I care for pets as if they’re my own. I allot time to meet their physical and emotional needs, as well as dedication to routine for a seamless boarding experience.

Ahead of time, I’d like to know the activities and routines that keep your dog most at ease. I want to provide an experience that lets your dog feel the most sense of love and normalcy.

Being from Maine, I know a ton of spacious, safe areas to get your dog all the physical exercise they need. Parks, the beach, and walking trails are just some of the places I love to go.

I’m pawsitvely wild about animals

Elise was wonderful. There were a few bumps in the road the first day (on my side) she handled calmly and effortless. I came home to a very happy dog (she is a rescue and not happy being left alone so when she was not anxious when I got back that is a plus) and my house was spotless.

It was our dog’s first stay with Elise and we will definitely be rebooking if we can! The house was well looked after and everything went so smoothly.

Elise was super flexible with our last minute drop in request! Always communicates well and can trust that our pups are in good hands

Elise did a great job caring for our shy, anxious senior dog! Elise sent pictures and messages throughout the stay, which helped us to relax knowing that everything was okay at home. We highly recommend Elise and hope to use her again soon!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
