Elise is great with dogs!! When she lived in Connecticut, she used to take care of my dog Homer all of the time. He LOVES her!! And he usually isn't great with people but even now when she comes back to visit he's always so excited to see her! Elise is incredibly responsible and very structured. She had a dog growing up, Ginny, and they would go to obedience school every weekend when Elise first got her and let me tell you I have never seen a better behaved dog in my life. Elise trained Ginny so well, she didn't bark, didn't jump on people, and didn't sit on furniture or rugs that she wasn't supposed to. Elise will be an absolutely amazing person to take care of your pup!!
