I love caring for animals!

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! My name is Elsa, and I’m 24 years old. I graduated from Fort Lewis College about a year ago with a degree in biology. I have extensive experience working with animals of all kinds, including time at a veterinary clinic and a local animal shelter. Currently, I’m shadowing at an emergency vet clinic to further expand my knowledge and skills. I have a strong background in handling behaviorally challenged dogs—including my own—and feel confident working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love every animal for who they are and enjoy discovering what makes each dog or cat happy. I believe every pet is unique, with their own specific needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

So sweet and communicative! Our pup had a great day hanging with Elsa while we were on an excursion outside of Durango!

I went out of town for the weekend and Elsa took care of my two cats while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent a lot of pictures & updates of the cats, which I loved. I would definitely book with her again! 10/10

I have known Elsa for so long and she is the most caring and patient person I have seen with animals. Last year we went to the humane society to visit with the dogs and cats just because that is what brought her the most joy. She is very diligent and sticks to plans. Any dog would be lucky to be cared by her.

I’m happy to care for dogs of all kinds, including seniors and those with special needs. I’m a quick learner and always ready to provide whatever they require at any time. If your pet has specific needs, please give me a little advance notice so I can ensure I’m fully prepared to provide the best possible care.

I love engaging pets in fun activities like fetch and tug-of-war, as well as providing mental stimulation with lick mats or enrichment walks that allow plenty of time for sniffing and exploring.
