Pet care experience

Bringing out the Best in Every Pup.

I’ve been a lifelong pet owner with years of hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My journey has grown from family pets to more advanced training — I’m currently working with two active working dogs in sport, focusing on obedience, impulse control, and bitework foundations. Alongside this, I’m wrapping up my Dog Obedience Trainer certification program through Animal Behavior College, which has given me formal training in behavior modification, positive reinforcement, and client communication. This combination of personal dedication, professional coursework, and real‑world training means I bring both compassion and structure to every dog I work with. Whether it’s daily care, structured exercise, or specialized training, I’m committed to creating a safe, enriching environment where dogs can thrive.

Did a great job taking care of my Bengal cat. He needed his daily meds and the sitter was able to administer them. They also updated me daily with pics. Would book again!

We had a wonderful experience! Ellacia took great care of our pup, kept us updated with photos, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Papaya came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with her again. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. I maintain a secure, pet‑friendly environment with a fenced yard and two well‑socialized dogs to provide companionship. I’m experienced in crate training and can easily accommodate dogs who need their own space or structured downtime. Because I’ve completed my coursework and internship through Animal Behavior College and am currently training two working dogs for sport, I bring both professional knowledge and practical experience to every interaction. I understand how to read canine body language, manage play safely, and reinforce positive behaviors. You can trust that your pup will be cared for with patience, consistency, and respect. Whether it’s boarding, training, or daily care, I create a safe and enriching environment where dogs thrive and owners feel confident.

Pets

A typical day

A Typical Day: Your pet’s day here is filled with structure, play, and plenty of love. We start with morning potty breaks and breakfast, followed by time in our fenced yard where dogs can stretch their legs, explore, and enjoy supervised play. Throughout the day, I rotate activities to keep pets engaged — whether it’s agility practice, puzzle games, or cuddle time indoors. Afternoons often include enrichment exercises like stuffed Kongs or interactive toys, and in the summer months, pups can cool off in our small doggie pool. Evenings wind down with calm play, training refreshers, and a cozy rest. Fun Activities: - Safe play in a spacious fenced yard - Agility equipment for exercise and confidence building - Loads of toys for interactive play - A doggie pool for summer splash sessions - Enrichment with puzzles and stuffed Kongs - Personalized obedience training and behavior work (as a certified dog trainer)

To give your pet the best care possible, I like to know a few key details before they stay with me: - Daily Routine: Feeding schedule, potty breaks, exercise needs, and any bedtime rituals. - Health & Safety: Allergies, medications, dietary restrictions, or past injuries I should be mindful of. - Behavior & Training: Comfort levels with other dogs/cats, any problem behaviors you’d like me to work on, and obedience cues they already know. - Preferences: Favorite toys, games, or comfort items that help them feel at home. - Special Needs: Anxiety triggers, mobility issues, or anything unique to their personality that helps me provide the right support. As a certified dog trainer, I can also incorporate obedience practice or behavior work into their stay — but knowing their background ahead of time ensures I can keep them safe, happy, and engaged.
