Lifelong animal lover ♥

Pet care experience

Since the young age of 10, I have been entrusted by friends and neighbors to care for their animals while they were away. I've cared for everything from dogs and cats to horses and guinea pigs. Nothing is out of my comfort zone when it comes to caring for animals. I have worked full time as a groomer for both dogs and cats at The Groom Station in West Branch IA. I can do everything from bathing, brushing, nail clipping, and even special treatments for your animal. I am a fur mom to my Samoyed, Nimbus. He loves playing with other dogs almost as much as he loves treats. I am working towards certifying him as a therapy dog to visit hospitals, schools, and special care centers.

Elinor has checked in on my cats for me several times now. Everything is always done the way I requested. Communication is great!

Elinor was just great. She left the house impeccably neat, and took excellent care of our 19 year old sick cat. Highly recommend!!

This was our first time using Rover. Elinor was a great choice for our two small dogs while we were gone for a few days. She's experienced and the dogs liked her right away. Reliable and sent us pictures every check in. No issues or complaints and would certainly go with her again.

This is our second time having Elinor pet sit and she’s wonderful. She’s trustworthy, thorough, and communicates well. My cats barely notice I’m back!

Information Elinor L. would like to know about your pet

My number one priority is to make your pup as comfortable and happy as possible while you're away. If they have any anxieties or aggression toward certain people, dogs, or situations that may come up, please notify me. Along with that if they take any medication or have any health concerns to be aware of during their time with me.

A typical day

I love spending time with animals. For some a fun activity means long walks, and playing tug-a-war, but some prefer cuddling and pets on the couch. I'm always down for anything to make sure they're happy and comfortable.
