Safety, trust & environment

I care for them as I would a child. I'm kind, careful, and alert. I understand animal behavior and what to look for, and I care. It's not lost to me how important pets are to people- they're a part of the family.

Information Elyse C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pets needs so I can be sure to accommodate them and make the most of our time together! I have some experience with reactivity as well.

A typical day

This depends on the pets wants and needs! I love playing, whether it's fetch or setting up puzzles for them. My own dog is active, so I know what it takes to meet their needs!

Pet care experience

I grew up with many animals and I love them all, from toads and mice to cats and dogs. Not much phases me when it comes to animal care. I can pick up poop and clean up pee without so much as wrinkling my nose. I have a dog at home, and have experience dealing with reactivity and other medical issues such as allergies. I'm a careful and observant person. I'm primarily joining to do drop-ins and walks, though I will take requests to board in your home as well. I work from home most of the week and want to make extra money to pay off student loans.

Elyse was wonderful! She came over before we booked to meet our pets, and they were all super comfortable with her. She sent lots of photos and detailed updates.

Elyse leaves the best updates / images and takes such great care of our cat while we’re away. Always extremely happy to have her around when we’re out of town.

Elyse is a great sitter. She is communicative, accommodating, and thorough in her care for our cats. She's a great option for anyone looking for someone to care for their furry little ones.

Very attentive! Made us feel a lot less worried leaving our old cat behind.
