Highlights
Pet care experience
Wiggle waggle and roll!
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.

Ratings and reviews
Used patience with my skittish rescue
Elba was fantastic. She loved Sydney and updated me regularly as to how she was doing. Would definitely have Elba pet sit again.
Thank you so much Elba!! Absolutely loved her!
Elba was amazing. We have 2 cats who both need medication, and one is a little spitfire. She was reliable and managed to give the cats their meds twice a day as we asked! Her pictures were wonderful too.
Elba is wonderful! She just watched my senior dog Fern for the first time while I was on a 5 day trip and I was able to fully relax and not worry as I received daily photos and updates from her. Fern felt so comfortable with her also and got lots of love, attention and walks not to mention receiving all her daily meds on time. I will definitely be using Elba’s services again!
Elba was wonderful with our pups! Very prompt and a great communicator

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I do my best to follow owner instructions. If you are the type of owner that has a written schedule or instructions, great that is very helpful. If not I do ask lots of questions about the routine you and your pet have. I will also ask lots of questions regarding behavior in the home and out on walks.
