My name is Elba, I have been with Rover for a few years now. And have enjoyed the privilege of caring for all kinds of furry family members. Gentle giants such as Irish wolfhounds, puppies that are still teething, to older low energy let's just hold me kind. Whatever category your furry family member fits into, I do my best to find different ways to keep them entertained and challenge them mentally. One of my favorite activities to do is finding pet-friendly locations so that your pup is well socialized. I am lucky to live near the Oak Leaf Trail and Seven Bridge's Milwaukee public park areas. My dogs receive two to four walks per day and I always enjoy more friends along with us! As a pet owner myself, I know personal attention is important. I will not compromise quality time with anyone that stays with me! We typically only take up to 2 large (up to 50lbs), medium, or small dogs per stay to ensure everyone gets their personal attention. We prefer to have dogs that have recently had a bath, and ensure that they have been given flea/tick prevention. I do ask for pups to be on preventives year round. I do this due to having clients that travel with their pets to warm areas of the country. If life has gotten busy and you just have not had the mental head space to deal with a wet dog, we would be happy to help. I offer bathing services as well. I look forward to meeting everybody! I am currently working part-time. Leaving me with plenty of time to spend with your pup. There will be time for walks, fetch, exploring trails, or simply cuddle and nap. I have a fenced yard and pups have access to all of the house. I also have baby gates to provide safety for my older pups, pups with disabilities such as blindness, and young pups that are still learning boundaries.
