Kia ora, I’m Elyse.

I offer calm, attentive pet care grounded in presence and genuine love for animals. I understand how important it is to feel at ease leaving your pets with someone, and I take that trust seriously.

Alongside pet sitting, I work as a somatic practitioner. This means I’m deeply attuned to nervous systems and creating environments where both people and animals can feel safe and settled. I naturally bring a steady, regulated presence, and I often find animals relax quickly in my care. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small terriers to large retrievers, as well as cats. I adapt to each animals needs and personality, ensuring they feel safe an supported. Durinf visits, I enjoy walking, gentle play, and quiet compaionship, as well as follwojg any routines the owner has established to ensure pets feel safe and happy.

I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and attentive to each animal’s unique personality and needs — whether that’s playful energy, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance. I’m comfortable with routines, medication if needed, and clear communication so you feel informed while you’re away.

My intention is simple: that your pets feel calm, cared for, and secure — and that you can fully relax knowing they’re in safe hands.
