Dog lover!

I’ve owned and taken care of dogs of all different sizes and ages since I was 10! I love all dogs, especially the energetic and goofy ones:) I’d love to walk, play with, bathe, or feed your pup before I start my grad school classes!

Elyssa is great! She comes to walk my dog and she has developed a relationship with my scaredy-cat who has never warmed up to anyone before. That says a lot about her kind character.

Safety, trust & environment

I can take your pups for long or short walks, play fetch in fenced-in areas, and even run off some of their energy if needed! I am happy to crate, feed, or give meds to your dog if that is in their routine as well.

I love playing games, exploring the neighborhood, and checking out parks in the area! Playing tug of war and fetch are my favorites to help get energy out:)
