I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walking and I also bring the dogs hiking frequently and to fenced in areas to run. We are very active. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds if that is ok with their owner. We are very laid back and comfortable but considerate of each individual.

Information Elissa L. would like to know about your pet

***Guests need to be house trained, please!!! We will not accept pee-pad trained or dogs with incontinence due to medical or excessive separation anxiety. Thank you for understanding!!*** I would like to know about any aggressive behavior towards people or other dogs. We sometimes have a few dogs at a time in the house and cannot separate, so in order to plan the stay I need to know ahead of time if I can accept other dogs as well or not. We cannot accept dogs that are aggressive towards children at all.

A typical day

We will go on lots of walks in my quiet neighborhood, and take trips to nearby walking and hiking trails and fenced in areas. We will play ball, play with toys, and get tons of attention. We are very active and the dogs love it!

Experienced Dog Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I have years of experience taking care of dogs and anticipating their needs. When kept to a daily routine of walks, play time, meal times and hangouts most dogs feel at ease in a new environment. They will know what to expect and know that their needs will be met which allows them to feel safe and happy. A tired dog is a happy dog! We get out multiple times a day to walk, run, and play. Dogs are allowed on furniture, upstairs and downstairs and to co-sleep. This helps most to feel safe and connected while their owner is away. We ask that your dog is potty trained, has the ability to be away from you fairly confidently, and that there is no history of aggression towards people or children. These are all vital to a positive boarding experience.

Elissa was incredible! I was coming from out of state and needed to have my dog watched for a few hours, was unfamiliar with the area, but she made this process as easy and comforting as possible. Super accommodating, nice to talk to, and was very flexible with my and my dog's needs.

Elissa was great. She managed a hard situation with a dog who was more reactive than usual with cars and trucks. Her competent and easy going manner made this a very positive experience for us.
