Introduction: I've been training, boarding and walking Boston's dogs as my primary profession for over three years. I pride myself on finding the most effective means of communication with your pet to achieve the results that you want and a healthy, happy pup. Working with your cherished pet provides me with instant satisfaction. Dogs have taught me so much about body language,communication and proper motivation. I'm here to pass this knowledge along to you, the owner.

Elle was great - very good with my puppy and a lot of great tips for getting her to heel and walk well on the leash!

Let me start off by saying that I have had dogs for over 25 years and had never ever ever left them with a sitter, or boarded them- they have always stayed with someone whom I have known for years. Elle was my first sitter- ever- and I was so completely freaked out to use pet sitting services! Needless to say Elle's professionalism, compassion, intelligence and genuine nature put me 100% at ease (not an easy thing to do). She was so responsive, clear, reliable and willing to accommodate our preferred routine in every way she could for the entire week we were away. She even was willing to meet with us twice before we left and to stay at our house as well as send several daily updates (I am such an anxious dog-mom!) reporting on their daily activities together! :) (so appreciated!) She literally exceeded our expectations- I am not one that is readily put at ease yet this is exactly what Elle did with her skills and warmth. Our dog was so well tended to and cared for by Elle that despite his aloof nature they became friends! We will definitely use her stellar services again- I cannot recommend her highly enough.

FAQs

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Changing your dog's behavior is not something that happens overnight. Your dog must trust me, practice time and again and then I must teach you to elicit the same behavior from your pet. Be ready for at least 5-10 training sessions depending on the situation.
