Pet care experience
I have taken care of family's dogs since childhood (pictured), my neighbors' and friends' pets for years, and have been fostering with local shelters for three years - walking, feeding, bathing, grooming, you name it! Their humans will often say, "Wow, s/he really seems to like you!" and let me tell you, there is no greater rush that I can experience. I can follow as precise instructions as you would like to give, and I have lots of experience with pets in all levels of training, so if there is anything I can do to keep their behavior consistent please let me know and I will accommodate! I have experience with shy and anxious dogs as well, so if that sounds like your pup we can make arrangements accordingly. I am currently working part-time as a bartender. My preferred gym membership is long walks outdoors! If your pup is down for hikes, do let me know as well. Crating will be accommodated if provided. If we're boarding at your place, awesome! I will treat your space with upmost respect, and reinforce/redirect behaviors as instructed so that their behavior remain as consistent as when you're there.
Reviews
Elise was wonderful with our pets! She sent lots of pictures, kept us updated as needed. We have a little bit of a tricky dog and she was great with him! Definitely recommend Elise :)
Elise is really great! She took great care of our pup and our home as well. Great communication and plenty of photos!
Elise was an awesome sitter for my two large breed dogs! She sent me updates the entire weekend and was even willing to watch them during an unforeseen hurricane affecting the region. The pups miss her already- will definitely rebook.
Elise was absolutely amazing! I’ve used Rover a ton and she exceeded my expectations! She consistently updated us on the pups, sent pics, and was very accommodating with our drop off and pick up times! I could tell that Saks and Saint really enjoyed their time with her! Totally recommend!!!

I have a yard that is permeable, so your pup will always be supervised and on-leash. I will be happy to crate your pet as needed with supplies provided. In your home, I am happy to follow as precise instructions as you would like to provide to ensure consistency and comfort for your pets. Please note my home currently has a roommate’s cat (mostly outdoor) and a foster dog (very timid, very good at making doggy friends but enjoys time alone in my room - if you’re boarding they can easily be kept separate).
Home
Information Elise B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how I can best accommodate the special needs of your dog, including crating/feeding/exercise schedules, medications, allergies, behavioral reinforcement and redirection, forbidden behaviors, special treats/dietary considerations, and favorite scratch spots!
A typical day
I love to give dogs in my care the stimulation and love they may crave when left in kennel boarding. We will explore the smells of my neighborhood and more, depending on the level of excitement best suited for them!
