Summer, my golden doodle, absolutely LOVES Elias. She perks up and gets excited as soon as she smells his scent coming upstairs in the elevator. With a wagging tail, she runs to greet him every day...except when its raining outside because she knows Elias will put on all her rain gear. Summer is not a fan of rain! 
It's been two years since we switched dog walkers and hired Elias. Summer immediately connected with him and it was an easy transition. Generally, Summer is shy and tentative when meeting strangers.  But in no time at all, I remember Summer rolling over for a belly rub. Evidently she trusted Elias right from the start and so did I! 
Summer also boards with Elias when our family travels and we have great peace of mind knowing Summer will be well taken care of and attended to with love and attention. 
In summary, we rely on Elias twice a day, 7 days a week to walk Summer and he shows up! Elias is responsible and takes his job seriously.  While in his hands, you don't have to worry about your pup!
