Dog lover: lots of play & snuggles!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Elissa and I am a true dog lover. I have been pet sitting since I was 7 years old: from yorkies to golden retrievers, I have helped with numerous breeds. I have also been a dog owner for over 20 years, and I know that there is no better feeling than coming home to your best friend : ). I love to be outside, and I will do all of your dog's favorite activities with them: walking on nature trails, throwing their favorite stick, going for a (slow) jog, or just sitting happily in the sun. I will do anything to make your pup happy in your absence! I have experience with elderly and ill dogs as well. I am currently a stay-at-home mom to two boys under 5 and they may come along on my Rover appointments! I live in a house with a fenced backyard and plenty of room to play. I can't wait to meet your dog!

First time using Elissa and very impressed. She took care of my Bubba as if he was her own. She sent me numerous photos of him having a good time. 🙂 I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Elissa!!

Elissa was great all around. My dog is somewhat special needs and she was very understanding.

Elissa was awesome! She agreed to take care of my pup on pretty short notice! She sent me pictures of my puppy and cleaned up after her if she had an accident! I recommend her to anyone!

Information Elissa C. would like to know about your pet

I think it's always important to know what riles a dog up and what calms them down! It's good to know how to avoid over-exciting a dog, as well as how to help them relax. Any favorite routines and activities are helpful as well. No breed preferences! I have owned a Bichon Frise, Shih Tzu, and Brussels Griffon. I have had a Golden Retriever, German Shepherd and Boxer live with me for extended periods of time.

A typical day

Some of my favorite activities are hiking trails, playing fetch, reading a book while your dog chews its favorite bone, and going to the dog park! I am open to hearing about any activities that your dog enjoys.
