Safety, trust & environment

each pet’s routine, personality, and medical needs. With over 20 years of veterinary experience in emergency, critical care, general practice, and end-of-life care, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical conditions — including seniors, anxious pets, post-op patients, and those requiring medications or special monitoring. In clients’ homes, I focus on maintaining pets’ normal routines to reduce stress and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I provide feeding, walks, enrichment, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration (including injections if needed), mobility assistance, and close observation for any changes in behavior or health. Fear Free handling techniques are always used to help pets feel safe and secure. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are being loved while they are away!

We’ve never left our cats with anyone before, but Elle made it so easy. She’s professional, responsive, and clearly knows her way around feline behavior. Even our shy girl came out to greet her by day two! We will definitely book again — Lindsay M. (two indoor cats)

Our senior Chihuahua Eva requires multiple meds and a lot of patience. This was our first time going on a trip without Eva so we were anxious especially with all her health conditions. Elle made us feel completely at ease while we were away the entire time. We got regular updates and photos —couldn’t believe the photo of Eva snuggled up on her lap! She’s usually not the easiest dog to deal with so we were beyond happy! Elle was wonderful can’t recommend her enough! — Carlos P
