I love pets and pets love me!
Pet care experience
As a child of a Veterinarian technician, our house was always full of animals; rabbits, birds, cats, and dogs and I began caring for pets at a young age. I've always loved dogs and cats immensely. I was *obsessed* with dogs and cats from a young age and even took my border collie/flat coat retriever mix and tabby cats to 4-H as a kid and had a brief stint in the world of cat and dog showing and training. I studied dog breeds in my free time and have always loved them with all my heart. I've been the go-to dog sitter for many years among my friends and family since I was 10. I've also been proclaimed the "Best Dog Auntie Ever," by several of my friends who I often dog sit for. Excited to meet your pooch. Also CATS. We just get each other. I deeply love cats and could never define myself as either a cat or dog person. I’ve had an affinity for animals my entire life. I worked as a wildlife biologist for 10 years but have found domestic animals are the best for cuddles ;)
Reviews
Elisa was absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of our pups and our home. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Elisa did an amazing job with my 12-year-old cocker spaniel. I was initially pretty anxious to leave him for such a long period of time but Eisa was super communicative about everything and sent many photos/videos everyday so I knew he was very well cared for! She took him on tons of great walks and spent a lot of time with him, which I really appreciated because he’s used to being around people most of the time. She also left my apartment very clean! Would 100% book her again and I know my pup will miss her!
Elisa stayed with our dog Echo for a week while we were out of town. We were happy to find her because her work schedule allowed her to be at our home with Echo much of the time we were gone, Echo likes having company. They did lots of local hikes, Echo is used to hiking off leash and Elisa was comfortable with that. We loved receiving photo updates. Echo was happy when we returned and our house was left very tidy. We would absolutely have Elisa watch Echo in the future.
Absolutely outstanding pet care. We traveled out of country the 1st time since 2018 and we were nervous to leave our 2 dogs. Every day we were comforted by photos and messages. Our two eccentric dogs never missed a beat and were calm and loved, this gave us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our trip. We will book Elisa again without a doubt and wouldn't hesitate to give our full recommendation. Thank you Elisa!!

Information Elisa W. would like to know about your pet
Feel free to let me know if your pet has any special needs—I’m happy to accommodate. Each animal is special and I can appreciate their uniqueness. I’d love to know their favorite trails or parks, snacks and treats. Please let me know if there are anxious or aggressive behaviors that I need to be aware of for both of our safety.
A typical day
I love to go out hiking—I grew up in Bellingham so I know lots of good spots to bring dogs, both on leash or off leash depending on your comfort level.

I’m a newly licensed acupuncturist! I work Wednesday 1-8 pm so that is the main time I’ll be away from home. Otherwise I’m flexible and able to be with your pet. I’m currently only taking booking requests that are more than 3 days long unless there is more then one animal.
