How Do I Register With Elliot's House?
What vaccines are required?
Everybody must be up-to-date on Bordetella, distemper, and rabies. For cats, we only ask for a rabies certificate.
What happens after I Register my Dog?
As soon as we get all of the elements of the registration in we will be in touch with you in order to set up a temperament test at our facility in Somerville located at 230 Somerville Ave. near Union Square.
A temperament test is a series of tests to make sure that we do not allow any aggressive dogs in our facility. It is required for all dogs that walk through the door that they pass the test in order to participate in any of our services except for grooming
For any services that take place in the home, we require that you have a lockbox set up or door codes that allow us to access your home for services. We do not take keys. Also when it comes to parking we require that you have a Cambridge or Somerville parking pass available for our caretakers during the service. If they do get a ticket due to not having the pass the cost will be passed down to you, the clients.
