About

***I'm currently only available for local dog walking & feeding, and cat feeding. No overnight stays.*** I also am fully vaccinated for COVID-19, with two booster shots. It's my top priority to prove I'm trustworthy to the animals I serve, and to the humans who love them. I have a high success rate of forming a quick bond with animals, but also understand that respect needs to be earned, which sometimes takes time. I gain pet owners' trust through my reliability, and the care I put into my work. Animals are sweet souls, full of personality and keen instinct. I love to get to know and connect with them, as they remind me to be the best human I can be.

The scale above is not adequate to rate Elecktra Grant; I am giving her a 10 star rating! Elecktra took care of my three cats and my home while I was on holiday for 20 days. Elecktra is an interesting, intelligent and outstanding person; She teaches college level courses in "sustainability". She loves animals and my cats love her. My cats are a challenge, they need special food, eye drops, etc. Elecktra took on the responsibility and did an outstanding job. I know that when one leaves their loved ones and home to another person they want to be able to feel comfortable in doing so. If you meet and hire Elecktra you will have no worries when you leave home!! When I came home my cats were calm, happy animals and my home was immaculate. Elecktra is a knowledgeable adult who knows what she wants to do. You will be lucky if you hire her. She is my go-to cat/house sitter from now on!

Electra Grant took care of our cat during two days. We made all arrangements via e-mail and phone; this was very efficient.
After our return we found "Monty" very happy and Elektra left a pleasant handwritten note abour her experience.
During our next trip we hope that Elektra Grant can help us again. - Peter & Gerda Georgi

My husband and I and our springer spaniel, Oliver, just got back from a five-week stay in Santa Monica. The bungalow was great, but no private yard/doggie door, so we really needed someone to take care of Oliver on our long days/nights out. Elektra was the perfect dog sitter. Her availability and flexibility were great and Oliver adored her from the start -- and he's a spaniel, so not a pushover. Elektra is completely dependable, trustworthy, and delightful. She's that fine combination: good for the people, good for the dog. Plus, she took great pictures of Oliver throughout their time together!

My sweet dog Esme liked everyone, but there were few that she loved (besides me) and Elektra was one of those people. Esme was a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix that I rescued when she was approximately 3yo. She had a bit of sad soul and I felt it was my duty to bring love and light back into her life. When I needed help with her care because of my work or travel schedule, Elektra was my number one choice. I knew that Esme was in wonderful hands and it eased my mind knowing that she was being looked after by such a caring person. Unfortunately Esme passed away just shy of her 9th birthday, but I'm grateful for my time with her and so blessed to have had Elektra's support when needed. I know she gave Esme love and affection equal to mine because I saw it in Esme's eyes and her happy body wiggle whenever we'd run into Elektra. I promise you, your beloved pets are in loving hands when you hire Elektra! She's a wonderful person and your pets will pick up on that immediately.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Because each client and their pets have unique needs, my pricing structure can vary. I take into consideration: * Number and types of pets * Services requested * Special needs or challenging behaviors * Drop by visits vs overnight stays. I'm happy to discuss further with you, and to provide a fair and competitive quote.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My neighbor hired me to take care of her cat when I was 8 years old. Thanks to great references and my love of animals, I've been able to continue this enjoyable line of work for many years.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I was honored to have a dog who is normally wary of strangers snuggle up to me within 5 minutes of meeting him.
