Proficient in dog play
Pet care experience
I've spent the last year caring for fur babies and am certified in pet CPR and first aid. Complicated feeding or care instructions? That's no sweat for me, I focus on attention to detail. I've taken care of many different breeds and different personalities/temperaments as well. I'd love to take your pup on long walks or play ball. I also wouldn't mind just hanging out with a more shy or timid dog to get them warmed up and comfortable, maybe with treats or pets. I'm available a good deal of time but I'm also somewhat flexible around the hours that I'm not. I'll make it my top priority to provide quality service to you and be your dogs second best friend while you are away.
Reviews
We had Elyssa watch our dog, Tex, and she was great! Tex is a rescue that we're only had for a couple months and he's never gone a night without us. She came over beforehand for an initial meeting and although this would be the first time we'd be away from Tex overnight I felt comfortable and confident with her watching our beloved pup. She was very polite, and Tex felt comfortable with her and enjoyed the treats she had in her pocket :-). She asked questions about anything we forgot to cover and was very thorough in making sure she knew everything she needed to know in order to take the best care of our dog. After our night away we returned to a clean house, a good rundown of how he did while we were away from Elyssa, and a very happy dog! She even trimmed his nails! We will definitely be contacting Elyssa next time we need a dog sitter, or even for a drop in visit. We highly recommend her.
Elyssa is a kind and gentle lover of all creatures. She has worked in a professional capacity with 4 legged fur babies for the last year, loving and caring for each one. Elyssa is honest and trustworthy and your animals will love her ?
Elyssa has always been an animal lover, and dogs are no exception. She goes above and beyond with caring for her own dog, a rescue named Bowie, and it really shows. He's such a well mannered and happy dog. She has been working at a doggy boarding facility for a long time, and has tons of experience with dogs of all temperaments and sizes. I would definitely recommend her care for any dog!
About Elyssa D.

Skills
Information Elyssa D. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a dog I would like to know how energetic the dog is, what tricks they might know (or maybe they need to work on), and just a little bit about their favorite activities or likes/dislikes. I'm a sucker for big pups but I really don't have any preferences regarding what breeds I care for.
A typical day
On a stay with me walks generally won't be too far from a meet and greet area or the owners home, unless specified by the owner. I don't mind running with more high energy pups or playing ball. I would also love to do tricks with your dog if they know any.
