10 years experience in professional animal care
Pet care experience
I’ve worked in the animal care business on and off for 10 years, working with dogs and cats of all varieties. On a personal level, I’ve grown up with larger dog breeds, such as German Shepherds and Dobermans. I’m professional and capable and will ensure that your pet is walked / cared for properly. I was taught the importance of doing this job correctly from a young age, and I cannot stand seeing dog walkers bundle multiple dogs into a van or sitters staying for all of 10 minutes to cut corners and make more money. I enjoy exercising regardless and so dog walking seems like the obvious answer!
Reviews
Thank you for being massive help in looking after Poppy! This was my first time using Rover and leaving her for an extended period of time so was a bit nervous. You were an absolute star in giving regular updates and photos, and responded quickly to my messages. I am also so grateful that you were happy to look pop over for a pre-visit, just to see the cat and talk through things face to face, really helped put my mind at ease. I will definitely get in touch if Poppy ever needs looking after again! 🧡
We've been trying to find someone to take care of our elderly and disabled staffy and cat for a while and obviously as anxious pet parents we wanted to get the right person. Elise did such a great job of looking after them both while we were away for a week - a long time to be away from my babies! But she sent daily updates and was always quick to reply. There was also a heatwave while we were away which was worrying because Kai is an old boy but she did such a great job of looking after him I felt he was in very good hands! He also has a medication schedule that needs to be followed which wasn't an issue for Elise at all! Will absolutely be booking her for any future trips!
Elise was an absolute dream looking after Willow and was so respectful of our home. Will definitely be asking Elise if she can house sit for us again!
Loved Elise’s caring nature and can tell her and our dog Dusty had a great time together! ?
About Elise L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As for caring for pets in your own home, I can suit whatever needs your pet has, especially for those needing more company than kennels/cattery or a brief visit can provide.
Information Elise L. would like to know about your pet
I would appreciate knowing in advance how they are with other dogs, other people in public and if they will need some time to get comfortable with me. This way I know how to ready my approach to the dog to make them as content as possible.
A typical day
Not all dogs require the exact same style of walking. Some may be older, and need more mental stimulation than a full 30 mins/hour of walking. This could include playing games or taking a slow walk to enjoy being out whilst being mindful of their physical capabilities. For more energetic/younger dogs, taking them on longer distance walks to new locations is always sure to burn some energy from both the walking itself and the exciting new location!

I work 8-4 on weekdays, so if this isn’t something you’d be happy with then unfortunately I won’t be the sitter for you! However, if your pets are used to you being out at these sorts of times, then of course I can do both! Weekends are different, and if they’re free in my calendar then I’m not working.
