Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, Cats, Grooming, & Last minute
With over 8 years of pet care experience, I provide structured, personalized boarding and grooming in my home for cats and dogs with transparent pricing. I have a fully fenced yard, cameras in every pet-care space, and a child-free, male-free home. I look forward to being meeting your furry friend! This is a calm, working, low-energy home, not a high-intensity daycare environment. Dogs receive appropriate exercise, supervised outdoor time, enrichment, and one-on-one attention when I’m home. 🐶 DOGS | I welcome dogs of all sizes, including XXL breeds such as Great Pyrenees, Saint Bernards, Danes, and Shepherds. I may also accommodate puppies, seniors, unaltered dogs, reactive/sensitive dogs, mobility limitations, pregnant/whelping dogs, and dogs with medical or specialized care needs when they are a safe fit for my environment. Dogs must be able to settle indoors. I may decline dogs with unmanaged anxiety, excessive jumping, persistent barking, destructive behavior, or a need for constant high-intensity activity. Dogs are crated/kenneled while I’m at work, during human and pet mealtimes, and overnight. Dogs are never left to roam or play unattended. You may bring your own appropriately sized crate or rent one of mine: 36"–54" kennel — $30/stay Single-night kennel rental — $10 GROOMING | Boarding pets must arrive reasonably clean and maintained or have an appropriate grooming/bath service added to the reservation. Services include: Baths, Full grooming, Deshedding, Maintenance grooming, Nail trims, & Cat shavedowns with or without a bath. ADDITIONAL BOARDING RATES | All increased boarding rates are per night: - Puppies under 2 years — $70+ - Anxious dogs — $70+ - Undertrained/escape artists — $65+ - Dog-reactive dogs — $65+ - Pregnant/whelping dogs — $125+ - Exclusive Care/no additional client pets — $125+ --Exclusive Care includes kennel at no additional charge. My resident dog remains in the home. Under-vaccinated puppies & pregnant/whelping dogs are automatically required to have Exclusive Care. No exceptions. OTHER FEES - Same-day/last-minute booking — $30 or applicable daily rate, per pet - Bath/kennel accident cleanup — $30 - Boarding walks — $10 🚨 LAST-MINUTE BOOKINGS I accept last-minute and same-day bookings when availability allows. A video meet & greet is required, and the $30 or applicable daily-rate last-minute fee, per pet, applies. 📸 UPDATES You’ll receive at least one photo/video update each day. For stays of 5+ days, updates are sent at least every other day. My goal is simple: safe pets, happy parents, and a calm home. 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Elandra was super communicative, helpful, friendly, and so so kind! My cat had a nice, spacious, comfy room to herself during her stay, had plenty of playtime, and she did so well! I also received updates and photos during her stay that I appreciated during my vacation that made me feel more at ease. Elandra is super knowledgeable about pets and cares for them so lovingly. No need to worry if you book with Elandra, you’ll be in great hands!!!! I will definitely use her services in the future 😊
Great experience! Elandra was attentive, communicative, and made sure I knew Mia was safe and well cared for the entire time. Thanks so much!
Elandra really helped me out when I needed a trusted sitter. I was extremely nervous about boarding my 3 cats for the first time, but once they got there, there was really no reason to worry at all. I received constant updates, videos, and photos, and even some photos of Elandra earning their trust over time! My girls had their own room with plenty of space and places to retreat if they needed. It was quiet and clean. I really appreciated the high level of communication provided by Elandra, not to mention how absolutely sweet of a person she is!
Elandra took great care of our cat. This was the first time we left him with anyone and we were concerned how he would do. We received consistent updates and pics and our concerns were put to rest and we enjoyed our vacation knowing that Sunny was well cared for. We definitely will book again
She is so thorough and kind with my cat & I. Elandra is prompt, flexible, understanding and has great availability. She really understands cats and their moods and I’m so thankful for that because she’s very patient. 10/10 every time!
Excellent experience! Elandra was very professional, and I knew my cat was in good hands the entire time I was away!
