Pet care experience
I thought my dog-sitting days were over when I finally adopted a dog of my own, but now I've realized that my weekend adventures with my sweet Emmy could be even more fun with another dog or two to hang out with us! I am only available on weekends beginning Friday mornings (my work-from-home day) through Sunday night. Emmy and I are a package deal so a meet and greet with our dogs will be necessary (she is amazing with all dogs, but I know some others can be pickier), and if I'll be staying at your house I will bring her with me. She is fine with cats too. A typical weekend for Emmy and I look like lots of Laurelhurst park time (I'm just a couple of blocks away so I treat that like our backyard), lots of lazy cuddles, and usually a longer outing to Forest Park, Mount Tabor, or Sellwood riverfront park. If that sounds like a good fit for your pup, we'd love to have them join us! I live alone in a dog-friendly one bedroom apartment. It's not huge, but Emmy and I have managed to figure out fetch, and when it's warm she likes to sit out on my balcony and watch the squirrels. Since we don't have a yard, we go on 4-5 walks a day, at least one of which to the park for some off leash time. A little background about me: I actually grew up as a cat person, but what started as a way to make a little money in high school watching dogs turned into a deep love for them (cats are still cool too). I recently moved from upstate NY, where I dog-sat for 7 years through college and my first job. I work full time for a local nonprofit. I'm excited to get back into dog sitting and help Emmy make some friends!
Reviews
Elise took excellent care of my dog, cat, AND house while I was away for a week+. She was very responsive and provided updates during her stay which was really nice. She also stopped by before her stay for a meet and greet to get to know us and our pets. Aside from providing such great care and attention for our pets, Elise also took care of our plants, mail, and other home items (through a few surprise snow storms, no less). I highly recommend Elise!
Elise came for a meet and greet. My reluctant dog warmed up to her within 10 seconds. She took good care of my dogs and house. She kept in touch while we were away. Would recommend
Elise is reliable, responsible, and great with my dogs and cats. She stays at my house while I'm out of town. At first I was unsure if I would be comfortable with that, but gave it a try because I really wanted my animals to have as little disruption as possible by my travel. But after a couple times, I love it! And my dogs love it! This time I was gone for almost 2 weeks and it was great to know my babies were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!
Very easy to reach and took great care of the house and our dog!
