My love for people and animals.

Pet care experience

I always loved and enjoyed animals! In 1996 I started working at a veterinary hospital in Northern Virginia. From there I took over a pet sitting business in the Northern Virginia area full time in 1999. The pet sitting business grew and I was sole-proprietor for 16 years. I enjoyed the dogs, and cats, that I had taken care of over those 16 years. Also, I enjoyed their owners! This business provided mid-day walks and care for my clients' dogs and cats as they traveled either by staying at their homes or doing house visits. In working at the animal hospital I learned to discern any health issues with dogs and cats. I also learned how to administer medication, insulin injections for diabetic dogs and cats, and, administering subcutaneous fluids. With running a small pet sitting business, I not only had the responsibility of caring for my clients' dogs and cats, but, also for their homes in handling any emergencies that may arise. In March of this year I moved down to the Virginia Beach area to be near my brother and his wife. I do miss the dogs and cats I cared for and their owners!

I can rest easy when I have to travel that Elise is with my dogs in my home. I'm very thankful.

WE LOVE ELISE!!!! She walked two of our dogs over a 20 year period. She is reliable, conscientious, and honest. She is wonderful with dogs. She truly loves animals. She also helped with our guinea pig and cat. She is absolutely great!!!! We thought ourselves lucky that she helped us. I recommend her highly!

Elise is a dog lover plain and simple. She walked my black lab for six years, and my dog loved her. He would literally wait by the door for her to show up. Any time my dog(Mikey) seemed to act sick, eat something he shouldn't have , or just act a little off she always called me immediately. She extremely trust worthy, she had access to my house 24/7 and I never once felt unawkard about it. When I would Go out of town for a night Elise would come and walk and feed my dog. I never once worried. Elise is very kind, responsible, diligent and most importantly very reliable and trustworthy. I one hundred and ten percent recommend her

I am pleased to highly recommend Elise as a dog sitter. She was a dog walker for us (in McLean VA) for about 20 years, inclusive of two Great Danes. She was also an occasional house sitter and she took care of our cat as well. If our pets could speak English, they would confirm that she is kind, gentle, and easy to get along with. We comfortably and confidently trusted the lives of our pets with Elise. She gets the highest of marks in all aspects ... except for moving out of our area. :-)
