Will spoil pups and super seniors!
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs for neighbors friends and family since I was 13, but my real experience came when I adopted my own 8 year old Aussie in 2013 named Pepper. She introduced me to many dog parents at the dog parks and we built a network of looking after each others dogs during vacations, workdays, etc. I walked, house-sat, and boarded dogs of all breeds, behaviors, and ages. Pepper had arthritis and severe incontinence by the time she was 14, and I grew accustomed to cleaning the carpet, changing diapers, and administering medicine as a result. My heart absolutely melts for senior dogs and I love to spoil them and make their days wonderful however I can! I now have a 3 year old dog, Dusty, who keeps me active with walks, hikes, and trips to the dog park. He loves to get in the mud, so we have a nice setup for baths in case your baby gets dirty too!
Reviews
Elyse was great, she sent a bunch of photos and kept us updated throughout the stay. She took great care of our dogs.
Elyse took amazing care of Rusty, and I was so grateful for her communication and flexibility and care!
Finley had a great stay with Elyse! It was clear how much love & attention he received while we were away. Plus, we appreciated all the updates to give us some peace of mind!
I’m so glad to have found Elyse! She cared for our older dog and new puppy (first Rover for our newer pup) and it was a great experience. She sent regular updates and photos/videos and her dog Dusty seemed to do great with my little guys too (despite being so much bigger, lol - he was great). I’m excited to have found someone close to home and wouldn’t hesitate to send our guys there again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced yard and one pup to keep your fur baby company. My dog, Dusty, loves to play, but he has an off button and knows when to leave our fur friends alone. I have a dog gate and two crates that can be setup easily if necessary (for your dog and/or Dusty).
Home
Information Elyse E. would like to know about your pet
What special needs or accommodations can I prepare for or tend to? How is your dog with other dogs? Does your dog jump fences? Do they chew furniture (if so - I’ll pull out the sour apple spray!) Are they allowed on the furniture in your home? Eating schedule? Any aggressions or fears to be aware of? For older pups who may have arthritis or challenges walking the distance, I can push them around the neighborhood in a nice large buggy so they can still get fresh air and an outing. Would this be preferable for your older or recovering fur baby?
A typical day
I will spoil your dogs with walks, fetch, cuddles, and tug of war. We will walk all over my neighborhood and the open space trails across the street. Breakfast, walk, and cuddles in the morning before working at the computer. Potty break in the yard every 2 hours, lunchtime walk, midday potty break in the yard, and long walk, fetch, dinner, and snuggles before bed.

Availability
I work from home and will have plenty of time to take your dog on walks, trails, or just sit outside in the yard if the weather is nice and toss the ball. My yard is small, but I can easily let them out whenever necessary.
