Highlights
Pet care experience
experienced & grounded sitter
🐾 About Me Hi, I’m Elise, I’m an experienced sitter with a calm, grounded presence that dogs naturally respond to. Over the years, I’ve cared for all types of dogs — from playful puppies to seniors who need gentle routines, and reactive dogs who need patience and understanding. Alongside pet care, I also practice sound healing, which I’ve found can really help calm elderly or anxious dogs during overnight stays or downtime. It’s never forced — just soft tones or bowls that create a peaceful environment if your pet is sensitive to energy or sound. My focus is always on safety, consistency, and communication. I keep pet parents updated with photos and check-ins, and I make sure each dog’s daily routine — feeding, walks, play, and rest — is respected exactly as you’d do it. I offer overnight house-sitting, drop-in visits, and walks around the East Bay area. Pets tend to feel at ease with me quickly, and I make sure your home stays tidy, cozy, and secure while you’re away. ✨ What Makes My Care Different • Experience with small, large, senior, and reactive breeds • Reliable communication + photo updates • Calm and structured environment (great for nervous dogs) • Gentle, sound-based relaxation for recovery or stress • Respect for your home and your pet’s comfort Gen Z quality check-in photos/videos! Lol!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every home and pet with full respect. I keep doors locked, spaces tidy, and follow each owner’s routine exactly. I communicate through daily updates and photos so you always know how things are going. I also use calm sound healing tones that many elderly or reactive dogs find soothing.
Ratings and reviews
We always trust Elise with our dog Toby! He is a chihuahua who barks at everyone in our life (even my father in law who comes over for dinner every week!) - but he never barks at Elise! He bounds up to her awaiting her affection.
Elise was great with our senior pitbull! He's normally easy, but while we were gone he had some accidents and tummy troubles. Elise updated us but dealt with it all professionally. She was very communicative, with good pictures, and she took the surprises in stride. She even took our guy out on a two-hour walk (he loves his walks, despite being older), which I really appreciated. We came back to a clean house and a happy, healthy dog. We will definitely book her again, once he forgives us for leaving this time, lol.
Elise took amazing care of our senior dog! She communicated updates often and gave ua peace of mind that Lolly was in wonderful loving hands! Thank you so much!
Like always, Elise takes great car of my dog and my home. Thanks Elise.
Second time having Elise at my home with my two pups and she was great with them again. I came home to happy tails. Recommend and would hire again. Thanks Elise!
Thank you so much for being flexible this week!!

Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my week. I usually work flexible hours, so i’m able to provide walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays without rushing. I plan my days around the pets once I’m caring for so they get consistent attention and calm energy.
