Information Elle D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal needs any special care. I am more than willing to adjust my day around your pet. I don’t have any preference of breed or animal just happy to help!

A typical day

A tired dog is a good dog. I love going on lots of walks and adventures with your pup. I think it’s important for a dog to stay active and engaged when they’re away from their owner to minimize stress and anxiety. That said I of course will account for quality cuddling time

I already love your pet!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of all different kinds of pets from one hundred pound dogs to chinchillas and reptiles. I was lucky enough to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of animals and found great joy in taking care of them. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter and saw first hand how each animal has a different story. Above all I love pets and understand what your pet means to you.

Elle stayed at my home with my large breed older dog Chewie and cat Chase for six nights! Both of my pets were fed and well cared for by Elle. Thank you!
