House-Call Groomer and Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Lainey, a professional dog and cat groomer and have been caring for pets for over 20 years now. I think your pets should get a vacation too! I play with them and do fun activities and games, I bring treats and toys with me always! I can even take them to the dog park! If you have any questions or special requests I’d love to hear from you and I’d love to meet your pet!

Elena is fantastic! She pays so much attention to our border collie Lucy during her visits. Lucy’s ears actually perk up when I mention to her that Elena is coming to visit her that day 😂😂😂

Elena was great and even got our shy cat to come out for some pets! Would recommend her to any friend in need of a drop in visit for their cats.

I have yet to find someone has diligent and principled as Elena. She will care for your dog as if they were her own. I was very impressed with her level of care and communication, and plan to book her many more times in the future. ? I’ve been using Rover for a while now and haven’t felt this comfortable with any of the sitters until she cared for my Misu ??‍❄️. 12/10 would recommend. ☺️

I will ask lots of questions about your pet and your home in order to keep your pet on their own schedule and make sure everything goes smoothly. I never invite quests. I’m almost thirty and by that I mean I’m not uneducated in life, for example, I’m not going to break your toaster or unplug your tv. Please provide as many instructions about your pet and your home as you can so that I can watch them with confidence. Please no indoor cameras, thank you. I treat each pet and their home with respect, as I would my own!

Information Elena C. would like to know about your pet

I carry low calorie freeze dried beef training treats with me but if your dog has a special diet please let me know. Also, it’s important for me to know if they have any medical issues like respiratory problems, or if walking too much or too fast could be dangerous for them. Please let me know if your dog is an escape artist or a counter surfer (steals food). I never give human food to pets unless specified otherwise. Please be aware I am not a professional dog trainer. If your dog is especially aggressive or fearful, I recommend seeing a trainer. If you want to go above and beyond you can list your pets command words and let me know if they need to work on anything, like no jumping and pulling on the leash, etc. and I can try to help! Thank you so much for looking through my profile, I’d be happy to answer any questions you have if I didn't answer them!

A typical day

When walking or sitting pets I make sure to stay close to their home so as to not venture in an area you are uncomfortable with or in case of emergency. I bring dog toys and treats with me so your pet is entertained and stimulated! I have some games I like to play that are great for keeping your pet entertained. I LOVE taking dogs to the dog park! My go to is Rosedale dog park, its beautiful and all the dogs there are very friendly. I carry a dog horn with me but have not needed to use it. (I will ask your permission before taking your dog anywhere.) You can also request a park visit outside of sittings, please message me for more info!

A typical day for me is waking up and taking care of the pet I’m watching, spending the morning taking them on a walk or playing. In the afternoon I groom a dog/cat for a couple of hours, then I come back to check on the pet, lots of pets and treats. At the end of the day I take them with me (if allowed) to the dog park and pick up a golden retriever friend to play with! Then back home and the pet usually stares at me as I eat dinner and then we go to bed! I do that pretty much every day and I love it. I also accept house-call grooming requests for pets I’m watching, you can come back home to a fluffy and clean pet!
