Summer is here and classes don't start until fall so my schedule is completely open and flexible. That means I can also help out on Sundays!

About Elim S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My first step is making sure your pet is comfortable with me. Most dogs are heavily food motivated and just want to do a good job, so some easy commands and some kibble can build rapport quickly. Others prefer pets or a specific toy - anything to build a positive association with my presence. I'll let cats choose how they would like to interact - calmly and politely as to not spook them. A comfortable animal then allows me to safely make sure they are fed and watered. I happily get to socialize and play with your willing pets while respecting the boundaries of those pets who can be shy or anxious. If you know your pet will never be comfortable with me, lets discuss that pets specific behaviors and build a plan to make sure their needs are being met safely.

Can I meet your cats?
Cat care experience
I grew up in a family that always had dogs and cats (and fish and ferrets and more!). I inherited my brothers cat who was older than I was! No one knew she was blind, I had to teach her how to play, and cared for her until her natural passing at age 26. Now I'm the go-to for family, friends, and in-laws for pet-sitting. Dogs are the most common but I've loved helping friends out with caring for their cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even birds - I really do appreciate all critters! I believe it's important for sitters and carers to be able to read the animals they're caring for and respond appropriately - it's easy for most folks to communicate with and understand dogs or super friendly cats, but I'm also ready to let the animals set their own boundaries and slow-blink at them from a comfortable space. My goal is to reduce the possible stresses your pet may encounter while you're away!
