She doesn't have enough experience with dogs and has very questionable decisions. She gave too much treat to our dog which made her vomit. She didn't inform us about it, told us everything is good. After taking Gigi back, we noticed that Gigi's bed is covered with vomit and there was vomit stains on all her body. Apparently she let her sleep in vomit and didn't clean the bed and Gigi. Another unusual thing was that she decided not to take off her leash because she didn't want to "hurt her". So she thought that leaving her on the leash for 6 days is a good idea. She took it off only after we insisted. All in all, I don't think she knows how to take care of dogs.

Response from Elvina

Dear Emre, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations, and I understand how upsetting it can be to have concerns after returning home. I would like to clarify a few points respectfully. Gigi vomited once during the stay and immediately returned to her normal behavior - she was active, cheerful, eating well, and showed no signs of discomfort. When you picked her up, she appeared well and behaved as usual. After reflecting on this, I understand that informing you about the incident right away would have been better, and I acknowledge that this communication could have been handled differently. Regarding food and treats, I followed the feeding instructions provided and did not give excessive snacks. The vomiting did not occur after feeding and may have been caused by Gigi eating something quickly during a walk. Gigi slept in her crate as requested. When the incident happened inside the crate, I attempted to remove the vomit and cleaned the area; however, the bedding and toy could not be completely cleaned. Concerning the leash, it was only kept on indoors at the very beginning, as I was worried about causing discomfort when removing it. After your clarification, I removed it when we returned from walks. I also shared regular videos during the stay where you can see whether she was wearing the leash or not. I do have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, and my previous stays have received positive feedback from other owners. I genuinely care about the animals I look after and always act with their well-being in mind. I regret that this experience led to dissatisfaction and appreciate the feedback, which I will take into account to improve in the future. Kind regards, Elvina

Thanks Elvina for taking good care of Teddy. He had a great time at your place and you were super helpful to look after him while we needed to run some errands. It was clear communication and on time with you. Thanks again!

Elvina and her boyfriend took excellent care of my dog, Nix. They were reliable, attentive, and clearly experienced with animals. Nix quickly felt comfortable with them, and I appreciated the regular updates and thoughtful communication throughout. I came home to a happy and well-cared-for dog. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters.

About me

10 years experience

Pet lover in Amsterdam 🐱🐶

My name is Elvina and I live next to the Oosterpark in Amsterdam. Cats and small dogs make me happy and I miss my pets. I grew up playing and taking care of cats. That is why I have decided to join Petbnb as a pet sitter.

I can feed, change water, play with your pet(s), comb their hair, change their toilet/walk with them around and throw their litter away. During a visit, I will take pictures of your pet and send to you.

I can visit your pet on a regular basis and my schedule is flexible.

Hope to see your pet soon :)
