Daddy and daughter dog sitters

I am Elise, and I love dogs. I am 12 years old and my dad and I are working together to dog sit so I can learn how to raise my own money. I will be helping to feed and play with your dog, and take him or her for walks. Also I love reading. This is Dad (Mike). Elise and I are doing this together, so I will be supervising her on walks and to make sure your fur baby is well fed and loved during their stay with us. We both love animals and have thoroughly enjoyed sitting so far! My wife and I both work from home, so even when Elise is at school, someone will be here all the time. Frankly, I welcome the breaks from the computer to take a midday walk. IMPORTANT: we have a cat named Pickles. He's pretty chill and has dealt well with the parade of dogs coming through his kingdom, but if your dog is very playful and/or inquisitive about cats, like chasing or persistent attempts to get him to play (Pickles will tolerate some hello sniffing, but otherwise would prefer to be left alone), it may not be a good match. We can always arrange a meet and greet to find out how they get along. :-)

Mike and his family were wonderful. They took great care of Sasha ensuring she was well looked after. They also provided regular updates on how she was doing during her first stay with them.

My dog, Penny, had a great stay, Mike, his wife and daughter are attentive and conscientious dog sitters. In the midst of a Halloween block party and lots of kids, they made a point of making sure Penny was secure and not disturbed by the activity.

Roxie had a great time and was very well cared for while she was with Mike. We had some travel changes last minute and Mike was very willing to accommodate.

Great sitter - warm & welcoming, lovely and safe strong fence backyard. Thoughtfully took time during meet and greet to make sure dog would not be in conflict with cats. Checked in appropriately and was kind to our pup. Would use again & would recommend to others.

When our daughter gets home from school, she will be responsible (and supervised) for feeding and walking your pet in the afternoons and evenings. At other times, I (Dad) will be looking after your pet, so they get good interaction, play time and walks.
