About Elissa M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, welcoming space for pets to feel safe and secure at home. I work with them to make them feel loved and valued as if they are my own.
Information Elissa M. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I love to spend time outside with the dogs. We’ll play fetch in the yard, get the zoomies out, and go for a walk around the neighborhood. I also love to practice tricks with them and help stimulate their minds with puzzle toys. They can expect lots of cuddles and warmth!

Pet care experience
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 is great!!! Very responsive and Leo loves her. 10/10 service would highly recommend to anybody.


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.
