Highlights
Pet care experience
One dog at a time
HIGHLIGHTS: * 20+ years of experience * No additional kids or pets are in my home * I only board one pet at a time * My house is clean, calm, and comfortable * Top-down Jeep with a dog ramp for easy access * Weather permitting, I'll take your dog to the park, beach, & forests * Rover "Star Sitter" designation for 5 years * Over 100 5-star Rover reviews * 5 years on Rover ABOUT ME: Welcome to Elliot's bed 'n biscuit! I have been a dog- and cat-foster parent and animal caretaker for the SPCA, the Trustees, and other animal rescues for the last 20 years. I'm proud to say I've helped with the adoption process of over 500 rescued animals. Through this work, I've learned how to keep animals feeling calm, safe, and well-adjusted. Rover gives me a chance to hang out with animals more regularly, and to meet so many great pet-parents. It's truly been a delight to meet people who love their furbabies and work so hard to keep them safe, well-adjusted, and happy. My goal is to establish long-term, multi-year relationships with pet owners and their pets. MY LOCATION: My house is convenient to Rt 60, Rt 1, and Rt 1A and Logan Airport - making it convenient for you to drop off/pickup your pet as part of your travel plans. When you drop off/pickup your pet, you will park directly in front of my house and walk about 10 paces to my front stairs. MY AVAILABILITY: I keep my Rover calendar current. To check, my availability, ** click on the individual days ** in the calendar my profile, which will tell you how many spots I have left. Alternatively, if you want to just set up a booking, I'll get back to you quickly and let you know if I'm available. If a single night at the beginning or end of your desired stay isn't available, please contact me - it could just be a quirk of the calendar feature of Rover and I might be able to work around it. MY HOUSE: My house is an airconditioned, two-story walkup with a small backyard. On the main floor, pets are welcome to snooze on any surface they would prefer, including two large pet beds and a wrap-around sectional. A carpeted staircase connects the downstairs to the upstairs. On the upper floors, pets are welcome to snooze on our bed or couches - wherever they feel comfortable. Cats in my home will enjoy a ropes-and-cubbies cat-tower that is also disinfected between stays. MY CAR: Dogs love my Jeep Wrangler. If your dog likes car rides, I'll take them for a ride in the Jeep, top-down if the weather permits. I have a safety clip in the car to keep a dog safely inside the car. If your dog needs assistance getting into and out of the Jeep, I can either carry them in/out or they can use my dog ramp.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Elliot and Jo were great with this trial stay for our pup, Tony. We were able to schedule a Meet & Greet promptly, and we all agreed to a one night trial stay to ensure that they could meet Tony’s needs and our expectations. We got multiple updates with photos and/or videos and they followed his instructions to a T. We’re glad to have found new, quality sitters to care for our baby when we travel!
Elliot was a wonderful sitter for our dog, Hank. We dropped him off at Elliot’s house for 3 nights and we could tell Hank was living his best life. Lots of good walks, couch time, treats. Elliot was very professional and asked all the right questions to make sure Hank’s specific needs were met. We knew he was in great hands and didn’t worry about him during our trip. We got sweet photo/video updates too. Overall, we are so grateful to have found Elliot and would recommend him to anyone.
Elliot is an excellent caregiver to our dog Lainey. She has a good mix of fun activities and downtime during her stays. Elliot provides daily photo and video updates of Lainey that are sweet reminders of our girl. Can’t recommend Elliot enough!
Elliot took amazing care of my dog! Including giving her pills!! He was communicative and kind and understanding. Can’t recommend him highly enough!
I always have such peace of mind leaving my pup with you! Thank you!
Great home, great sitters. No issues reported, and they took my dog to the beach, which he loves!! Thank you Elliot!

Schedule
MY SCHEDULE: I only take one pet at a time to keep your pet safe and well-attended. I work from home, so pets in my care have almost 24x7 access to me.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
HOW I CARE FOR ANIMALS: I offer overnight boarding in my home. I try to keep pets safe, calm, and comfortable in my home. I work from home, and pets are welcome to spend their entire day cuddled up by my side. At night, pets can sleep where they prefer: large pet bed, sofa, bed, floor. If you prefer your pet to be crated at night, that's fine too. If your puppy is on a crating schedule, I can keep him/her on it.
A typical day
A TYPICAL DAY (DOG): My neighborhood has several green spaces for walking dogs. Near to me are three large fields where dogs can enjoy running and playing on a long line. There is also a fenced dog park (Paws and Play off Rt 1) close by. I generally prefer to take dogs to the beach or forest for "outdoor" time. I enjoy taking dogs to local parks and beaches North of the city (including Nahant Beach and the green spaces throughout Cape Ann). From October - March, I takes dogs to Revere Beach. I will walk your dog according to the schedule they are used to, if you prefer; otherwise I usually take dogs for 4 walks / day. In between walks, dogs enjoy sleeping on all the plush sofas and beds I have or they can play with Kongs, ropes, balls, frisbees, and chew sticks. Some dogs enjoy the big screen TV, where they can watch dog competitions or "dog tv". At night, dogs can sleep on any surface they prefer, or I can crate them if you/they prefer that. A TYPICAL DAY (CAT): Cats in my care have free roam of air-conditioned space spaces in my house, unless otherwise requested by owners. I have mountains of toys for cats (balls, feathers, string toys and ribbons, crinkle toys) and a wood-and-sissal cat tower that can be easily cleaned between stays. I enjoy cuddle-time with kitties, so if your kitty is in search of a warm lap, look no further.
