I was happy with my dog’s stay with Eli until I unpacked his stuff and saw that he hadn’t been given his allergy medicine or probiotics the whole time we were gone. Eli and I reviewed this at the meet and greet and the information is in my dog’s profile, plus instructions were written on the bags containing the medicine. Disappointing. Now I have to do major paw treatments and try to get his hair to grow back.

If you're considering booking Eli for sitting services, PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW. I have to rate him with at least 1 star, but If I could give him 0 stars I would. Eli presented well. Has a great bio, lots of good reviews, meet and greet went well. When I dropped my dog off I was upset (first time being away from him and he's only 4 mo old). Eli sent me a video within 20 minutes assuring me Henry was already doing well. This was awesome and set my mind at ease. Communication while I was away left a little to be desired. I had to initiate communication most of the time. And I would receive very brief responses. Not a huge deal, just frustrating. On the day I was to pick Henry up, Eli asked if I could come early at 5 pm...even though I had already made it clear that my flight landed at 5:15. I was told Eli's brother would be there to give me Henry and he would be ready to go. I was also told that Henry somehow made it into a koi pond and had been given a bath. I picked Henry up and within 1 minute (we weren't even out of the neighborhood) Henry peed in the backseat. I pulled over on the side of the road and let him out. He immediately pooped. It takes A LOT for a dog to pee in a car. Henry has been fully potty trained for several weeks. This means Henry hadn't been let out FOR HOURS. When I asked Eli about it, he said he had a significant problem with Henry peeing and pooping in the house. He refused to the bathroom go outside. This was never brought to my attention. I reminded Eli that in his bio he states that he walks dogs around the neighborhood. Had he done this there wouldn't have been any problems. Henry is fully leash trained and Eli confirmed this during meet and greet. Eli responded that he did walk Henry around the neighborhood. But not one of Henry's poop bags was used (brand new roll). Eli claims he used his own poop bags. Yeah, not buying it. The night I brought Henry home, he had an upset tummy. It was obvious, by his poop, he had been into something. You could see it all in his poop. As the night progressed this turned into severe diarrhea (not just loose poop, but pure liquid). this lasted until Sunday afternoon and I picked him up Friday evening. Henry was also scratching really bad. It got to the point where he started to whimper and I worried he would break the skin. I had to bathe him at 3 am. He was either not rinsed well or cheap products were used after the koi pond incident...probably both. Goldendoodle's are notorious for having very sensitive skin. I worried that the koi pond would've had a lot of bacteria. Eli sent me a pic with Henry covered head to toe in mud and wrote in the text "LOL"...he thought the whole situation was funny, even though it was very obvious I was upset. I didn't get this pic until after I had picked Henry up. When I met Eli he assured me Henry would be fully supervised...he obviously wasn't. He's 4 mo old and Eli's backyard is large and full of junk. The amount of mud on Henry was indicative of him having spent some time in the pond. All dogs should stay away from standing water as it contains a large amount of bacteria that can be fatal, but especially puppies. Communication with Eli has been frustrating. He has changed his story multiple times and back peddles when confronted. If you don't mind your dog being left alone and just shoved outside to roam in a backyard, then Eli is your guy...but you could find someone to do this much cheaper for you. If you actually want your dog taken care of, supervised, and walked, find someone else. Seriously, there are so many people on this app who would actually love your dog. go with one of them.
