I will follow your guidelines on how to care for your fur baby to the letter. I know that activity, food and love are what’s important.

I need to be aware of any unusual behaviors so I can best care for your pet and perhaps help with any issues, such as house breaking, fears, etc.

A typical day

Fetch, ball, walks, tug-of-war, laser, keep-a-way, feather teasing, whatever play preference the pets have. It could be just short walks or snuggling, depending on your pet.

Elissa is great with my two dogs, taking them on long walks. I always feel they are comfortable with her in our home.

Elissa got along with our two dogs very well, giving them good exercise and lots of attention. She was very responsive and understanding. We’ll be in touch when we need a dogsitter again!
