Loving family, detail-oriented care
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Elise and my husband is Justin. We have forever been animal lovers. My childhood best friend was our dog, Ruby, a Black Lab/German Shepherd mix. My husband grew up with two Beagles, Spotty & Bebe. As a child, I was always trying to persuade my parents to take in another pet. Throughout my life, I’ve had a variety of animals including dogs, fish, hamsters, turtles, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even stray cats we cared for in our garage. After college, I volunteered at the Humane Society where I would spend 1:1 time with the dogs, allowing them space to connect in a calm setting. As a family, we are very natural-minded and use gentle household products, so you can rest assured your dog is not being exposed to harmful chemicals while staying with us. We are currently only taking hypoallergenic breeds due to our youngest’s allergies.
Reviews
We appreciate the prompt communications, update pictures and were very happy with Elise and family. Our dog enjoyed the stay for two weeks, would use again in future
Elise and her family cared for our 10 week old pup with love, patience, and consideration. We will return to their care every time we are in need.
I've known Elise for almost 30 years, and she is one of the most caring and trustworthy individuals I've met. She will respect your directions and is incredibly reliable. Elise will treat your pet as her own and I have no doubt will show them so much love while you're away.
Elise is such a sweet and caring person! When she took care of our babies she was fun, nurturing, and responsible. She has high moral standards and expectations so you know that there won't be anything sketchy happening.

My husband, children, and I are all dog-lovers. We are home most of the time as I homeschool and my husband works from home. Our three children (ages 10, 8, & 4) are incredibly gentle and affectionate with animals.
