Walks, Wags & Love – Elyssa

Hi! I’m Elyssa, an animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets, big and small. I’ve looked after everything from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs. My experience includes Great Danes, Yorkies, Dachshunds, Pit Bulls, Labs and Lab mixes, and lots of cats too! I’m familiar with handling back problems, skin conditions, bladder issues, and pets that require special diets or medications. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a gentle walk, or just a snuggle buddy, I’ll treat them like my own! I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and love building trust with every pet I meet. Please consider me as your sitter. I’d love to care for your furry family member like they’re my own!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for animals, I treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s going on walks, sticking to their routine, giving them special food, or just spending quality time with them, I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs. I’m gentle, patient, and always focused on building trust, especially with nervous or older pets. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and well cared for at all times.

Elyssa has been wonderful with Enzo! She has taken him for hour long walks and drop ins while I've been working, he enjoys it so much! She always responds promptly and is punctual. I get lots of pictures. I will continue to book her on a regular basis and am very happy with her taking care of Enzo!

Elyssa took amazing care of my lab puppy + very old irish setter! She is the sweetest little bug and would be the best pick to take care of any animals you may need. Very reliable and trustworthy

Schedule

As a student at Georgia Southern University, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable and consistent care for your pets. I plan my classes to leave plenty of time for pet sitting, walking, and check-ins throughout the day. Whether your pet needs early morning attention, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals!

Before sitting your dog, I like to know a few important things to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. Please let me know their feeding schedule, potty routine, and any allergies or medical needs. It’s also helpful to know their temperament, how they do on walks, and how they react to other dogs or people. If they take any medications, have favorite toys, or respond to certain commands, I’d love to know that too. The more details you can share, the better I can care for your pet like they’re my own!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
