Pet care experience

Animal Lover

I grew up around animals since my dad worked in veterinary and would bring bunnies, cats, and other animals to my home. Right away, I gained a love for all animals. We had a family dog for 13 year since I was 7 years old. I cared for him when he reached his older age by administering medication for heart. This would include hiding it inside his food or snacks to assure he would receive the medication necessary. Shortly after his passing, we adopted a dog who was malnourished and had a broken leg. I cared for his wound shortly after surgery by cleaning his wound, wrapping it in a clean dressing, and administering medication. You can count on me to care for your senior dog or any fur baby needing medication. I also dog-sitted a close friend’s pets for 3 years 2015-2018. They trusted in me to care for their chihuahuas just as I know you can trust me with your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience in crating dogs for their safety after allowing them to run around outside for a bit and providing them with food and water. Clients have trusted me inside their homes to provide care to their pets.

I don’t normally leave reviews unless I feel very propelled by something that matters to me. I’ve got to say Elba is the most amazing dog sitter I have ever worked with, and I feel very lucky to have found her here. My dog is a little sensitive senior, and he absolutely loves Elba. I would have given her 10 out of 10 ⭐️ if I could. I could list so many important, great qualities about her, from her soft skills and “customer service” to her passion and love for my baby, which become clear in my dog’s behavior after spending time with Elba. She is intuitive, smart, ethical, kind, knowledgeable in her work, and has communicated with my dog in ways that really fascinated me multiple times. She is the definition going above and beyond! I can think of examples for every words I used to describe her. If you get lucky enough to book her services, you can be sure your baby will be in good, caring hands 😇

Elba graciously took in a kitten my family had found dumped in the streets. Without hesitation, she picked up the kitten, got all the supplies and provided a loving home. To this day, she still sends me photos of that kitten who is now an adult. Spoiled is an understatement. Elba loves, cares, and protects this rescue along with the rest of her pets. She is responsible, kind, and most importantly patient.

Elba is a full blown animal lover! She’s been my go-to sitter and dog walker for my dog Nova for a while now and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s reliable, compassionate, and very attentive to Novas allergy needs. I highly recommend Elba to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated pet caregiver.

Schedule

I currently work in another job. As much as I love the fast pace of it, I would love to have a routine surrounded by fur babies due to my love for animals. This would fit perfectly into my schedule on my days off. My schedule can be adjusted if notified a few days in advance in order to care for your fur babies.
