Pet care experience

Energetic and loving pet sitter!

☀️SUMMER AVAILABILITY☀️: During the summer, I have FULL time availability for house sitting and drop ins as I do not work my regular job from June 3rd until August 30th! 🙂 Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile! Before requesting a booking after August 30th, 2026, please note I have a day job that I work at from 8:30am to 4:15pm Monday through Friday. Therefore, I am not able to provide potty breaks for dogs from 7:45am to 5pm. About Me: I have always had a deep love for animals, having grown up surrounded by them during my childhood and teenage years. My passion led me to work in a veterinary clinic at the age of 16, where I gained valuable hands-on experience and knowledge in caring for a variety of species. Over the years, I've taken up housesitting for friends and coworkers, which allowed me to expand my skill set further. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a diverse range of pets, including dogs, birds, rabbits, and cats. My experience isn’t limited to just one type of animal; I have developed a well-rounded understanding of different pets and their unique needs. I offer services including house sitting, drop-ins, dog walking, and even wedding chaperoning ($50/hour) for your pet! Additionally, I am available for drop-in visits for smaller pets such as rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and more. Rabbits hold a special place in my heart; I currently have one myself and am very knowledgeable about their care. I understand their behavior deeply and can recognize the signs of potential health issues, such as gastrointestinal stasis, which is crucial for ensuring their well-being. I welcome any inquiries you may have and would love the opportunity to provide quality care for your beloved pets. Feel free to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, Trust, and Environment I consistently strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for animals by remaining highly attentive to their needs and behaviors. My commitment to integrity is reflected in my honest interactions and the trust I build with both animals and their owners. I believe that clear communication is crucial in ensuring that every animal's welfare is prioritized, so I make it a point to convey important information effectively. Additionally, I take my responsibilities seriously, ensuring that I adhere to best practices and uphold high standards in every task I undertake. Each job I do is approached with dedication to these core values, ultimately promoting the well-being of the animals in my care.

Elyse is always the best, and goes above and beyond - in this case by helping to dry the rugs I had to wash the morning I left thanks to my cat doing some cat business where he oughtn’t. She took good care of him and kept him happy while I was away.

Elyse has looked after my very demanding cat so many times, and I never worry about him at all when I know she’s keeping an eye on him. She’s totally reliable, very communicative, and so good with my very energetic fluffy guy.

Elyse looked after my giant hyperactive cat (and my place) while I was traveling over a long Christmas/New Years trip, and I came home to a happy, healthy kitty and totally clean house. He got so fluffy over the break, I know he must have gotten to go on lots of walks outside with Elyse. She is an amazing sitter, totally competent, super communicative, and bonded so well with my occasionally crazy cat, as well as being an above-and-beyond house looker-after.

Schedule

During summer ☀️: House Sitting Requests: My weeks and weekends are typically the same during the summer months as I do not work my full time job. I can provide potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours. I may come and go to run errands, etc, however, I will be staying in your house full time! I offer a complimentary 15 minute walk per day for dogs. Be sure to mention if you would like this service at your meet and greet! If your dog needs longer, please schedule a walk request in addition to the house sitting request which will be discounted. Drop In and Dog Walking Requests: I schedule my schedule around drop ins as long as I don’t have anything pre planned.
