Certified Fluff Magnet

Pet care experience

~ATTENTION~ Please check my calendar for my availability. If I am shown as unavailable please do not request a reservation but feel free to contact me in a message to discuss dates. ~ Cheers! Why I love dog sitting I have been working with animals for as long as I could walk, through pets of my own, pets of neighbors and friends, volunteer work, college animal care courses, and kennel experience. I have an A.S. In Veterinary Science with a focus on Animal Care. This includes dog training, animal nutrition, pet grooming, animal behavior, and animal health skills such as first aid and CPR. I have three levels of certification from The Paragon School of Pet Grooming and four years of grooming experience. I have worked at two kennels with grooming, daycare and boarding.

First let's be clear on one point. I boarded a cat with Elise B., not a dog. When I showed up at her residence she was not there even though I arrived within the time frame I had stated I would arrive by. I had to wait 10 - 15 minutes for her to show up. I provided all the food my cat would need for the duration but Elise seemed surprised that I did not also provide a litter box and cat litter as well. Surely for $30 a day there should be some things which she provides. My cat was essentially provided the run on her furnished, upstairs, attic space. Which was more area then the cat would have in a kennel. My cat, according to Elise's own description, was scared and leery for the first day or so but warmed up after that time period and became friendlier for the rest of her stay. While I have no indications that my cat was mistreated in anyway it should be noted that Elise has two toddlers in the house and the house as a whole, including the space where my cat was kept, was extremely messy with multiple items scattered all over the place. When I went to pick up the cat Elise was there precisely at the earliest time I had committed to arriving at and I retrieved my cat with no problems. The cat appeared to be in good health and did not appear to have been adversely affected in any way by his stay. Yet somehow Elise's whole attitude and approach to keeping my cat seemed to be too casual and simply failed to put me at ease about the whole situation. I would have to think twice about it before leaving my cat with her again.

Absolutely wonderful and very conveniently located! Received pics everyday and after drop off she sent a pic of the set up she made for our kitten. I could tell she was happy, comfortable and most of all loved! Will happily use Elise again if available next time we travel. Thanks Elise!!! :)

Elise was fantastic! She took care of our three kitties while we were out of town and even watered our tomato plants for us while we are away...I will definitely use her pet sitting services for future endeavors!! We came home to three happy and healthy kitties! Thank you Elise for taking such good care of them for us!!

Very calm environment for my sensitive 12 year old dog. Elise makes an effort to ease anxiety through walks and activity in her back yard.
