Safety, trust & environment
I always consider safety and comfort first. If a client’s pet is loose in the home, doors are opened carefully so as to ensure no escapees and avoid inadvertently pinches paws in tight spaces. Announcing myself, saying hello in a calm voice, I have found to be best as it generally is less startling to pets who may not have already heard me approaching the home. Checking for messes, cleaning up, fresh water & food as requested, & of course plenty of playtime. Ensuring your pet and gates/doors are secure again before I leave are crucially important to me. A quick text to confirm arrival/departure will be sent if requested. If you are away for multiple days, then pictures will be sent to keep you smiling, knowing your pet is enjoying your vacation as much as you are ☺️ All walks require a harness, leash, and ID tag. I can bring my own leashes, but I do not have a wide variety of harness sizes on hand. Please ensure you pet has an ID tag if they will be going on walks OR even if just let out into a fenced yard. I take every precaution I can, and will walk fence lines periodically to look for any escape opportunities, but an ID increases chance of your pet returning home should they find a missed escape route or break free of a leash/harness. All Veterinary information & your contact info should be in an obvious place such as pinned to board by door or on your refrigerator in case of emergency or urgent questions. I will of course add this information to my phone upon meet & greet, but I’ve found pet parents more likely to have the most up to date info posted in their house (ie change of vet offices, new info on nearest emergency vet, latest vaccines, etc)

Pet care experience
Your pets deserve extra attention, and you deserve peace of mind! With experience tending to a variety of pets growing up, from dogs & cats to birds & horses, it’s no wonder pets “know” I’m there for them. I have the patience for puppy & kitten playtime antics (& cleanup), the gentle care for older pets needing a little extra attention (& medication), and the trust for anxious pets & their people to feel more at ease. Services via this app are predominantly designed for use while you’re away from home, but I am available to offer these services for when owners are home as well & need a hand. Perhaps health issues have made it more difficult to do some tasks & you need someone to check in to help feed your pets & sift the litter box. Maybe you have so many dogs that you simply need an extra set of hands to walk a couple of them. Or perhaps you work from home and and a shift change doesn’t allow for you to take the much needed break to care for your pets on their routine. Whatever the need, I’m here. 😊 Please reach out with any questions.
Reviews
Elisha took care of my dog Angel a while back when my family was away on vacation. Angel stayed with Elisha and her family at their house. She was loved and looked after the entire time she was there. Elisha's pets got along great with Angel and Elisha would send video and photo updates throughout. 10 out of 10, would recommend.
