Your pets, our passion!

Pet care experience

Single family home with one working professional, and a 8 year old that occasionally visits. I have experience with small and large breeds. Your furbaby will enjoy a large fenced in back yard perfect for zoomies, playing, or relaxing on the deck. One level rambler so no stairs which is great for seniors. We are a family of animal lovers. We walk our guests twice a day to unless advised otherwise. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible and feel like they are at their home away from home. Have peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for like they are one of our own! About this sitter: Hard working professional who loves animals. Very patient, caring and attentive. Grew up with dogs and always have had one except for a few years after our Great Dane passed.. Why I love dog sitting: Animals are a joy and I really enjoy caring for them. I grew up around and have owned dogs and small animals ever since I was a child. My son also loves animals and it’s important to us that he grows up around them and learns how to care for them. About my yard: Large fenced back yard that is well taken care of. We treat it for fleas and other pests with natural products. The front and back property is monitored 24/7 by outdoor cameras. Plenty of room for you pups to play and exercise. They are never left outside alone. My experience administering medication: Oral and topical medication only We work during the week and are gone about 6-7 hours. When not working we will be home spending time with your pets and spoiling them with love. We have a fenced in yard so they have plenty of room to play supervised. They will be left out inside the house when we are at work unless they are crated which I can easily do. We own our own Extra large crate that can be used if need be. Also have spare stainless steel bowls that can be used while we care for your pet.

Elyse was wonderful- she loved and cared for my puppy as if it were her own. She was super responsive and ensured I had daily updates during the holiday break. She kept me posted on my puppy’s activities and my pup really enjoyed spending time with her!

This was the worst experience. When we picked up our dog he had a bad smell, and we thought he just needed a bath. His neck was wet, so we thought it was water. When we inspected our dog he had holes, yes holds around his neck. The sitter created these holes due to the misuse of a prong collar we provided, which we only use for walks and gently handling our dog. We had to take our dog to the ER to take care of him. The sitter insisted she didn't notice what only took a minute for us to discover. Her action is a reflection of dog abuse per the vet report to include constant use of the prong collar. Do not trust this person. She shouldn't be near animals.

2nd time booking with Elyse. Hayley seems like she had a great time with her family! I got a ton of updates from her. Glad we found a regular sitter for her. ❤️

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: Around my neighborhood or the park. Both are safe and animal friendly with hills and flat area. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: They will sleep in the living room either on the floor (carpeted) or bed unless an owner specifies and brings a crate. Time I'll spend with your dog I would be home the entire time that they stay unless it's during the week and I have to work. We will spend quality time walking and playing once home from work and on the weekends.
