“We would HIGHLY recommend Elyssa. She did a fantastic job caring for our cat and genuinely loves animals. She will definitely be our go to Rover person from now on.”
About: I’ve had a pup in my household my whole life and I began walking and dog sitting for others in 2020. I have taken classes on pet and animal CPR. I am very caring and will taken great and extra care of your animal! Currently working a part time job and I am about to start a second one. I’m available for your pets in the mornings and early afternoons on weekdays with the possibility on weekends depending on work. On days that I am off I can accommodate multiple walks and/ or check ins. I have a medium sized dog who’s 2 years old at home, as well as a small 15lb pup. I listen well to instructions and take precautions if needed. I do not offer services for your dog to come to my home, however I will care for your dogs with the same quality.

About: From fostering dogs with heartworm and post-surgery needs to building trust with the most timid rescues, I’ve cared for dogs in all kinds of situations. My experience goes beyond the basics—I understand how to read body language, support anxious pups, and manage specialized routines with patience and care. I hold a PhD in Nutrition, and while my focus has been on human health, I bring that same passion and knowledge to giving animals the healthy, happy lives they deserve. I’m attentive, experienced, and deeply committed to the well-being of every dog in my care. I can’t replace you in your dog’s life, but I can give you both the peace of mind you deserve while you're apart--whether it be for days at a time or just a short walk. I work mostly remotely, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. My own dog gets three walks a day—totaling about 90 minutes—and we rarely miss one. I’m happy to include your dog in those walks or adjust the schedule based on their energy level and routine. Because I’m home most of the time, I can offer a calm, consistent environment and plenty of attention. I’m flexible and always aim to cater to each dog’s individual needs—whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, or extra potty breaks. In my home, pets are treated like family—often even better than the humans! 😄 I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, so there’s plenty of room for dogs to feel comfortable and move around freely. Dogs are always welcome on the bed and couches, and I keep fresh water available in every room to make sure they stay hydrated and happy. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I aim to create a calm, cozy environment where each dog feels safe, loved, and completely at ease. I follow any routines or preferences you provide and always pay close attention to each dog’s comfort and well-being.
“Hannah was great! She was super communicative and easy to work with. Arya seemed very happy when I got home from my trip. Would definitely book Hannah again!”
About: - My apartment receives monthly flea treatment, but all pets should still be on flea prevention medication before to come to my house - All pets should be fully vaccinated - Usually, I send pictures/videos ones, around 8-8:30 pm and a little update if you request it. I understand that leave you pet with a strangers can be very anxious , but I assure you , your pet has place to sleep, a lot of attention, a lot of play time, walks and love. ☺️ - I am not accept dogs with any type of aggression: dog, cat or kids. - I’m not accept dogs without meet and greet . I have been taking care of animals since early childhood. I always brought home homeless animals. My parents and I treated and helped abandoned babies recover. Love for animals is in my blood. my family had cats, dogs, birds, squirrels. I know how to give pills, how important it is to play and walk the dogs a lot, how important it is to change the litter box often. I am very empathic and always feel sorry for our smaller brothers. I’m stay home mom. I have plenty of time to care about pets while my son at school . After school usually we walk all day and take dogs with us. walking the dog will be a minimum of 30 minutes.i had husky before and we walk together at least an hour. Dogs with high energy is not a problem for me😄. If your dog likes to play with balls, I will be glad to play with him/her. if your pet takes pills - no problem! I'll take care of that too! I provide brush hair (fur) , night walks, gentle care.

Cody H.
“It’s not every day that you come across someone as naturally gifted with animals as my son. I’m writing this letter not just as a proud parent, but as someone who has watched him transform a love for dogs into a calling. From a young age, he’s had a quiet, grounded way of connecting with animals that goes far beyond basic care. He doesn’t just walk dogs—he studies them. He watches their body language, notices their routines, and takes time to learn their quirks and comforts. I’ve seen him wake up early to work with shy foster dogs, spending hours with them to rebuild trust and confidence, never rushing the process. Patience is second nature to him. He has taken in fosters others might consider “too much”—those who need extra training, medication, or simply more love than most are willing to give. These dogs don’t just do well under his care—they flourish. He creates a calm, structured environment where animals feel secure and respected. What sets him apart is how seriously he takes this work. He keeps detailed notes on feeding, routines, training goals, and behaviors. He’s the kind of person who will triple-check that a gate is locked, who never forgets a medication dose, and who will send updates and photos without being asked—because he genuinely knows how hard it is to leave a beloved pet behind. If you're looking for someone who treats animals with the same care you'd give a family member—and who brings reliability, skill, and deep understanding to the job—then there’s truly no better person for the job. Sincerely, Angie Rourke (Cody's Mom)”
