Information Elena M. would like to know about your pet

Guest dogs must be: - potty trained - social with other dogs - non- aggressive - rabies vaccination Let me know if your dog is afraid of vaccuum cleaners, thunderstorms, knocking or other noises. Do they bolt out the door when it is opened, or jump a fence? Please advice of any or possible allergies, any tendencies of chewing or obsessive of certain objects or toys.

A typical day

I do have a fenced in yard so they will be able to enjoy a safe free run with my dog and toddler. I live in a safe neighborhood in crystal lake and I’m walking distance from many parks.

Animal lover willing to love yours

Pet care experience

I've often thought about how best to care for my pets when I go out of town. I would want them to be with someone who is loving and makes them feel as if they were with their owner. I would treat your pet the same way I treat mine, with love, care, and attention they need and deserve. We have a fenced yard, neighborhood sidewalks, and nearby walking. I'm super active and into health and fitness. I do crossfit during the week. "A dog is this only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself"

Elena was amazing. I went on vacation for a week and Elena sent me updates and I could tell that my dog was in excellent care. I would definitely use Elena again and am grateful that she treated my dog as 1 of her own.
