Highlights
Pet care experience
I love all pets like my own!
Growing up in South Africa, going on safari was a significant part of my culture, and my love for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. After the loss of my beloved 20-year-old cat, I found joy in walking and playing with a neighbor's Husky, helping to fill that void. Currently, I don't have any pets of my own, so your furry friend will be my top priority and cherished companion until you return. I moved to the mountains five years ago and work primarily from home, allowing me to provide plenty of attention and care. I am very hands-on, with a wealth of love to give, and I have a natural knack for connecting with animals. My cat used to snuggle with me every night, and I can't wait to welcome more little fur-balls into my life to cuddle. My standard nightly rate includes up to 2 pets. In addition to my passion for animals, I have completed a cat and dog CPR certification course through the Red Cross, ensuring that I am prepared for unexpected situations that may arise. I also hold my own liability insurance underwritten by Lloyds of London, separate from Rover's insurance, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Furthermore, I have successfully passed an enhanced background check by a third-party provider. Animals are my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to live in the mountains, surrounded by all the beautiful wildlife. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member/s!

Ratings and reviews
We could not have left our fur babies in better hands. This was our first experience with Rover and will be using again. Elma was absolutely fantastic! Kept us informed throughout her visit with Riko and well she was an absolute delight!!
Elma was terrific with Teddy. It was apparent that the time went really well. We will be booking Elma again.
Elma is the best! She is so dependable, kind, amazing with animals. Our dogs adore her. We always come home to the happiest puppies!
Elma is very considerate and drove through a terrible snow storm to get to my Freya. I really feel like I can count on her to watch and care for my pup and house while I’m away. Happy to have someone on the mountain!
Elma took care of our dog Chlodwig while we were at our daughter's wedding. She was great with him and took him on several walks and sent cute photos. We were able to enjoy the evening knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely choose Elma again.
Elma is such a gift to our family and went above and beyond, keeping in touch with us extensively when we were out of town during the Line Fire. We had to cut our trip short and Elma made sure our pet family was looked after and safe until we arrived home. Thank you for everything!

Schedule
Pets need love, security and re-assurance when their human parents are on vacation. That is why I prefer to house sit. I can also just drop in for feedings and walks if you are more comfortable with that.
