About: I worked 1 year in pet boarding. And bath groomer. I cared every single breed and also cared a lot cats. It’s amazing !!!I loved it I’m available to play all afternoon. I really love spent my time with them. In the morning I have a job but I’ve arrived always early to my home. I always take care to them. Hours to eat, hours to play, to go to walk, most importantly make feel the dog comfortable and also the costumer. I am currently not working but have a few errand along the day. In the morning as soon as I wake up I would take care of the cleaning pet area, feeding and walking if needed. I would repeat the process in the afternoon. I make sure to keep everything as clean as possible, separate the pets as directed by the owners, also feed and walk (of dog) twice a day or as directed for the owner

“This is the second time I’ve used Elines to watch my dog, Ice, and once again, she exceeded my expectations. She’s incredibly responsible and always on time, which I truly appreciate. What really sets her apart are the regular updates and adorable pictures she sends—they give me such peace of mind when I’m away. Elines is so kind and attentive, and it’s clear how much love she gives Ice. I can tell he really enjoys his time with her, and that means everything to me. I will definitely continue to use her services and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!”

Betty B.
“I have two cats, both of whom look forward to Betty taking care of them when I go out of town. I have known Betty for a long time and she has been taking care of my animals for about 4 years now. Betty takes the time to pay attention to each of them when they approach her. She knows what each of the cats likes in terms of food and attention and provides that they are accustomed to and that I have come to expect whenever I am away. Additionally, she keeps my apartment clean when she goes in, especially the litter box area, which with two cats can be kind of a crazy area. She’s the best!”

Lauren did a great job caring for my senior cat for a week. She was very communicative and responsive.
Symba was an exceptional host. He has great communication skills and I could tell by the photos that Leo was super happy to see him every day! There was also little snafu with my roommate missing a flight and still being in the apartment when Symba arrived, and Symba was very professional about the situation. Thank you for that
Working with Mikey was super easy and simple. They took great care of my cat Walter and were quick to respond to any communication.
Dominick was absolutely exceptional! So thorough, and provided such detailed, thoughtful, and frequently hilarious narratives about visits with our cats! We will definitely be booking again! Thank you!
Alicia was amazing! She took great care of my Shih Tzu over the holiday weekend and was incredibly patient and understanding, especially when I had some unexpected issues with my door lock. She kept me updated regularly, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I truly appreciated her kindness, flexibility, and professionalism. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
So thankful for the amazing care Estephania gave my cat over the weekend! She was kind, responsible, and kept me updated the whole time. I came home to a happy kitty, couldn’t have asked for better care!
Julien is the best! Our cats love her and we love seeing the photos from Julien every visit. She is communicative, reliable, and a great cat person.
Kim went above and beyond caring for our 19 year old diabetic cat. Sure took his complicated health needs in stride - she took his blood glucose levels, administered his insulin shots and gave him medicine in his food - and even took him out in the garden for exercise. She’s was really kind hearted and communicated really well. Thoroughly recommended!
Thank you for everything. It wasn’t an easy job. We were so worried about our elderly cat. Leonore did a great job with our old man. Thank you!
