I rarely go away but needed to board my 2 dogs for 5 days. Elise's profile resonated with me because she's clearly an active person who would walk the dogs and has a home with a fenced yard. When Elise asked for our first meeting to be at her local dog park, that made it a perfect match. I also take my dogs to dog parks so I knew she was someone who made a dogs life interesting and fun! Elise's home is warm, inviting and comfortable. My dogs and I were immediately relaxed. She even allowed dogs on the furniture and one of my dogs to sleep on her bed with her! My 13 yr. old dog is very sensitive and never leaves my side. He also has cancer. My last look towards the door before I drove away, I saw his tail wagging. I couldn't believe he wasn't stressed out. It was so wonderful to go away without a worry. I highly recommend Elise. She exceeded all expectations caring for my dogs plus she's a super nice person.

Elise has taken excellent care of my dog. When I've traveled, I can trust Elise to do more than just the basics of feeding and exercise--she dotes on Bede just like was was her own dog. When I return from my trips it is clear that Bede has bonded with Elise, and is safe and at ease in her care. I'd highly recommend Elise to any dog owners/parents who need a trustworthy and caring dogsitter.
