Pet care experience

🦮🐕‍🦺 EXPERIENCED TRAINER 🐈🐈‍⬛

I was taught to meet the emotional needs of pets in my care, nurturing who they are. My dad trained dogs on our property; I learned to move in a way they understand. Because I work from home, I am able to be very attentive. Our yard is fully fenced; five responsible adults live here with us. A quick pandemic story: We had a Chihuahua-Papillon mix named Jacques Cousteau. One night home alone, I saw how much strain he had when eating his crunchy food. He was only a few pounds, and always a bit picky. Today, his food looked more like a Gobstopper. We drove straight to PetSmart, bought the highest quality, softest dog food they had. I remember the first time he tried his new food. He looked at his bowl, looked at me, looked back at his bowl... then, jumped off the chair where he eats, ran and jumped onto my lap, excitedly licking my whole face! Jacques gained a few more pounds in the next month or so, which made him much healthier than before we switched food! I loved seeing him happy, back to his old self again. My goal is to treat you and your pets like members of my family. Because it isn’t always easy to trust a stranger, it is more important than ever to be responsible for the lives we touch. We all deserve our deepest levels of care.

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.

I love playing, teaching new tricks (and treats if you are cool with it). Our animals are smart and sweet; it is a real joy to spend time with yours.
