I am a full-time student at the University of Kansas, but my class schedule leaves me with lots of time before and after classes. With my part-time/full-time job at the doggy day care, I still have plenty of time for your fur babies, I just may need to readjust watching hours!

Safety, trust & environment

I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs and schedule. I want to ensure that they are comfortable and happy while being watched! I also would love to keep them as close to their schedule as possible, I know it can be difficult for some dogs to adapt to change, but I want to help make their lives as stress-free as possible

Information Elyea S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, or extra physical care needed ahead of time! I know how important it is for dogs to get their rest and stay healthy.

A typical day

I love going on walks, jogs, or even chilling at home! Whatever your dog likes to do, I like to do. I am used to all different types of dog energy levels and play styles and can either be a play friend, or simply a pillow for their nap time.

Experienced, Loving & Reliable Care

Pet care experience

I have been walking and watching dogs and other animals for many years! Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. Due to my love of dogs, I decided to get a job at a doggy daycare two years ago. Working there has been the best job experience of my life. It has made me grow a deeper appreciation to each kind of dog, personality and temperament. I was quickly promoted to a shift lead at the daycare due to my hard work and deep care of the dogs. I ensure that each dog is taken great care of and loved while away from home. I am able to easily recognize canine language and adapt to their needs. Additionally, about two years ago, my family decided to adopt a puppy, Beau. I spent the beginning months of his life training and taking care of him before moving away from home. It was a difficult, but rewarding task that I can’t wait to experience again with my own dog. While I am a major dog lover through and through, I also have a deep appreciation for cats. I have two 1.5 year old cats that have such funky personalities and are different in their own ways. I love them with all my heart! In all, I absolutely love animals and would love to take care of your fur babies while you’re away! Due to living in a college home, I cannot own my own dog yet. Even when I am not working with dogs, or at home with my own cats, I enjoying walking and taking care of others’ animals!

Elyea is awesome and always takes such great care of our cats, as well as helping out with other things like bringing in packages and easing my mind about possible hail damage to our house. Would absolutely rebook, highly recommended!

We had Elyea come by everyday for two weeks to hang out with our three dogs and let them out for a mid-day potty break while we were out of town (with fam staying at the house in between work). She really connected with the dogs (who aren't the easiest, truth be told) and we looked forward to getting her reports and photos everyday. Was a big weight off knowing our babies were being well taken care of.

Elyea always takes such good care of our kitties! We are happy to book with her and know our cats are in good hands while we’re away.
