Pet care experience
Your best friend deserves the best care! I am an active young adult full of energy, love, and care. I love walking, running, and hiking with dogs of any size. I am also a snuggler, and will curl up with a blanket and a furry friend for some head scratches and a good movie. Every dog has their own personality, likes and dislikes, and mannerisms, and I strive to discover those and cater to them as quickly as possible. I live in a top floor duplex in Northeast, Minneapolis with my partner. I grew up caring for my family dog, Loki, who was a miniature schnauzer. His special diet, allergies, illnesses, and medications helped me become well versed in how to cater to individual dog's needs. I have done many overnight house stays (short and extended) as well as dog walks for friends and clients alike, all with a focus on creating the best possible environment for the dog. I pride myself on upholding your training protocols in order to set your fur baby up for success while you aren't with them. I will always ask about the rules and boundaries you hold with your pet, so that I can positively enforce the same ones and avoid any confusion. I would love to talk to you more about your furry friend and take care of them when you are not able to!
Reviews
We’ve had Elise dog and house sit our beloved lab several times! She’s very loving and attentive to our dog! We really appreciate the ability to travel and feel confident that our dog is being lovingly cared for! She has the energy to be playful with the dog, while taking care of our home! We would highly recommend her!
Elise has been a great pet friend to my fur baby. My dog doesn’t always trust people and has some trauma we’re working through. Elise has always been very patient and understanding with her. Elise will love your pet almost as mush as you do! She’s a good playmate and pet friend.
Elise is great with our two Samoyeds! Energetic with playtime, compassionate, and disciplined when needed. She takes genuine care and interest in our dogs well-being and safety. Elise is a go to dog-sitter for us!
Elise was flexible with my timing to watch the pups and she went above and beyond to make sure she knew them before they came over!! I got updates throughout the day (which I love) and I saw she really took care of my boys with walks, playtime, and even helping when my Murph rolled around in goose poop! Thank you Elise!!

Safety, trust & environment
When walking your dog, especially for the first time, I will always be their #1 advocate. I create space when passing by other people and animals when I am unsure how a dog will react to them, so that they do not become stressed or nervous. When I have to leave the house while house sitting, I prefer to use a crate when your dog is crate trained so that I know they are safe and secure while I am away (but I am flexible to your routine and your dog's needs). I do my best to follow your normal routine surrounding feeding, outside time, and activities so that there is consistency in your dog's day.

Information Elise B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know what level of training you have done with your dog. I am not a judgemental person, but I do need to know what to expect in terms of your dog's ability to listen, respond to commands, potty training, and behavioral needs so that I can take the best care of them possible. Please let me know any frequently used commands beyond common ones (sit, stay, wait, lie down, come) that I need to be aware of, or lack thereof. Beyond this; and especially for overnight stays; I’d like to know the dogs age, the owner’s house rules and how they would like them to be implemented, and any allergies or specific needs the dog has. Some of my local parks need to be driven to, so please let me know if your dog is okay riding in a car without fear or illness. I will take any breed of dog!
A typical day
We will go on walks around the neighborhood, play games like fetch and tug of war, snuggle up on the couch or floor depending on the dogs energy and owner’s rules. I love running around with dogs and going on adventures with them to parks and just around town, as well as giving them lots of pats and love. Most of my day will revolve around your pup, and I will always send you photos for updates along the way!

I am currently in search of a new full time job after a company layoff, so I have plenty of time to pamper your pup! I create a routine that fits the needs of each pet, to ensure their care is consistent even when their owners are gone. I am quite busy on the weekends with a part time job, but have a lot of flexibility to accommodate overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks.
