Highlights
Pet care experience
Columbia grad looking to pet sit!
(Note: Unfortunately, I cannot board or do daycare for dogs that shed!) Hello! I am Elise, a recent graduate from Columbia with a Master’s degree in Classics. I live in the UWS and I have been missing interacting with animals on a daily basis. I grew up taking care of my family dogs, Gary and Mindy (cockapoos, 15-20lbs, 12 and 11yo) since they were 8 weeks old, and I have pet-sat my friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats since I was 9. I am most familiar with dogs under 40lbs, but am happy to look after larger dogs as well. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to spend as much time with your pets as you wish, and I can spend that time as actively with your pet as they need to stay happy! I can administer eye drops and medication, and I have a lot of experience brushing dogs’ coats and teeth if your pet is accustomed to a daily/weekly brush. I can look after dogs of any age, especially if you’re looking for someone to stay for a longer period of time with a puppy for who may have higher potty training needs. I absolutely adore animals and I look forward to meeting you and your companions soon!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Elise was really communicative and went above and beyond while cat sitting for me! Thank you for all the videos and photos of our pets while we were away. :)
Elise is the best! Very responsive - was able to coordinate a last minute Labor Day weekend midday walk for two of my friends’ dogs I’m sitting over the weekend. She sent tons of photos and provided detailed and entertaining updates of the walk. Highly recommend!
Elise is so thorough and patient with our energetic little pup! Finn can be a handful and Elise was so great about following the training outlines we had in place for him, and giving him lots of love and fetch. She also kept us updated regularly. He already can't wait to see her again soon!
Elise was great! She was friendly, energetic, and attentive to all my instructions and explanations. It was a real pleasure to work with her. Would definitely hire her again.
Elise was absolutely wonderful with Frankie! She communicated so well throughout his stay and sent me lots of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Frankie was happy and well taken care of. I would definitely book with her again!
Elise did a great job watching Maple and Winston! She was very detailed oriented in caring for them and patient with Maple who is a nervous girl.

Schedule
I graduated from my Master’s program this past December and now I have a semester off before I start teaching in the fall. Currently, my schedule is wide-open, so I can devote as much time to your pet as you need! Besides what is in my calendar, I can build my schedule around you and your family’s needs. I am generally available for drop-ins and walks any day of the week at whatever time, and drop-ins can be longer (up to 6 hours) to help keep your pets company.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live a 5 minute walk away from Riverside Park and a 10 minute walk away from Central Park, so your dog can have a nice walk in a green space with plenty of stimulation. I am happy to wipe down paws and bums or brush any dog post-walk, if requested. Regarding drop-ins, I can adapt based on your pets’ needs. If they just want a quiet buddy to keep them company and give them love, or an active play partner to help get some energy out, I can help! I can either play with your pet physically with their toys, or I can do basic training and brain games with them to get them mentally stimulated. Additionally, if you need me to feed your pet, I am very familiar with elaborate doggy meals, so if you have a number of supplements or add-ins that you like to give to your pets, I’m happy to feed them with all the luxury they’re accustomed to!
