I love caring for animals!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Elsa. I am 23 and just graduated from FLC with a biology degree. My profile says I have pets in the house but I actually don’t. I grew up with many dogs of all sizes and kinds. I’m experienced w reactive, anxious, and shy dogs. I used to work in a veterinary clinic where I cared for the boarded animals. There I learned how to administer medication and handle difficult dogs. I have a deep love for all animals and love to spend my time with them whenever I can. I am gentle and patient and adore every animal no matter their temperament or breed. I love walking them, cuddling them, playing with them and just keeping them company whenever they like.

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 like to get to my clients house as early as I can in the morning to spend some good time with the pets, feed them and get them out for a walk (if allowed) before work. In the evenings I like to spend some good time playing and hanging out and then will do another check in around bed time.

Information Elsa G. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to care for any kind of dog. Senior or special needs. I learn quickly and am happy to provide whatever is needed for them at anytime. If your pet does have special requirements please give me a little notice so I can make sure I can provide whatever it is that they need.

A typical day

I love to play fetch or tug-of-war. I also like to stimulate their brains with lick mats or walks where we get lots of good sniffing in
