Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize caring for pets exactly how their owners prefer. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication, and any special needs to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment, and I’m happy to accommodate their usual routines as much as possible. My apartment also features designated dog play areas that are available for use, giving dogs plenty of space to exercise and socialize. Whether in your home or mine, my goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.
Information Ellise G. would like to know about your pet
A few things that would be helpful to know about your pet to ensure safety and overall enjoyment in our sessions together would be the following: friendliness to other dogs, friendliness to unknown people, noteworthy medical history, behaviors that I should be aware of while off leash, and any additional information about your pup that you feel are essential to be aware of for safety and high quality care.
A typical day
I love engaging with your pets in multiple ways, playing games, walking/running and exploring parks around the city. I enjoy long walks by the lake and if your pet is high energy going on runs together!

Because your dog deserves the best
Pet care experience
I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs my entire life. Growing up with a dog at home since birth taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and consistency in pet care. Beyond that, I had the incredible experience of assisting in raising a guide dog, which deepened my understanding of training, responsibility, and the unique bond between humans and dogs. These experiences have given me both the skills and the heart to provide exceptional care and create a safe, loving environment for any dog.

Always happy always great with my dogs...TY!


Elise did a great job taking care of the dogs! She was attentive and caring

Birdie had a great walk with Ellise! She was able to help out on very short notice, which I really appreciated. It was clear Birdie was happy and worn out when she got home! I’d absolutely book with Ellise again!
Ellise is an amazing pet sitter. She took excellent care of our dog, cat and even rabbit. She is extremely reliable, provides daily photos and is easy to communicate with. She followed all care instructions perfectly and was thoughtful to our maintain our animals' routines. All of our animals love her and we felt completely comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care!
