Safety, trust & environment

I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable and safe in their own home while their owner is away. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any routines their pet is used to. I take the time to make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, while also respecting their space if they’re more shy or independent. My goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible so both the pet and owner feel comfortable.

Information Elissa M. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for your pet, I like to know a bit about their routine and personality so they feel safe and happy. Could you tell me about their feeding schedule, favorite activities, any medications or health concerns, and any house rules or off-limit areas? This helps me make sure they get the best care and attention while you’re away.

A typical day

I enjoy keeping pets both physically and mentally stimulated. Activities can include walks, playtime with toys, fetch, outdoor time, and plenty of attention and affection. I always adjust activities based on the pet’s age, personality, and energy level to make sure they’re happy and comfortable.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them comes naturally to me. I recently trained my own dog myself, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and positive attention are. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
