Must Love Dogs!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old! I grew up with dogs of all kinds and sizes in my household and absolutely adore all dogs! Although I do not have a dog of my own at the moment, I dog sit and walk for many friends, family members, and coworkers. I helped train and care for my roommates puppy last year and still help with her when needed! I have always been a dog person and absolutely love walking dogs! I have a very welcoming, calm, and upbeat personality that is very well received by all dogs. In the future, I would absolutely love to work with dogs and possible become a dog walker part-time. I recently started a new job that created more flexibility in my schedule and I know that this is the perfect time to begin my dog walking career!
Reviews
Our dog warmed up to Elise very quickly! He doesn’t always eat when new people watch him, but we were happily surprised he was comfortable enough to eat around her! She was very punctual and responded quickly to messages. We appreciated the updates she sent us while dropping in on our dog. We would definitely book with Elise again if we need to!
Elise is a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. She has helped my family for years with our dogs, cat, and fish whenever we go out of town. I first met Elise when she was in grad school and she came to work as a graduate assistant in my department, so I can really attest to her work ethic. Not only does she love pets (my dogs absolutely love her), but you can feel totally safe with Elise being at your home and you don't have to worry about a thing. She is just really fantastic, dependable, and will give your furry friends all the love they need while you are gone. My house is always exactly how I left it.
Elise is so wonderful! She is responsive and caring. She always follows through and goes above and beyond when watching our pets. She has helped us with our two cats and our dog and has always done a fantastic job. I don't trust many people with our pets, but Elise is the best and it is easy to leave our pets in her care. I whole heartedly recommend her to watch, sit, or care for any animal.
Elise is extremely responsible, reliable and is a great communicator. She is warm and friendly and truly cares about animals and their well being. I totally trust her to come into my home and care for my pets. She has always treated my pets like they were her own, and they are very calm and comfortable with her. I highly recommend Elise to walk/ care for your pets!
About Elise J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I dog sit, I normally stay over at the owners household. This is usually better for the pups, since they are comfortable in their own home and know their surroundings. Prior to a new dog walking gig, I would love to meet the owner and the pup first to establish a relationship with you and your pup! This will help me build trust with you as the owner, but also with your pup and become familiar with them before our first walk!
Information Elise J. would like to know about your pet
It would be very helpful to know where all of the dogs things are (leash, poop bags, harness, treats, water bowl, etc.). Another thing would be if your pet has any quirks that I should be aware of. Otherwise, I'd love to meet the pup before our first walk to establish a relationship with you as the owner and your pup!
A typical day
I would love to play with your dogs and brighten their day! We would take walks around to get some nice fresh air and sunshine! One of my favorite things would be walking by the lakeside! Some of my favorite walking paths to take pups are through Lakeshore State Park and South Shore Park!

Availability
I began a new job recently, which has given me much more flexibility in my schedule. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and would be available Tuesday-Thursday after 4:00pm to help with local pups! I am also very flexible and open for weekend dog walking opportunities!
