I'm home full-time now, so pet care fits naturally into every part of my day. Mornings start with a walk to the dog park or nearby trails, and I'm around for potty breaks, play, and company throughout the afternoon and evening. I keep bookings to 2-3 dogs at a time so every pet gets real, individual attention instead of being lost in a crowd.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is quiet, non-smoking, and dog-friendly from day one, with pets welcome on the bed and furniture. I take medication schedules, special diets, and anxiety triggers seriously, and I always ask clarifying questions upfront so nothing is left to guess. You'll get regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, and I do especially well with timid, senior, or medically-needy pets who just need patience.

Information Elisel B. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about any special needs ahead of time, including medications, diet restrictions, anxiety triggers, or mobility issues. I've cared for dogs on strict medication schedules and older dogs with health limitations, and I'd rather have too much information than too little, so clear care instructions mean I can handle almost anything with confidence.

A typical day

We usually start with a walk to the dog park or the nature trails right by my apartment, followed by plenty of sniffing, playtime, and fresh air. The rest of the day is relaxed hangout time with treats and scritches, and evenings wind down with a calm movie night together on the couch.

14 yrs, full-time, anxious dog care

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs and cats for 14 years, and that's grown into a real specialty: senior dogs, special diets, anxiety, and daily medication routines. In recent years I've worked with several older pups and dogs with more complex care needs, and I genuinely love that kind of trust; the dogs who need a little extra patience are usually the ones who end up loving me the most. I've also cared for chinchillas and frogs along the way, so no pet is too unusual for me to say yes to. Every dog gets treated exactly like family, because to me, they are.

Ellie was such a lifesaver and was so great with Rhett. She kept him safe and happy and made sure to keep me updated! My dog is a bit anxious and usually takes time to recover from new situations, but he must have been pretty comfortable happy and relaxed with her because he slipped right back into routine with no fuss! Highly recommend for a smooth experience for you and your pet.

We appreciate Elisel so much! She was very understanding when we had to change our pick up date last minute and provided great updates throughout Murphy's stay.
