15. Elisa s.
“Elisa has been a reliable pet sitter for decades. She supported three furbabies in my life while I was away with long business trips and vacations. She was respectful of my home and demonstrated sincere care. Elisa administered medication and met the specific needs of my furbabies. Two of my furbabies crossed the rainbow bridge by August 2018. Since then Elisa has cared for my current furbaby, a sweet chihuahua with lots of separation anxiety. Elisa follows her specific schedule with pictures and updates. She can also give pet advice and reach out to vet techs when needed. I never have to worry if I'm out of town for a week. Elisa is attentive and caring. She takes her pet sitting, like her career, professionally and dutifully.”
