Elina & James

Pets are one of life's greatest joys and it is always my honor to get to meet and love some new animals while their owners are away. It makes my stay even cozier than booking a hotel/airbnb.

Every animal is different and has a different approach to strangers and different boundaries. I basically let the set the pace and adjust to them versus them adjusting to me. This has allowed me to make “friends” with plenty of shy and/or scared pets even to the surprise and joy of owners. My goal is their comfort, safety and care. Animals have personality. And just like there are grumpy people, there can be grumpy animals. I let them do their thing in peace but stay available in case they want some attention or company. But of course the cuddle bugs are my favorite. 😍

I work in technology sales remotely so I just need a stable wifi connection and preferably a monitor I can hook up to and I am all set. I actually sell background checks to large enterprise companies so you can rest assured as I had to undergo one myself too contingent upon my hire. 🧏🏻‍♀️ My boyfriend James works in risk management at a bank, so he just needs a stable wifi connection and he is good.

Entrusting us with the keys to the Kingdom and all it’s animals is such a sacred thing to me. Home is where the heart is, so we honor and hold that trust in high regard. Whatever house rules are normally applicable with owners like no shoes in the house, or areas of the house that are closed off are going to indeed be respected and collect dust so to speak. 😊🙌🏼

It also goes without saying that when we are guests at someone's home, We clean up after myself, non-smoker, make sure the place looks the same or better than how we found it, never have any guests over and certainly am happy to send plenty of photos and videos of the pets to the vacationing owners so they can see their fur and feather babies are being spoiled.
