Responsible and Reliable Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I have loved dogs since I was a kid and want to spend as much time with them as possible; I joke that I'll tend to follow a dog around at home just to get more time together and definitely gravitate to any dog in a room! I fostered failed my own dog Cedar last summer and have loved finally having my own dog! I understand the importance of exercise, reinforcing expected behaviors and boundaries, and of course love to make for a wonderful pet relationship. I have experience with reactive, shy, anxious, and hyper dogs and use R+ methods to help manage their emotions. I look forward to helping out and can't wait to meet your dog!
Reviews
Elyssa is the best. She Loves my dog as much as I do. She was our walker for three years, a member of the family. Anyone will be lucky to have her care for their pets.
Elyssa is always very communicative and sends photos, which I love! I always know my dog is in good hands when she's with Elyssa. I would trust her with my baby (aka my dog) anytime!!
Always amazing and helpful with my little one even in her elderly age. I appreciate her kindness.
Our dog Bentley loves Elyssa and gets so excited every time we book her for a walk/visit. We highly recommend her! She is so sweet and caring.
About Elyssa D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Through my experience working with many dogs and learning to how help my own reactive dog, I have spent a lot of time tuning into dog communication and body language. I will use this understanding with your dog to build trust. I will respect your requests around safety at your home, building, or neighborhood and never multi-task while caring for your dog.
Information Elyssa D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or history of reactivity, aggression, or anxiety. I’d also love to know if there are any skills or specific cues you are working with so I can reinforce these during my time with your dog.
A typical day
I love going on long walks and having plenty of time for play, enrichment, and cuddles depending on your dogs preferences and needs. I will base our schedule on your requests or recommendations and how your dog is doing on a given day.
