Your Dog Will Feel Right At Home!

Pet care experience

My home is a friendly place where dogs are most welcome! There's space to move around, plenty of sunlight, minimal noise/distraction, and me--longtime dog enthusiast and friendly pet custodian! The neighborhood is quiet and suburban, and there are a number of nearby parks and open spaces for getting daily exercise. My condo is located on the ground level, so accessibility to the outdoors is simple: just a slide of the side door and your pet can be one with nature. As if that wasn't enough, I'm always there to care for your dog. My flexible schedule allows me to provide a virtually uninterrupted level of attention to the needs of your pet. Food, water, exercise, playtime, whatever. I'm there to ensure that your pet has the very best. In addition, my home is located only a few miles from the nearest animal hospital. In the (exceedingly unlikely) event that your pet should require the services of a highly skilled veterinarian, I can get them there in no time flat. You can feel at ease knowing that under my supervision, your dog would be hard-pressed to find a better caretaker! About this sitter: I'm a formally trained musician/visual artist and area native. After a 4 year hiatus to pursue a career in government, I returned to creative ventures and freelance work, helping companies hone their image and reach new clientele. I play the bass in a local band, am a pianist for-hire, and also a private music tutor. Leisure activities include target shooting, tennis, baseball, boxing, and hiking.

Elton was very accommodating at the last minute accepting our request for a babysitter after our pup's surgery. He sent pictures and updated us that she was great during daycare. Thank you so much for being so great to our baby girl!

Why I love dog sitting I've been a fan of dogs since I was a kid. My family had beagles growing up, and I currently own two mixed-breed dogs.
