Reliable & trustworthy professional
Pet care experience
Whether you're looking for a quiet, cozy safe haven for your dog to relax or someone to provide an exciting day full of adventure with beach runs and exploring - I provide both! You can expect that I make your dog my number one priority during his/her stay. I reside in a very well kept, uncluttered house by myself - no smoking, no children/roommates, no other pets. I work in cyber security/information technology. I grew up with pets all my life (dogs, cats, birds, frogs, you name it). I am an all-around animal lover. I’ve raised a variety of dog breeds ranging from Shih Tzus to German Shepherds and have experience with training, grooming, walking, pet sitting, and fostering. I understand dog behavior very well and know the types of indicators that dogs give to convey their mood, hunger, and comfortability. I live a very active lifestyle, and will have no problem keeping up with big and/or athletic dogs. I am by the book as well, so if you have any specific instructions to take care of your fur baby I’ll follow them to the T.
Reviews
Elissa is amazing. She is responsive, friendly, and trustworthy. We felt safe entrusting her with our pets and home. Our rescued Labrador is terrified of new people, but Elissa solicited his friendship on just the second day. We’ll be requesting her services repeatedly.
Elissa was the best pet sitter we've ever hired. She took such good care of out little puppy. She stays in communication vie text and the app and send updates every hour. You will know exactly what your pup is up to. Cheerio was so well taken care of and I am for sure going to have Elissa take care of her again when we visit Monterey ❤️
Loving & competent handler. I totally trusted Elissa with my German Shepherds & my cat. She’s the best!!
Elissa is an exceptional dog handler. I trust her with my German Shepherds. They love her & they return from their walks more settled than when they left. Great job!
