Belly Rub Expert, Works from Home

Pet care experience

Hi! Over the past 7 years, I've fostered a handful of amazing rescue pups, and I have two very sweet dogs who are the absolute best company. It's meant so much to have people I trust watch my pups while I was away, and I want you to know that's the type of experience your pet(s) will have in my home. Walks, snuggles, play time, safety and security. Our family and home is incredibly dog friendly (big yard, great routes for walking, two kids who are also obsessed with dogs). Take a deep breath knowing we’ll take the very best care of your pup. I only take one pup at a time, so your dog has my full attention. Your rules are my rules. If they're allowed on furniture at your house, they're allowed on mine. If they sleep on your bed or in your room, they're welcome to here as well. I want your pup to feel like they're at their home away from home when they're with me. I work full-time from home, so I'm here to let your pup out to go potty, give snuggle breaks and take them for a walk during the day. As mentioned, my yard is fenced so you don't have to worry about your dog's security, and they'll have some time to roam safely outside.

Elyssa has been letting Otis out for potty breaks for a few weeks now and I love how comfortable he feels around her. She’s very caring and loving towards my pup 🙂

So great. Penny loved her time, and was exhausted until the next day!

Elyssa is fantastic with dogs. She is kind, compassionate, and caring and has rescued dozens of dogs that were in desperate need of care. Her abilities and experiences make her a natural and easy choice to take care of my pet. Elyssa is extremely attentive and intuitive to the needs of pets. Whether it's their feeding schedule, exercise routines, or just needing some extra cuddles, she went above and beyond to ensure my dog was not just looked after, but truly cared for.

Information Elyssa A. would like to know about your pet

I do need to ensure your pet is good with children, up-to-date on their vaccines, fully potty trained and friendly with other dogs. If your dog needs to be crated while gone, please express that as well. I do have a large crate at my house, so you wouldn’t need to bring one unless that's what you prefer!

A typical day

We’ll take a daily walk or two, fit in lots of snuggles and play fetch in the back yard. My dogs are great playmates, so they’ll have plenty of social interaction as well!

Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet! You won’t have to worry about them being alone for too long at any point. We'll do daily walks, play time outside, plenty of belly rubs and potty breaks.
