Experienced dog lover and owner!

Pet care experience

I have been petsitting for over five years. I am a huge dog lover, and I grew up with four large labs, who I trained in agility, obedience, and rally. I am an avid outdoors person, and previously worked for a dog hiking company in Denver, where I was responsible for hiking with 4 large dogs at a time in all conditions. I will take your dog hiking and running with me! I love all dogs, but have a preference for large dogs. I am happy to provide references, and I'm excited to meet you and your furry friend(s) and to ensure their health and safety when you can't be with them. Thank you!

She stayed at our house with our three dogs. Dogs were well taken care of, including our oldest who was in some pain at the time. Bonus, professional level photo taker of your pet. We will cherish the photos she sent to us :-). House was kept clean and Elissa went above and beyond any expectations we had.
