I’m reliable, attentive, upbeat idv

Pet care experience

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.

Elva is absolutely wonderful and we would highly recommend her. She watched our two small dogs for a week and was extremely communicative, understanding, and caring. Our dogs can be anxious to new environments and she went above and beyond to make them (and us) feel comfortable while we were gone. We loved the daily pictures and updates, and it was very apparent the dogs were well cared for and enjoyed their stay! Thank you so much, Elva!

Elva was great with our senior dog. She treated her like her own, she sent us updates everyday with pictures/videos. We felt comfortable and at ease on our vacation and will use Elva again for future vacations. Our dog is pooped from her vacation away from us. Thank you again!!

Our pup always looks forward to her walks with Elva. Elva is always on time and takes her on full walks.

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.

Information Elva L. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.
