Elaina $28 per hour for 1 child

With over 15 years of experience in pet care, I bring reliability, compassion, and genuine love for animals to every visit. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities - offering everything from daily walks and playtime to overnight sitting and special care for senior pets. My background includes working with busy professionals and families who trust me to keep their pets happy, healthy, and safe while they’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, extra cuddles, or maintaining routines, I treat every pet like my own - ensuring peace of mind and wagging tails every time.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
