Pet care experience
Hi there, I'm Elle! I offer short and long-term housesitting (in your home) in Santa Cruz County. I have 3 years of consistent experience caring for dogs and cats while I've been a resident of Santa Cruz. Prior to this, I did occasional sitting for a friend of mine and her two pups when I was living in San Diego. In August 2012 I graduated from Grossmont Health Occupations Center as a Veterinary Assistant. Though I decided to not pursue this career, I learned a lot about animal care. I went on to work at WAG Hotel (fka Pooch Hotel) in San Diego from October 2012 through August 2013. There, I would be responsible for the safety of up to 30 dogs in a playpen of various sizes and breeds. Following that, I've done short-term gigs as a dog bather and volunteer work in Thailand with a shelter of 300 dogs! Since living in Santa Cruz, I've been house/pet sitting. I've had one client for over a year. His dog and I are well acquainted and he is always super excited to see me (as am I:)
Reviews
Elle really helped me with last-minute house and dog sitting for us--Rose was happy and I felt secure knowing everything was taken care of at home.

Safety, trust & environment
While I'm looking after your precious fur baby, you can expect for them to receive a lot of pets, cuddles, outdoor activities/play, leisurely walks that allow them to do dog things, treats, and photos for you to enjoy in seeing the love and joy they're receiving!
Information Elle B. would like to know about your pet
Temperament - are they good with other dogs? or with people? or with kids? What could potentially upset them? What do they love (toys, belly rubs, treats)? How often do they eat and when? How long do they need to run about?
A typical day
I like having balance and variety in the environment we go play in. I'll take the pup(s) to the dog beach, DeLaveaga for a hike and a river romp, and a park such as University Terrace so they can roam free as we play fetch.
Services
Elle can watch in your home
Availability
My current work allows so much freedom - either because I am setting my own hours as a massage therapist, or because I agree to particular shifts as a substitute preschool teacher. My schedule is very flexible.
