I LOVE dogs with a fiery passion!
Pet care experience
I do work full-time and I have a 1-yr old and am pregnant(due thanksgiving). However, my own dog (small very friendly) never sits in her crate more than 4 hours at a time besides bedtime because my husbands shifts are always different from mine. Usually I get home a couple hours after he goes in. My dog is only in the crate when we aren't home and it would be the same for any guests we have! :) I LOVE dogs and I want more but can't afford it so this is a GREAT way for me to love on dogs and help take care of them without taking on too much to handle. I will treat your own babies with the same special love I treat my own! Please note that I am flexible to your dog's needs. If you want me to leave your dog in my yard to play while we are away, I am more than happy to comply.
Reviews
If i could i would give this review ZERO STARS. I left my dog for a ten night trip to visit family over the holiday internationally. Throughout the trip i received very few updates (I believe only three, but i was busy as well and in a different time zone so I didn’t think to much of it). I left my puppy nala with a pink blanket she has had since I first got her (which was all nice and clean), two of her favorite toys, some treats, and an almost full bag of her dog food and dog bowls. The bad part comes when I finally return home. When i picked her up not only did she smell like urine and feces but she felt significantly lighter than before. I thought it could have just been because I had not held her in a while but by the time I got into the light it was clear she had lost weight. When I got home the first thing I did was weigh her and she had lost an entire pound which considering she is only a nine pound dog who has consistently been nine pounds throughout all of her pet visits which have been recorded is horrifying as a pet owner. When I was given the bag of her stuff it once again smelled the same as nala had and felt lighter, leading me to ask if everything was in it. I was told that the previous night nala and one of their older dogs got into it and finished all of it. Nala is a well trained dog and I leave her food out on the floor near her bowls and never once has she ever gotten into it. This lead me into questioning if they gave their dogs my dog food, didn’t feed my dog, or what the hell could have happened to it. By the time I get to my car I check out the rest of the stuff. One of her favorite toys is missing, while the other is missing two of its legs and is covered in other dog hair and is extremely dirty - nalas toys never get destroyed like this because she is too small to do any damage. There was also another dog toy left in the bag, I’m assuming to make up for the losses. Her food and water bowls were disgusting, once again with other dog hair and who knows what inside of them. Not too mention all of her treats were gone too. Last but not least, the blanket I left with her that she has had since I first got her was covered in what seemed to be urine, feces, and dirt. I am completely horrified at the condition of which all of my dogs stuff was in. The fact I gave trust in someone for ten days with my own dog and to see this as the outcome shocks me and would never recommend this to anyone. With the condition my dog and everything else was in I have no idea what could have gone on and can only think she was neglected throughout the whole stay.
Elsie Joy is a very good choice for taking care of our pets - three outside dogs, two indoor cats and a pen of chickens...for 9 days. I appreciated that she seemed to understand dogs very well. She trains dogs. And she loved being with our dogs. They loved her as well. When a storm came, she stayed with the pets to comfort them, and even cleaned my floor of the mud afterward! Can't ask for more than that.
