I am Tina McElvarr, a Certified Animal Health Technician (CAHT).  I founded the Love’m & Leave’m Home pet sitting  services in 2000, and have provided in-home pet care since 1972.  Prior to starting Love'm & Leave'm Home, I worked as a Veterinary Technician for 28 years.  I am fully able to administer all types of medications, injections and fluid therapy to your animal family members, as prescribed by your veterinarian.   Most people use vet boarding facilities to ensure medical safety while they travel, or simply because they are not aware of alternatives.  I have always believed strongly that a pet is much happier at home in a familiar environment, and I am able to bring a medical background  which allows them to maintain their normal routine.  Whether travel or extended daily work hours prevent you from being home,  knowing that I will provide high quality care can make the difference in your sense of comfort. My  background and experience will allow you to feel at ease when you are not at home, knowing your pets are in good hands!
