I work from home so I can fit in visits at all different times of the day. I have recently enabled housesitting as a day only option. I can not sleep at your house but am happy to keep pets company during the day for extended periods of time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets sometime soon.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not currently caring for pets in my home, but am happy to come to yours for walks, play time and attention while you need to be away. I am flexible based on your needs and the set up in your home. Long walks, games of fetch in the back yard, tummy rubs... every pet and family has their own personality and I am happy to work with all of them!

Information Elise M. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if a dog is ok meeting other dogs out on walks or if I should steer clear. Some are more friendly than others and I want a relaxing, fun outing for your pet!

A typical day

I typically just love a neighborhood walk. Visits to dog parks and fetch in the backyard are fun for dogs that love that. As the weather warms up walking to the park or in the creek is also a fun treat!

Pet care experience

I can't remember a time in my life that I didn't have a pet. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, a rabbit and even a Kinkajou (a honey bear). I have had dogs of my own for 20 years, usually 2 at a time. We have had puppies, rescued middle-aged dogs and our current dogs are both 9 years old. I am comfortable with large and small dogs and all types of cats and will give them the same love and attention that I give my own fur babies! n.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
