Have any special needs, care details, or medications? I will update my calendar, and will have my phone on me if you need anything specific.

Pet care experience

Six foot wood fence, six responsible adults. I work from home full time, and nurture the animals in my care. Emotional attunement is important for a well behaved dog. My dad trained dogs on our property where I learned to behave in a way they understand. During the pandemic, I noticed my mom’s dog eating, drove Jacques ( papillon / chihuahua ) to Pet Smart, and brought home a big bag of the softest, healthiest dog food I could find. I remember the first time tasted it. He looked at his bowl, looked at me, looked back at his bowl... ran from eating, jumped onto my lap, and excitedly licked my whole face! Able finally to chew his food, the 6-lb Jacque became 9-lbs within weeks! Teaching your old dog a new trick. Treating your dog like our own. Caring deeply, Eli

Eli was great with our Rosie girl. He kept in touch and was easy to correspond with. Can’t say how much we were at ease knowing Rosie was well cared for and happy. Most highly recommended! We will use him again!

Not only does Eli have a wonderful energy and easy personality, but his ability to read a dog is incredible. From just one photo he could tell my dogs' exact personalities and from the moment he met them, could gauge exactly what they needed. He communicates fantastically with animals and I think any dog left in his hands would be well taken care of.
