Pet care experience

Your fur babies best friend!

Growing up I’ve always had dogs and cats and It was alway my job to take care of them and as I got older people realized how good I was with animals so my family friend started asking me to watch their pets and I’ve been doing it since !

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority when it come to your pets I would treat them as if they were mine so I would ask as many questions I can think of to keep them safe and to avoid any types of problems on a walk or just a normal day outside or even in your home.

Second time having Elmer dog sit for us, second time it was great! Communicative, helpful, and caring. What more could you want!

Elmer took care of our two guys and our house for two weeks. He was a great communicator and made sure that our dogs' medications were done on time (and there are a lot of pills right now). Highly recommend!

Let me know if your dog is reactive so I can have an idea of them and/or any habits they might have that I might have to look out for.
