Safety, trust & environment

I have a bunch of references that can vouch that I am trustworthy in your home and with your animals. I have attended many obedience trainings with my own dogs and can transfer that knowledge to you. I also have worked at Veterinarian's offices and have a great understanding of animal behavior.

Information Elisa U. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know how your pup reacts to other dogs and animals, if they like to play or like their alone time, and if they tend to run or should be kept on the leash at all times. Please let me know if your dog is on a special diet, has any allergies, or has special needs, and what their favorite treats are. ;)

A typical day

I am open to bringing your dog to familiar trails, parks, and neighborhoods or even play with them at home. Car rides to the park or trips to the local pet store are also possible depending on the your needs. I love walking and exploring new places!

Pet care experience

I love animals and have been caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. Due to the current job market, I am a full time pet sitter and dog walker and am in the Lake Barcroft/Lincolnia area of Alexandria with clients in Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, and Springfield. I have a flexible schedule and love meeting new clients! My midday walks and weekend house sitting spots tend to book up quickly, but I encourage you to reach out as things frequently change. I try to keep my rover calendar up date with my availability. I have extensive experience with overnight house sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I treat my clients' animals as if they were my own and am passionate about providing the best service possible. I am very trustworthy, respectful, clean, and am an excellent communicator. I require a complimentary meet and greet before booking. I hope you consider me and would love to build a long lasting relationship with you and your dog! I have three dogs that are cared for when I go provide services for others so I don’t have to worry about them during overnights. :)

Elisa was so great with Brownie. She was very attentive and Brownie loves seeing her for walks. I will definitely have her care for him again in the future!
