Safety, trust & environment

I definitely have a lot of experience going to different client homes and working with a variety of situations and breeds. I love to give everyone's fur babies some love and care, like giving them some head or belly scratches, some play time, time to run around outside if need be, or providing some fresh water and a friendly person for them to hang out with.

Information Elliot L. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if anything makes them nervous, or things to avoid, like keeping them away from other dogs on walks. Alternatively I would love to know their favorite treats, toys, or if they prefer head scratches or belly rubs :)

A typical day

I’d love to bring your dog out for a fun walk, explore the neighborhoods, we could also run around and get some exercise in the backyard and play with all their favorite toys! I also love giving the pups a treat they like, and definitely won’t forget plenty of pets! I love to play with cats with their fave toys if they’re feeling up to it as well!

Pet care experience

I have worked in two animal care environments, one being a pet sitting/dog walking company, the other being a dog day care facility. I have supervised and cared for groups of dogs, as well as provided walks, play time, or fresh food/water. I also frequently used to watch my neighbors pups and home when they went out of town on vacations. I grew up with and helped take care of 2 cats and 2 dogs (a golden retriever mix and a german shepherd), as well as a few other critters like hamsters and hermit crabs, and I have currently have a cat of my own!

Elliot was very communicative, which I appreciated while being away! My cat also got along very well, and I felt comfort in knowing he was getting the care he needs!
