Pet care experience

Lifelong pet lover w/ kind energy!

Dogs have been present in my life since I was born, and I wouldn't have it any other way. As a (helicopter) dog mom myself, I’m proud to be trusted with dog sitting for many friends and family, ensuring pups are SAFE, fed, loved and enriched with good quality playtime and treats! From working at a doggy daycamp for 3+ years and volunteering at a handful of shelters, to many many walks with dogs of all ages and sizes (there is no harness I cannot figure out!), plus administering meds in the most successfully discreet ways, and offering all the love, I'm honored to show up for dogs like they're my own! Let's set up a meet & greet to make sure your pet is comfortable, above all!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Open to assisting with any special space needs for your pet in your home, such as limited rooms, any crating needs, etc. As a mom of a corgi, I’m also familiar with some pets needing special stair access or being picked up to go upstairs as needed, as well!

I wish I could give Elyse 6 stars! This was the first time leaving our dog and she went out of her way to be as sweet as possible with her. Elyse was courteous, prompt, adaptive, and overall, kind. I cannot recommend her strongly enough and will be looking for her the next time we venture out of Chicago!

I can confidently say that Elyse is an extremely trustworthy caretaker as she has looked after my cat (4 years) multiple times (both boarding and drop-ins). She is a great communicator and I can tell she deeply cares for animals. Overall, I felt very reassured that my baby was in good hands. I would 100% recommend her!

Schedule

I am fully remote, and work from home in Lincoln Park. On weekdays, I can make drop-in visits early in the morning until around 8am, over lunchtime from 12-1, and in evenings after 5pm. I spend most weekends here at home so have availability then, as well! I do have a car, too (plus a doggy car seat for small dogs up to 30lbs).

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Elyse can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know of any special or unique needs your pet may have. With my experience in giving medication to both cats and dogs, I'm 100% comfortable with assisting your pet's normal routine no matter the needs. From working in daycares with dogs like Pugs and French Bulldogs, and short-legged Basset Hounds, Dachshunds, or Corgis (like my own girl!), I'm familiar with special walk or harness/leash needs, as well.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
