Information Elyse H. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs! My dog has allergies so I do know how to administer meds to pups. Am also used to my feral cat. Only really need to know if dog is tuggy on leash.

A typical day

Typical day is spent spoiling my dog and cat. Love taking my dog Ari for long walks and drives and petting my cat Echo. :)

Elyse is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog Coco had a wonderful time. Elyse provided lots of love and pets. She sent pictures and videos of their activities. Thank you!!

Elyse showed up right on time, was very professional, and quickly had my two dogs feeling comfortable around her.

Elyse did a great job caring for our very young, 1-year old lab. It was the first time the pup was left alone and she was a nervous wreck. Elyse walked her, played with her, and calmed her with loving care. Can’t thank Elyse enough !

Elyse was simply fantastic! Nalla is approaching her seventeenth lap around the sun, and although she's slowing down a bit she still has a strong heart and a strong desire to be near caring, loving people (when not napping). Nalla took an instant liking to Elyse and enjoyed being with her. I was on business trip out of the state and Elyse ensured I remain connected and informed from the moment I left until the moment I returned. I give her my strongest personal recommendation, and look forward to having her take care of Nalla again in the future!
