Dog and cat buddy who loves walks!

Pet care experience

As long as I can remember, I have had a pet or helped care for others' pets. I have worked as a foster pet parent for two nonprofits. I currently work from home most days with a very flexible schedule. Each morning the first thing I do is check on my pets and pets in my care. I love starting their day with exercise if they're up for it with fetch, chase, or a walk. My dog is fed twice a day and kept in a separate area from our rescue cat who mostly stays in our bedroom where he can watch "cat tv" through our large windows. I am exceptionally skilled at socializing animals and helping them stay comfortable, which can mean sectioning off areas of the home for different pet friends if needed. If it's a cat you need watched, I love getting cats feeling comfortable by being patient and using toys or treats that you approve of to help bring out their inner kitten. I have a fenced yard for dogs to use, including toys, dirt to dig in with no guilt, and an extra large water dish. We never lock dogs outside and they have easy access back inside whenever they want. I collect leashes for long walks and love the kind of bonding I can get with a one on one walk. If your pet needs extra exercise, I have you covered! The highlight of my day is walking my dogs or dogs in my care.

This is our first time using ROVER for pet sitting and we are SO GLAD to have found Elle. We were out of the country for a week and Elle took care of Samson with so much care, love and attention. She sent daily pictures and updates. In each picture Samson was happy and smiling and very content. Elle is a true professional and will love your dog as her own. We can’t thank her enough for helping make our vacation stress free and enjoyable by her amazing care of Samson.

Elle was AMAZING with our 2 girl dogs! Over 4 days, she took them for walks, gave them plenty of outdoor time, and provided daily updates with lots of pictures!

Elle was so great with my 2 girls! She kept me very updated even when I couldn’t get back to her right away. I really felt like they were part of their family and when they came home they were exhausted from all the fun they had!! Thanks again Elle and family!

Information Elle S. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I will need to know any special needs your pet has and what their socialization level is. I also like to know their favorite treats, activities, and how they are on a leash (but don't worry! I still love to walk them if they pull! I just try not to walk them with other pullers)

A typical day

We live in a neighborhood with sidewalks on every street, so 30 minute walks are no problem! We can also go to the beach or on a hike. I love playing with dogs, but understand play is different for each pet! We can play fetch, tug, or chase. We have a large variety of toys and treats on hand to encourage and reward all the good pups (and they're all good pups!)

Availability

I work together with my partner to make sure someone is always home with pets. My schedule changes, but I will only show availability for boarding if someone will be home at all times. We like dogs to feel at home, so we set up the house and yard to be safe for pets. I am mostly doing reading or computer work at home, and many guest dogs simply snuggle on my lap or next to me while I work, being well worn out from walks or yard time.
