Pet care experience
I'm a pet lover and professional pet sitter. I have one dog named Charlie who is a 15 years old Lhasa Apso who my family adopted after his owners could no longer take care of him. I know all pets have their special needs and preferences and would love to get to know you and your pet. I'm a graduate student but I'm on summer break, so I have a lot of availability. I have a flexible remote job currently so I can leave at any time to care for pets. I make sure that your pet is comfortable and make sure that I am giving your pet the amount of attention that he/she wants. I check on the water and food levels twice daily and talk with the owners to understand what the pet's daily needs are.
Reviews
We were so happy to have Elise stay over and take care of our cat, fish and birds! Loved the video she sent and the daily updates!
Elise watched our Molly for just under a week and we were so happy we found such an amazing sitter. She asked all the right questions at our meet and greet and was very professional and on time. We loved that Elise took Molly out to play fetch to help get some energy out of her. We appreciated the picture and video updates from her and was that she was flexible when we needed to make last minute changes to our schedule. It was really nice having someone take care of Molly at our house so she can easily stick to her normal routine.
Elise was amazing! She was on time and very responsive to messages. I have a senior shih-tzu and an adult but very shy poodle-mixed who does not take kindly to strangers at all but Elise was gentle and friendly which put my dogs at ease. This is very important to me. I definitely will use Elise’s service again and highly recommend Elise to help with your furry babies while you’re out.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always ask the owners what their pet is used to in terms of meal time, exercise, sleep, and medication so that I can keep them on the same schedule that they have during their daily lives.
Information Elise & Brendan U. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know if the dog is at risk for running away, if they ever have accidents inside the house due to a new person in the house, and if they are friendly with people and other dogs.
A typical day
I like to go on walks where the animals are familiar with their surroundings. I often ask pet parents if they have a preferred route or safe place they take their dogs for walks.
