Information Elana V. would like to know about your pet

The dog should be potty trained and not aggressive and less than 20 lbs. I like the owner to provide contact information and the vet number. Also, any information about their pet would be helpful. A crate is not necessary but helpful. Pets are no longer allowed on the bed but are permitted on the furniture.

A typical day

We have a park behind our home. Also, there are many places in this area to walk a dog. I would often play with the dog with his toys and toys I already have.
