Will walk, play and cuddle your Pup

Pet care experience

I’m a dog owner and lover. If you’re looking for a sitter that will take care of your dog like my own (even better actually), give them plenty of exercise with long walks/runs, cuddle them and send tons of pics and updates, then I’m the right one for you. I’ve been taking care of dogs for many years in both Chicago and Texas. I work part time and from home, which frees me up to be very active with every dog I care for; including several walks and engaging with them throughout the day. I take on very limited clients daily, which means your pup will get the attention and care they deserve with a sitter. My fees are on the higher end, but for good reason and you’ll find that it’s well worth it. I’m confident through my experience that you won’t find anyone that cares for your pup more than I will. My dog Pete is also a dog lover and will be sure to have plenty of play time followed by nap time with your pup. (Please note I increased my walking rate for the winter but it will adjust back in the Spring)

Elissa took great care of Vida, making sure she was very comfortable and keeping me posted with photos and updates. She even gave Vida a bath so she smelled great when I brought her home!

Elissa took such good care of our very neurotic dog! We had a meet up before to make sure everyone got along which eased any concerns. Elissa also sent lots of updates! Our pup got all the snuggles and seemed to have an amazing time going on walks and runs. Would definitely recommend Elissa to love your dog while you’re away.

Elissa went above and beyond to take care of our pup for daycare! There were cuddles, exercise, playtime—by the end of the day, we picked up a happy and tired dog. She was very communicative and send great pictures, and we felt very comfortable that she was taking great care of our dog.
