Dog Lover & Trusted Caregiver

Hi there! I’m Elijah and I’ve had and cared for many animals (especially dogs) for all of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently have four dogs of my own. I’m known for being a calm, patient, and friendly person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I bring a gentle and caring approach to every pet I look after, making sure they feel comfortable. My strong passion for animals drives me to provide the best care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

It’s cliche to say, but I prioritize safety and security first. To ensure house/pet safety, I make sure doors, cages, gates, and windows are secured at all times and pets are kept well supervised. I naturally carry a calm/friendly/loving demeanor which usually helps pets feel more comfortable. Overall, I try my best to care for every pet as if they were my own! :)

Elijah was AMAZING!! All 3 of my dogs developed various illness after I booked and he still agreed to co.e and stay for the week. He kept me informed of what was going on and made sure they had their meds as we had discussed. I felt completely confident in his care and will definitely use him again.

Elijah was great with our dogs! He was very communicative and we could tell he was super loving to our dogs. He followed all instructions and left our house clean. We definitely recommend him for any dog services!

Amazing first experience with the app Elijah took such great care of my baby and kept me updated with pictures and messages the entire time, — I would absolutely book again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets!

Elijah did an outstanding job caretaking for my KING terrier. King normally doesn’t warm up to anyone but he loved Elijah right away. All appointments were performed on time and Elijah communicated during the process with photos of King. Thank you so much.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can give them the best care possible. I also like to know what their favorite activities, snacks, and comfort items are, so I can help them feel at home with me.
