Active dog-loving veterinarian!

Pet care experience

UPDATE Feb. 2018 - As my schedule is extremely variable, I have found it difficult to keep things up-to-date on Rover; moving forward, please inquire about specific availability and I will get back to you as soon as I can! :) UPDATE 1/3/18 - I recently adopted a puppy, so will no longer be able to watch dogs that are not dog friendly. My new pup is very social and loves other dogs! :) Also - I have not had a chance to update my schedule past mid-January (my apologies!!), so if you have questions about availability, just ask! :) I am a full-time emergency veterinarian with a flexible and varied schedule, allowing me to maximize time with your pet! I have extensive knowledge of animal behavior, and am comfortable with all dogs, including fearful and reactive dogs, puppies, and elderly animals with illness. My schedule is quite varied; I work long hours combined with stretches off during the week, and during available times can provide an attention-rich environment for your pets as if they were my own. Please inquire about specific availability, or special needs situations. While your pet is in the very best hands with my professional expertise, please keep in mind that pet care services are restricted to pet-sitting and walking, and I'm unable to perform veterinary consultation services through Rover. Thank you!

Elisa was absolutely fantastic to work with! She was extremely flexible with setting up a meeting prior to boarding Bentley so we could ensure the dogs got along. She did a wonderful job of handling the meet and greet between the two dogs when they weren't entirely sure of each other, and was very knowledgeable about how to encourage safe and positive interactions! She sent tons of great photos and updates during his day with her. Elisa even found a concerning spot on Bentley's lip and immediately updated us on the situation, and took the initiative to contact a vet and send us frequent updates throughout the process. She even followed up and checked how he was doing several days after his visit! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with her, and I can't wait to bring Bentley back for another stay!

Elisa was amazing with Neko! Neko recently had a medical issue and needed special care (light physical therapy, needed to be carried) and Elisa handled it like the pro she is. Neko was very comfortable right away, too. Highly recommend

Elisa is so wonderful! We've been back a few times now, and it's such a treat to see Bella lean up against Elisa as if she were one of the family. We get lots of updates throughout the day.

Dr. Elisa was great! She was really flexible despite short notice and communicated well with me throughout the entire visit as well as the time leading up to the visit. My dog excite-pees/submissive pees whenever she sees someone new and Dr. Elisa even cleaned all of it up and sent me multiple pictures of my dog enjoying her 35 minute walk. I definitely felt secure with Dr. Elisa in my home as well as with my dog and would highly recommend her to others nearby. I will be a repeat customer!

Information Dr. Elisa L. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along well with other dogs? Is your dog potty-trained? Crate trained? Does your dog have a tendency to get into things he/she shouldn't (eg. counter-surfing)? Does your dog have dietary restrictions or allergies? I would also know what activities your dog likes best! I love all breeds! I am Pitbull friendly! :)

A typical day

We will go on walks through the neighborhood and in the large park that backs up to my house! I also have a large carpeted living room, great for playing with toys and other enrichment! We might even practice clicker training and various positive reinforcement behaviors, if you'd like!
