Drop ins were done daily, but communication could have been better. Had to make sure she got my instructions and only one photo was sent, no note, so I am unsure how drop ins went.

Elyse has taken care of my two dogs on numerous occasions. She follows my instructions to the letter (and I get boujee when it comes to my fur babies lol). My dogs are always so relaxed when she is there, I get many puppy cuddle pictures while I’m away. I can always trust they’re in good hands when they’re with Elyse :)

Elyse has been around dogs and cats her whole life. She has experienced all aspects of a dogs life, from puppy to crossing the rainbow bridge. She has always been active with the pets, from walking them, to cuddle time. Elyse has proven to be a responsible caregiver.

Elyse is a fun and caring person that is very respectful and responsible. She has cared for pets for nearly 10 years. Elyse has always cared or treated others pets as if they were her own.
