Lover of pets of all types!
Pet care experience
I own and operate a farm in Lake Elmo that keeps me busy from April-October, in the off season and in my spare time I'm looking to spend more time with *your* pets! During the growing season my schedule is too busy to have pets of my own so I'm looking forward to scratching the itch that is my love for cats and dogs through rover! I grew up in a household where we constantly had pets(dogs, gerbils, a bird, hermit crabs, fish, etc.) and when our dogs would pass away due to old age we often would do pet-sitting for a wide range of animals. Throughout college I made connections with neighbors and became their regular dog and cat sitter. As an adult I've had 2 dogs, 1 puppy, 1 cat, and 1 kitten as roommates. Living with each pet offered new experiences, walks, and cuddles. I absolutely love pets! I love getting to know their personalities and being their caretaker! I have experience with dog walking(all size dogs), feeding, administering medication, cleaning up accidents, giving baths, high energy to low energy pets, puppies(3+ mo.), and more. I love to keep learning and want to make sure your pet is comfortable so don’t hesitate to ask if there are additional services that would make for a better experience for your pet!
Reviews
Elise stayed in our house with our dog Gracie for 4 nights. I left her a ton of instructions and she took them all in stride, took great care of Gracie and was very communicative while we were away. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned and Gracie was happy. I give Elise my highest recommendation and would definitely use her again in the future.
This was our second time having Elise watch our 2 pups. She is a great communicator and sends pictures regularly. The dogs like her calm presence. She's flexible in terms of ensuring each dog gets what they need, given they have different energy levels. She stayed at our home and keeps everything picked up. We'll definitely use her again in the future. Highly recommend.
Elise did a great job watching our dogs at our place while out of town. She is a great communicator, regularly sending updates and photos. You can tell she loves dogs and quickly made fast friends with our somewhat skittish terrier-mix. We highly recommend her!
Elise is kind and conscientious. She was fantastic with our (sometimes demanding )pets, she went above and beyond the call of duty as a house sitter, and I would highly recommend her!

Let me know if your pet has any interesting personality traits or needs any special accommodations. Ex: Do they interact with other dogs or people well? Do they enjoy the dog park? Are they allergic to any foods or plants?
A typical day
On a typical day, I will take your dog for one or two walks(depending on the pet), play with them, and give them tons of scratches and snuggles.
