Dog Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

I love to work and be around animals. The energy and joy they bring to life is unmatched. For 4 and a half years I worked in a dog and cat boarding facility, where I learned how to properly care and meet every need your cat or dog may have. I spend alot of time outdoors and have a large yard so I can make sure your fur baby gets more than enough sunshine and time to run around. I work from home so have a lot of flexibility. And I am available for morning walks and drop ins! I have a daughter, around 2 years old, who will be with me most of the time so if your pets are not kid friendly please do not book me! My daughter is exceptionally respectful of animals and their space. I am open to hiking and trail running with your pup. Photography is also a passion of mine, so I’ll make sure to leave you with all kinds of glamour shots of your sweet fur babies. If your interested in pet portraits please feel free to inquire about my pricing packages! 🐾

Very easy to communicate with. Sent pictures. Also was kind to adjust pick up as we were running late.

Information Elija W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires any special care, i.e. medications, PT, dietary restrictions, physical limitations, etc. As well as a list of allergies and behavioral issues if applicable.

A typical day

I will take more active dogs of hiking trails around the area, by the river etc. I will take them to the dog park, play frisbee/catch, etc. For dogs with physical disabilities, or older pups I will provide activities catered to their abilities. Shorter/easier walks, more downtime and always lots and lots of love.
