Hi! I'm Elyse, a singer-songwriter from Fort Collins, Colorado. When I'm not on stage, you'll find me tending to the furry faces of Northern Colorado. I have been trained in pet first aid and CPR. I am member of Professional United Pet Sitters (PUPS) and privately insured through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC (PSA), one of the most respected insurers in the industry. I have also worked as a volunteer with the Larimer County Humane Society. References are available upon request. My animal family includes two shitzus and a shelter-rescue polydactyl cat. I am experienced pet sitting with cats and dogs, and have also cared for chickens, bunnies, and fish. I've always lived with pets. Pet hero moment: once I jumped in a river to save a small dog that was being pulled into the rapids! Why I love dog sitting As a child I thought I could talk to the animals. I have always been an animal lover.
