About Elana

Experience: 5 yrs

I am a lifelong dog-lover who wants to make sure your fluffy family member is well taken care of when you can't be there! I grew up with a Portuguese Water Dog named Max, who passed a few years ago but who left paw prints forever on my heart. In his old age, he became difficult to walk and temperamental. He also started having eye problems and required multiple eye drops a day and various oral medications, so I have had years of experience administering medicine to unenthusiastic canines. I have boarded and walked a variety of breeds other than my old childhood dog. I volunteered at various dog shelters throughout high school and college, making me comfortable with feeding rituals, cleaning, and difficult dogs. For the past 4 years I lived with a sweet Miniature Goldendoodle named Bella and frequently cared for her when my roommate was busy or away. I believe that, in a perfect world, every home would have a dog and every dog would have a home =)

I just can't say enough good things about Elana!! My husband and I were going on a cruise, and it was so incredibly important to us to have someone we could trust with our baby. When Elana met our dog, Attie, it was love at first sight for Attie! Attie is a 100 lb dog - he's a sweetheart, but it takes a very special and reliable person to handle a dog of this size. During our vacation, we got lots of great puppy pics :0). Elana played with him every day and took him on lots of walks. I'm sure he misses her! I just can say how much it mattered to us that we felt like he was in good hands. Elana is a sweet and intelligent person - dependable and reliable. Not as critical to us, but also worth mentioning that our home was spotless when we got back home. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!
