As a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, I speak fluent dog body language and know exactly how to match their unique energy levels while keeping them completely safe and structured.

I keep our pacing perfectly matched to your dog's size and energy level, ensuring they get the perfect mix of exercise and sniffing time.On-the-Dot Drop-Ins: Need a mid-day bathroom break, a fresh bowl of water, a quick feed, and an emergency belly rub while you're at work? Consider it done. I bring a reliable, joyful presence right to your living room.Instructions Followed to a T: Whether your pup has a highly specific feeding routine, strict house rules, or a special trick they like to show off before getting a treat, your manual is my absolute blueprint.Because I am meticulous about following detailed directions, you can enjoy your day knowing your dog’s routine will be honored perfectly.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities when entering your home. Because I am a dedicated pet owner myself, I treat your space and your fur babies with the ultimate respect, care, and vigilance. I have a strict, structured safety protocol for every single drop-in visit and walk:Scent Mindfulness & Cat Safety: Managing a multi-cat household means I am deeply familiar with cat redirection aggression triggered by foreign scents. For the safety of your kitties, I ensure I carry zero home cat pheromones or scents on my clothes or hands when entering your home, creating a stress-free environment the moment I arrive.Secure Home Management: I double-check that all doors and gates are securely locked when entering and leaving. I am meticulous about home security, key handling, and ensuring your property is exactly how you left it.Reading Body Language: Raised on a farm, I speak fluent animal body language. I know how to read subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or illness in both cats and small-to-medium dogs, allowing me to adjust my approach to keep them completely comfortable and safe.Instruction Blueprint: Your house rules and care sheets are my absolute blueprint. Whether it's complex medication management, strict feeding boundaries, or keeping a 40lb-and-under pup safely away from larger hazards on a neighborhood walk, I follow your directions strictly to a T.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Elly and the exceptional care she provided for my pets! From my cats to my dogs, she went above and beyond to make sure they were loved, cared for, and comfortable. What truly stands out about Elly is her genuine love for animals and passion for pet sitting. She doesn’t just see it as a job; she treats every pet as if they were her own. Her compassion, patience, and dedication gave me peace of mind knowing my fur babies were in such loving hands. It takes someone special to care for both cats and dogs, and Elly does it with so much heart. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about taking care of their pets. Thank you, Elly, for treating my fur babies with so much love and kindness! You are absolutely amazing!
Elly is an animal lover through and through. Her connection with fur babies is undeniable. She loves playing and cuddling with them. She is responsible and loyal. Animals always come first. We are their outlet and often times their only companion- especially when their parents are away. Play time is important as well and being tidy and clean! I trust Elly with all of my animals. She is trustworthy and always is reliable.

- To ensure a smooth and stress free visit, it helps me to know a few key details ahead of time: * Routine & Feeding: Exact feeding schedules, portion sizes, and where food/treats are kept. * Behavior & Triggers: Any fears (like loud noises), hiding spots for cats, or leash reactivity for dogs. * Health & Medication: Any daily medications, allergies, or special care needs. * Home Logistics: Where cleaning supplies, litter scoops, or leashes are stored, and any house rules. Having this info beforehand allows me to keep your pets happy in their normal routine and gives you complete peace of mind!
