Availability

I‘m currently working full time and I can provide a morning-, evening walk, feeding, brushing and bathing if requested. Recently, I took care of 2 Saint Bernards and a young male cat (there is no doggie door and it worked great with my schedule, beeing out for hours at work. I love to be outside, so I will spend as much time as possible, at a walk/ hike, playing with doggie toys or tossing a ball or freesby.

Pet care experience

In 2015 I rescued/ adopted Zack a 9 year old lab mix from SPCA in Greensboro, NC. Zack was taken care off by SPCA for 18month after his owner needed to move into a retirement home (no pets allowed). Zack and I had the pleasure to spend 5 beautiful and adventurous years together before he crossed the Rainbow bridge. Since my time with Zack, I enjoy being with dogs; however, I travel a lot so it is not a good time for me to have my own dog. Meanwhile, I‘m happy to take care of your dog / or cat.

Elke took amazing care of my pup and I will 1000% be requesting her services again. Her communication was great and she sent me several photos during Kobe’s visit. I was never once concerned, which is a relief while on vacation. I also appreciated her being willing to meet up beforehand to get to know Kobe a bit (she even brought treats!). If you need someone to watch your pup you are in great hands with Elke!

Elke took great care of Penny and was very accommodating with our schedule. She sent many updates while we were away, keeping us in the loop and we would definitely use Elke again!

It was good to leave Penny overnight knowing she was looked after. Thank you Elke!
