Pet care experience

24/7 Doggy Daycare or Walker

I have owned dogs nearly my entire life. I have at least 22 years of experience raising and caring for dogs of all kinds. I have personally owned golden retrievers, a terrier mix, and a pit bull rescue in the past. I do not currently own my own dog due to my current move to Austin, but I frequently dog sit for my friends and family. I am an avid dog lover and have experience training puppies, administering medication, and attending to strict dog scheduling needs. I am currently in between jobs and will be available 24/7 during the week and on weekends until the beginning of October. At that time I will still be available, but my schedule will be more limited. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with my boyfriend who is also an avid dog lover and has owned dogs his entire life. We live in downtown Austin, but we live directly across the street from a 7 mile hiking trail, and about a block away from a large dog park. Daily walks, runs, and playing in the dog park will all be routine in your dog’s care.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 08, 2019

Elyse was great!! Really appreciate her watching my pup in her home while I was at work. She was communicative, caring, and easy to coordinate with.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 16, 2019

Elyse did an amazing job taking care of Chief! Took him on walks and gave him all the attention he needed. Even sent a video and pics throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. Definitely recommend!

Elyse was super helpful after the other Rover I had booked ended up not being able to take care of my dog and all this happened while I was on the other side of the country. She took him last minute and took super good care of him. The pup returned quite happy from his stay and she and her boyfriend are the nicest people ever. I'll definitely always leave my pup with her whenever I use Rover!

Elyse LOVES dogs, and all animals! She is extremely responsible and cares for any pet in her care as though it were her own pet. Elyse can be counted on to play and walk your dog whenever she’s needed. Your dog will be in the very best possible hands whenever Elyse is around,

Elyse grew up with 2 golden retrievers. She has had a dog since she was 7. She loves dogs, has fed, walked and played with them for most of her life. She has a big heart and will be an asset for anyone hoping to find that someone who will love and take care of their precious family member. I would not hesitate to have her watch my dog as well as others. She is flexible, reliable and easy to contact.

Elyse is the best! Our dog always runs to door when she arrives. Elyse loves to play and walk with him. They are quite the pair together. She has helped us take care of our dog for many years and we always can count on her to help in a time of need! Whenever we need help, we call Elyse.

I do not have any breed preferences, but I would prefer to do a meet and greet prior to any dog sitting. Although it is not necessary, I would be more comfortable knowing that the owner, dog, and myself are comfortable with the arrangement.
