Pet care experience

I’m reliable, attentive, upbeat idv

My beagle suffered from seizures occasionally, having patience is key. Growing up I’ve had every pet imaginable, all to my mother's dismay (smile). Family, neighbors and friends have appreciated my dedication, compassion, and loving nature when caring for their fur babies. My daughter and I will spoil your pet with lots of snuggles and belly rubs. I will treat your pet as if they were my own.

Boarding • Jul 06, 2026

Elva is very communicative and was so great with Sloan while watching her over the 4th of July. Sloan is already very anxious so the fireworks don’t help, but she was very calm and well taken care of when I picked her up.

Drop-In Visits • May 28, 2026

Elva was great with my dogs! She is professional, reliable, always on time, and truly cares about making sure my babies get the most out of their visit. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands, and they were always happy and well cared for after spending time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Elva always does a great job walking our dog. She communicates well and always lets us know about changes or if there is anything we need to know about our dogs walk.

Safety, trust & environment

Currently, I don’t have a dog so you won’t have to worry about another dog’s temperament clashing with your pet. I have all the necessities on hand to make your pup’s stay comfortable, this eliminates the need to lug all your pet’s possessions. I can host up to two small dogs from the same household if under 40lbs each. I have a small but quant and secluded unfenced yard that is set back on the property. I have lots of potted plants, lawn chairs, an outdoor rug, and a raised bed for my annual vegetable garden. It's not much but it’s my little oasis where your pet and I can sit and relax.

A typical day

My day with be influenced by your dog’s wake/walk/feeding schedule, including any special requests to allow your dog to transition into my home as quickly as possible. My daughter and I will take nightly walks with your pet before bed to avoid any accidents. You can be assured we will give your pet lots of cuddles and kisses. I live in a quiet neighborhood with several parks within walking distance.

I have taken care of older and younger dogs where I’ve had to administer oral medication. I kindly ask that all dogs be potty trained and mild mannered. No dogs under a year old. For boarding, I respectfully ask that all dogs be bathed before long stays, as I allow them on sofas and beds.
