I treat your pets like royalty!
Pet care experience
I've been around dogs all my life; my parents had a dog before I was born, and they got a Rhodesian Ridgeback when I was 5, so I grew up "speaking dog". I even showed dogs as a junior handler in high school and worked with a professional. I learned a lot about making friends fast with unfamiliar dogs and making them happy, as well as daily care for multiple dogs and how to handle emergencies. My husband and I adopted a stray kitten last year, so I'm familiar with kitty needs as well. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around.
Reviews
Elayne has been dog sitting for us for a few years now. She is great with our dogs (two greyhounds) and they love her. She is very good about letting them out often and playing with them in the yard. Our dogs also get several different kinds of vitamins & supplements and she is great about giving them the correct dosages. She also brings in the mail & waters the garden if needed! When our oldest dog was having arthritis issues, Elayne would give her a little doggie massage that helped her move better. Elayne is the best dog sitter we've ever had!

Skills
Information Elayne O. would like to know about your pet
I actually don't have a breed preference! I take my clients based on behavior, and will leave you (the owner/s) a report card after every stay to let you know how it went.
A typical day
We go for walks, play outside, play with a favorite toy, or just hang out and get in some good one on one attention.
