Experienced Veterinary Technician

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Elijah and I have over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. For 5 of them, I've been a vet tech and the other 5 have been various dogsitting jobs. I currently work at a vet clinic in northbrook. I also have experience with exotics (pocket pets, reptiles, and birds). I personally have a dog, cat, leopard gecko and a ball python! I'm comfortable with any sort of animal, large or small!

Elijah is an amazing sitter who cares so highly for animals! He’s extremely responsive and sends so many pictures. He just loves animals and it shows in the way he treats them. It’s like they are his family too!!

Elijah quickly became loved by our dog. Knowing that she had someone staying with her who she enjoyed and also enjoyed her made it easy to focus on our trip without needing to worry about the pup back home. We would definitely use Elijah again!
