Your dog’s next-favorite human
Pet care experience
I grew up with two silky terriers and have done a lot of overnight dog-watching for friends and family. I've walked leash-reactive dogs before as well, so I'm keen on making sure dogs with special needs are met! The "years of experience" I have listed are for professionally looking after other people's pets since I've otherwise been with dogs most of my life.
Reviews
Eli watched our dog, Fitz, for a month while we arranged for Fitz to move to us. Eli did a great job with taking care of him and communicating with us. Fitz is leash reactive so Eli has experience with walking and taking care of reactive dogs. Fitz loved staying with Eli.
Eli has watched my dog on numerous occasions and has always been so great with him. My dog got plenty of attention and love when he was with him.
My dog's name is Ned and Eli is one of his favorite friends. Ned is a setter that is high in energy and really excitable dog who often is unpredictable on walks. Eli has skillfully mastered making walks fun and exciting for Ned while ensuring there is no risk to Ned and others safety (Ned jumping up on people). Eli demonstrates a lot of patience with Ned and I've never seen or hear him get frustrated with Ned (despite Ned being quite the handful). I would whole heartily recommend Eli to look after your best friend / trust companion, they will be in great hands and both of them will have a lot of fun together. You pet will come back exhausted and happy!

Safety, trust & environment
My house is dog-proof with a back yard. After walks we usually just play a bit and I do low key activities like TV to keep an easy eye on the dog.

Information Elias B. would like to know about your pet
I err on the side of always keeping the dog on a leash for walks, even if they're off-leash trained. I'd like to know if they're friendly with other dogs or humans so I can know what routes to take and what to avoid! Otherwise, any special needs are good to know as well.
A typical day
I like going for walks around the Tenney Park area. It's a great walk to socialize your dog with others or even keep your dog separated in case they're not friendly. I like to take multiple breaks during the walk for smelling and their mental stimulation.

I work from home, so while I’m busy most of the day, I can take periodic breaks to take your dog out for walks or pee breaks.
