Information Ely R. would like to know about your pet

Just a couple of simple rules for our lovely get-together: please make sure your pupper is friendly. If you happen to have a feisty furball, don't worry! We can also work on some dog training to help your pooch make some new friends. I've had great results socializing even older dogs, so we're in for a tail-wagging good time! ? Let me know how your pets day usually goes and I will do my best to continue their routine and make them feel as comfortable as they are in your home. Like you never left ❤️

A typical day

Kara and I start our typical day with your dog with an early morning walk, taking advantage of the neighborhood's quiet surroundings. Throughout the day, we engage with your pet in various fun activities and lots of baby talk. When it comes to walks, we enjoy taking dogs to a local dog park, allowing them to socialize with other dogs and expend their energy under our watchful eyes. We also enjoy relaxing in the house with lots of petting and tail-wagging. Overall, my goal is to make sure your dog is always happy, physically active, and feels like they are still with you in your home, ensuring that our days are filled with enjoyment and peace.

Meet Alexa and Kara 🐾🦴🐶

Pet care experience

Hello fellow pet parents! My name is Ely, and I’m here with my amazing wife Alexa and our 2-year-old Siberian husky, Kara, whom I rescued, to share our deep love and commitment to caring for your beloved pets.. Since 2009, I’ve had the joy of building a trusted client list of over 80 happy pet parents who can vouch for my reliability, compassion, and expertise. Kara is not just my companion—she’s a social butterfly who loves playing with other dogs and has an amazing gift for helping them feel safe, calm, and right at home. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, cats, and even exotic animals. From energetic puppies to wise senior pets, we’ve provided everything from medication administration to behavioral support for shy or reactive animals. One of my specialties is training and working with aggressive or unsocialized dogs—and Kara plays a therapeutic role in helping them grow in confidence and trust. We have mastered walking groups of dogs—sometimes up to 7 at once!—and we thrive in active, engaging environments where every animal gets individualized care. Your pet’s needs become our top priority, and we’re proud to offer the same love and consistency you provide at home. Thanks to my flexible telework schedule and my husbands steady support, your pets will enjoy frequent walks, constant water refills, and unlimited snuggles. We keep them on their routine, so they feel secure, loved, and happy. Our home is equipped with a fenced-in yard, Dyson air filtration, and plenty of cozy spots—including the couch, if your pets are allowed! When caring for your pets in your home, we take care of lights, mail, packages, and security, treating your home and animals as if they were our own. We can’t wait to welcome your furry family into our circle of care.
