Availability

I'm currently in school, but because I'm not taking a full schedule of classes, I can be around your pets multiple times over the school week every day. I have my own car, so I'm able to get where I need to easily. I don't do sports, so I'm free almost every day of the week, save for the occasional band event.

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is a friendly older dog who is far from aggressive. She lives to sleep and sit in the sun, and is unbothered by even the most hyper of puppies. I do not have a fenced yard, but I love to walk pets, and will walk them in the morning, at night, or whenever they need it. I also have two cats who have mastered the art of avoiding new dogs when they are over. I can be high energy or low energy depending on what a dog needs, and love to stick to a schedule. The longer and more detailed the instructions, the better!

Information Eleanor L. would like to know about your pet

Please provide a detailed description of pet care- if possible, leaving a physical note in your home helps me. If a dog has health issues that would prevent it from being as active, let me know so I don't play with them too much. Please provide allergies and foods to avoid, as well as preference on how to administer pills- cheese, meat, pill pocket etc.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs. I'll run around with them, play fetch, do anything that makes them happy. My favorite dogs are ones who are high energy that I can tire out and then cuddle with. If your pet has a long coat, provide me with a brush! I love to brush dogs, especially when they like it too. Going on walks is my preferred method of exercise, so I mesh really well with dogs that love them too.

Pet care experience

I've been pet-sitting around my neighborhood since I was 10, and grown up alongside dogs, cats, small rodents, and reptiles. I'm far from squeamish, and I love all creatures, even if they are grumpy, irritable, or messy. I volunteer at the ARL in Ankeny!

Eleanor took great care of Otto during my first week back at work after getting him. She was very flexible and handled the accidents that come with potty training.

Eleanor took great care of my cats and followed instructions closely! She also sent photos at every visit and was easy to communicate with.

Eleanor was timely with feeding. Our cat loved her and she is normally skittish with strangers. There was snow and health difficulties that were well handled. She did an excellent job. I would highly recommend her.
