Safety, trust & environment

I am very knowledgeable about many types of dog breeds and will be more than happy to do what you normally do at home. I am trained to administer medicine to children, which translates over very well, and have given pills to many dogs over the last six years. We can go on hikes or trips to the beach. I am happy to include grooming services.

Information Eliot F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dogs feeding schedule, any allergies, special needs such as medications, if they require a crate, if they take treats and how many , their favorite game, if there are any areas of the body that they don’t like touched, etc. as detailed as you can be to ensure I am doing what is best for your dog.

A typical day

I have experience with agility and obedience as a sport. I can work with dogs on these skills if that's something you'd like. If you're working with a trainer, I am happy to continue what you're doing while you're away. We will play out in the backyard if you have one as well as take walks around the neighborhood. I do not go to dog parks as there are too many unpredictable situations and I my main priority is to keep dogs safe. I do enjoy going to the wildlife refuge and other wooded areas. I look into the local flea and tick populations before going anywhere with my dogs.

Pet care experience

For the last six years, I’ve worked in nearly every dog related field. I spent most of my time as an all around assistant to a former AKC rally/obedience judge and Landseer breeder. I’ve helped raise several litters of puppies, taken care of by senior dogs, exercised and worked dogs of all sizes. I assisted at a grooming salon giving baths, cutting nails, cleaning ears, and brushed a stated worth of hair. I work at a doggy daycare part time managing up to twenty dogs a day. I was also a toddler teacher for a long time and know that the patient and gentle approach is the way to go.

Not enough stars to rate them. Hunter is a difficult dog to tend. He is so nervous when I leave him he gets sick. Not this time. He was happy and calm. A perfect match. Even I was happy and calm seeing the pictures of my boy actually enjoying himself. My home was just like I left it. I can't say enough about Eliot. A perfect dog sitter.

Highly recommend Eliot! Very responsive and tons of photos and communication. We couldn't even tell anyone stayed at the house, and it’s clear all of our cats and dogs were well taken care of. Will definitely be booking again!

Eliot is the best! Our dogs were in love from visit number one and we were happy with communication and lots of pictures for our short trip. 10/10 would recommend Eliot to anyone in need of a dog sitter!

Eliot took great care of our cat (and our plants that needed watering!!). We received regular updates that were thorough and entertaining, plus lots of pictures!
