Personalized care for your dog or cat - Ashland

About: I love animals and I have grown up with big dogs my whole life. I have been dog/cat sitting for 5 years now. We always had at least one or two and at one point I even had bunnies and chickens, and even a chipmunk! I am a part time college student and available Monday-Friday almost every week! I would love to check in on your furry friends or go on long walks! My fiancé and I just moved to Alpena a couple weeks ago for our second year of college! He is in lineman school and I am doing interior design and photography! I am a part time student and I am looking for something I can fill my days with as we are here Monday through Friday most weeks and we go back up home to where we are from (The U.P.) for the weekends. Although it’s the both of us, it would just be me who is caring for pets as he has is full time. I won’t be able to bring any pets home with me as we are in an apartment right now, but I will definitely be able to walk them and take them to parks as needed and care for them in their own homes.

“Elika was perfect for our Puma! She checked in with me every visit with details of Puma's feeding, water and pee and pooh activity. Elika was responsible, respectful and cautious in our home. We arrived home to our well cared for pet, that was happy to see us! When we need a sitter for Puma, Elika is the sitter for us!! Thanks again for your service, Jill”

About: Since childhood I have had a special place in my heart for dogs, birds, rabbits, freshwater and tropical fish, snakes, hamsters and geckos, all of which I have loved over the years as pets. I have also cared for friends and clients horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, parrots, boas, cats, dogs and bearded dragons. I enjoyed my favorite childhood moments at peace in the forests, farmland and equestrian schools and ranches. I helped to train a friend’s large breed rescue dog to stay back and sit so that one could more easily enter or leave the home. I like to have good boundaries with animals and allow or facilitate what the owner and pet needs. I also consider plants to be just as important to care for as animals. I have a somewhat flexible weekly routine offering: + Drop-Ins (Mon-Sun) + House Sitting 1-7days or longer; may be arranged to provide full time in home care if/when I have no other daily bookings. + Walks 30 min (longer = adjusted rate) daily. + Please chat with me for detailed scheduling as my routines are subject to change. I provide care for pets in the safety of the familiar surroundings of their owners home and neighborhood, with respect for their home spaces, routines, schedules, and needs: offering overnight sitting, walks and daily care drop ins.
