Pet care experience

Professional Dog Sitter

I grew up with a dog and a cat, and have 12+ years of experience with dog walking, feeding, cleaning administering flea & tick medication, and administering medications by mouth. I’ve cared for pugs, vizslas, GSPs, golden retrievers, labs, dachshunds, corgis, frenchies, beagles, spaniels, schipperkes, mixes, tabbies, ragdolls, and more. I’ve handled both dogs that were reactive and dogs that liked to hide under the table, as well as affectionate and shy cats alike. I am patient and kind, and I’m able to handle a wide range of personalities, from affectionate to aggressive and scared. If your pet is nervous, I will take all the time necessary to make them feel at ease. I’ll be sure to send lots of photos & updates during my visits. It’s my pleasure to care for your pets, and it’s my priority to provide the best care possible!

Elissa helped us out in a pinch when we needed someone to walk our two pups - she was kind, communicative and professional! We recommend her.

I had a great experience with Elissa! She took excellent care of my dog Jake and kept me updated throughout the stay with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Jake looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. It was clear that she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and treats them like her own. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Elissa was so amazing to my sweet pug Daisy! She stayed in my home over the weekend and took the best care of my girl. Cannot recommend her enough!!

I will need to know if your pet requires special attention, medication, or treatment. I’d also love to know their unique needs, such as if they are high energy or easily overheated.
