Must Love DOGS!!!
Pet care experience
I’ve loved animals my entire life—from a little girl with my childhood dog to an adult caring for your pet today. My husband, Ryan, and I work from home and are able to provide care for your pet 24/7. Our unique work life allows us to shower your pet with our undivided love and attention for the duration of their stay. We have a spacious home where your pet is allowed to roam about, make themselves comfortable on the couch, and sleep (and hopefully cuddle) with us in our big king bed (always room for a fur baby). We have a large private yard (not fenced) and sidewalk with walking trails right out our front door, so getting out and getting some exercise is very easy and convenient! We have a 6-year-old child that is so gentle, affectionate, and loving towards all animals (he takes after his Mama) that your pet will feel as close to “right at home” as possible! My love for animals started when I was just a little girl. I vividly remember sitting at the kitchen table with the Sunday newspaper circling “dog for sale” ads with a highlighter week after week, begging my parents to please let me get a dog. Finally, at the age of 12, I adopted my first dog, Max. I cared for him until he passed away in 2009. Shortly after that, my now husband and I rescued Zoe. She was our sweet baby girl that we loved and cherished for almost 16 years. In Zoe’s elder years, she required a lot of special care and attention as she went fully blind and deaf, required oral medications, and had anxiety issues. Since Zoe’s passing in 2021, I’ve longed for cuddles, kisses, wags, and pets! I would be thrilled and honored to provide care for your animal when you can’t be there!
Reviews
Elyse and her family took great care of Rye when we needed last minute help during a move! We got plenty of cute pictures and updates. Thank you Elyse!!
Elyse and her husband took great care of Prince! They kept us updated and I could tell he was well loved. Would definitely book again in the future!
We've never been away from Lucky (or him from us) for 10 days before... We knew we didn't want to kennel him for that long. We were excited when a friend recommended Elyse and goodness did she exceed our expectations! Lucky was treated like family and the updates and pics were great! ♥️ Would highly recommend for anyone wanting peace of mind!
Although we had to cut her stay short, Millie had a great time and did not want to leave.

Information Elyse C. would like to know about your pet
When learning more about your dog, it’s important to know your dog’s preferred routine: when does he/she like to wake up, eat, go outside, take a walk, and play? With our flexible work schedules, we’re more than happy to accommodate your pet and make them feel at home!
A typical day
We are fortunate to live in a neighborhood lined with walking paths. The walking path goes through our front yard, runs throughout the neighborhood, and ultimately connects to several parks in the community. We plan to walk your dog at least once a day (but usually several times a day) and will have fun playing both indoors and outdoors!
