Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets like they’re my own! In my home, I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment with lots of supervision since I work from home full-time. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

Information Elijah A. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, temperament, and any special needs—like medications, allergies, or anxiety triggers. I’d also like to know how they do with other dogs, if they’re crate-trained, and if they have any quirks I should be aware of. We can schedule a meet and greet ahead of time if you prefer— the more I know, the better I can make them feel safe and at home!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and mentally stimulated! Depending on your dog’s energy level and preferences, we’ll enjoy walks around the neighborhood, playtime with toys, and visits to the large fenced-in dog park nearby for off-leash fun. At home, we’ll have cuddle sessions, enrichment games, and plenty of opportunities to relax on the balcony for some fresh air and people-watching. I always tailor activities to each dog’s personality-whether they’re playful, laid back, or somewhere in between.

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong dog lover who works from home full-time, so your pup will have constant attention, love, and companionship throughout the day while staying in the comfort of their own home. I know how important routines are, and I’m committed to keeping your dog’s daily schedule consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I have years of hands-on experience caring for family pets, as well as dogs belonging to friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, preferences, and quirks so they feel safe and understood. While my own dog won’t be joining me on house sitting stays, I bring the same level of patience, warmth, and reliability she inspires in me. My goal is to make your pup feel secure, supported, and relaxed in their familiar environment. As a house sitter, I am respectful, tidy, and conscientious. I treat your home with the same care and attention I give your pet- keeping things clean, following your instructions closely, and making sure you come back to a house exactly as you left it. Whether your dog enjoys cuddle time, frequent walks, play breaks, or simply a calm presence nearby, I’m there to provide personalized, attentive care. I also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. I look forward to caring for your home and your furry family member!

Elijah took fantastic care of my dog. Communication before, during, and for pick up was excellent. I especially appreciated the photos! I highly recommend Elijah as a pet sitter.

Elijah is fantastic! He was free for a last minute booking and helped us out. He sent multiple pictures and updates, would spend a good amount of time walking our dog, and was very good overall. We would recommend him to anyone and gladly ask for his help again.

Elijah took great care of our little buddy and our home while we were away. He showed up on time and had great communication throughout. We appreciated the periodic photo updates! Our mail and trash was taken care of and the house was left clean and tidy. We look forward to having Elijah back for our next trip and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his help to anyone.

Elijah was a wonderful sitter for Brody! His dog Maple is extremely sweet and got along great with our gentle giant. He sent us lots of pictures and it was obvious Brody was treated like one of his own. We will definitely book with him again for future trips.
