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.

It doesn’t get better than Elyssa! She kept us updated with photos and videos our entire trip and left our house spotless! Truly a wonderful dog sitter!!

Elyssa did such a wonderful job with Bruiser! When we got home, we could immediately tell he had been well taken care of. She also gave us such sweet compliments about Bruiser and reassured us that he was doing great while we were away, which meant a lot. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend Elyssa!
