Fun-loving and enjoys all breeds!

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a passion and love for animals, and taking care of them is the best way for me to reciprocate the love that they give us. I’ve been a professional sitter for about five years and have enjoyed every moment of it. I’ve always had pups growing up myself, so it was a completely natural decision and I couldn’t be happier! I always have a great time meeting new pups, so I can’t wait to meet your best friend! My number one priority is to make sure that both owners and pups are well taken care of during a stay. I know that no one likes to be away from their canine co-pilot, which is why I always provide punctual check-ins. I always like to send texts and pictures of what we’ve done during the day. And who doesn’t love getting cute pics of their pup while they’re away? I know I do! On top of that, I’m very accommodating and would love to hear how I can make your pup’s stay as perfect as possible. Whether that’s double cuddle duty or a few more walks per day, I’m happy to oblige. I am currently a student and have an open schedule outside of classes, so I will be able to spend a lot of time around your pooch and provide them with the love and attention they need while you’re away. I live in a wonderful neighborhood that is very dog-friendly. There are a lot pups around me so we’ll have a lot of opportunities to socialize. I also live two blocks from my college campus, which is a great place to walk around and meet some new friends. There are also a ton of very nice open fields nearby that are favorite puppy meet-up spots, so we’ll be in good company no matter where we go!

Elissa is the best! She loves dogs and has walked and housed many dogs in the past. Elissa treats every dog with professionalism.

Elissa is an AMAZING dog caregiver. She has been walking and petsitting my Golden Retriever for years and has never missed and appointment with my pup. Elissa is kind, reliable, and has a real love for animals. She always ensures that my dog has been fed, walked, and played with. She is the number one person I call when I'm going out of town. Since day one I have entrusted her with keys to my home, she's the best and would be an asset to any dog lover!

Information Elissa B. would like to know about your pet

I know that it can be a little scary at first for a pup to get used to a new environment. I’m always happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before the actual stay in order to make sure that the transition is as smooth as possible. Once we do that and everything is a good fit, I always want to know ahead of time if there’s any special health needs that need to be attended to. Whether that be dietary restrictions, medicine that needs to be administered, or behavior triggers, no amount of attention is too much for me. I also like to know if your pooch has any kind of regimen or schedule that they like to stick to, such as morning or evening walks, regular meal times, or reserved times for activities. Finally, I always love learning how I can spoil your pup the best, so I’m all ears for any tips!

A typical day

There are several places nearby that are great places for pups to visit. I love to walk around my neighborhood if we’re staying close by, but am happy to venture outwards. We can also visit my college campus and meet some new friends. There are definitely good opportunities to get out and about if we’re in the mood for longer walks too! I know of some great parks nearby that are perfect for playing catch and burning off some energy. If your pup is a bit more on the easy-going side, we can always stay local and cuddle up together while I do some work at home.
