Pet care experience

Flexible schedule, reliable care

Lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and a horse and studying psychology in college. I believe quality time for bonding, play and affection is just as important as food/potty breaks for pet happiness. The best part of pet sitting is the quality time spent with your pet after all the business is done!

She was on time, professional and kind to Cholo. She sent us pictures daily. Would rehire in a minute. Thank you Elspeth.

Elspeth watched our dog, Birdie, for 2 nights. Birdie was happy and well cared for the whole time. We would definitely use her again in the future.

She is very responsive about questions, and sent pictures updates. She has two additional dogs which are friendly and got along with our dog very well. Overall, very good experience.

We appreciate Elspeth's help in taking care of our chocolate lab Ziggy while we were on a day trip. She is an excellent communicator and very conscientious, and it was clear she did a fine job taking care of Ziggy's needs for a potty break, food, and play. She will be our go-to sitter whenever she's available.

Greyson had a great time with Elspeth and her two pups. Elspeth was very accommodating with Greyson's needs and schedule and ensured he was well taken care of. We had a positive experience.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule so I'm able to make most times work. I can walk, feed, water, scrub bowls, medicate (comfortable administering oral meds to dogs and cats), clean up as needed, play with and generally whatever is needed to keep your pet on a regular schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

We have 2 friendly smaller dogs and a dog door & ramp straight out to the fenced backyard. The house is one level with only 1 step in and out. There are crates set up in multiple locations and there are ways to separate animals safely if ever needed. Someone is home all day every day, pets are never kept without heat or AC.

Pets

A typical day

Outside of regular care feeding and walking, I love to play with and take dogs for a walk. Get out and sniff around. Then some quiet time back at home to ensure they are still getting love and affection while you are away.

Let me know if your pet has any fears or triggers (sudden movements, loud noises) I can be sensitive to to ensure their mental well-being.
