“Thank you so much Dana, it was a comfort to know our girls were safe and happy! Thanks for arriving on time and for all the updates. The house was tidy when we got home and all of the dogs were clearly well cared for. Thanks again!”
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life — from growing up around horses and barn cats to caring for beloved family dogs. I have over 30 years of equine experience and have worked in a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant, which means I’m confident providing basic first aid, administering medications, and making sure your dog is safe, healthy, and happy. I have experience working as a vet tech and also worked as zookeeper at the NEW Zoo for a while. Today, I share my home with Luna, our fun-loving dog, and carry with me the experience of caring for our cherished golden doodle for 14 wonderful years. I live on a peaceful horse property with 5 acres of land (there is a safe fenced-in area for dogs away from the horses) where your dog will have plenty of space to run, sniff, and explore — or simply relax in the fresh country air. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I currently work from home so I am always available to love your pet and take care of their needs! I love taking care of dogs! Your dog will love my 5 acres of open land, plus a fenced yard and secure playpen for safe play. I also have three gentle, dog-friendly horses who keep the atmosphere calm and welcoming. I do have three cats, but they are barn cats and when they see a new dog, they are very, very good at hiding out. I live on a street that is tucked away from the busy road . Inside my house it is very pet friendly and I do have a nice kennel that dogs are able to go in if they need that.
“When I read the profile for Elyse, I immediately thought this is the kind of person I want caring for our dog kiddos. We had a meet and greet; she took detailed notes on all three dogs, on the household routine, and we were so impressed. Elyse is professional, experienced, caring, and kind. I’m a first time River user and consider myself extremely lucky to have found this quality of care, in our home. Elyse is an outstanding person and dog/house sitter!!”
“Kylee took amazing care of my pup! She followed my rules exactly and left my home exactly how it was before. She was exactly on time for our meeting as well as the scheduled care time! My pup absolutely adores her and I definitely will be going back to her for future dog-sits!”
