A paws-itively good time your pet!

Pet care experience

I have experience with dogs of varying sizes and breeds, as well as horses big and small, cats, and chickens due to lengthy experiences with livestock and horse farms. I have experience with competition obedience, rally, and agility with my dogs. I'd love to be able to connect with you and your pet in a meet & greet before our walk, drop-in or stay! I love going for walks or playing inside to make sure your pups or kitties have a great time, no matter what they like to do - whether it is just relaxing at home, playing frisbee in the backyard, or taking a walk! I have experience with crate training and crating dogs, can administer oral medication, and understand how important it is for proper potty breaks and appropriate food schedules. All pets are unique and have their own personalities, and I absolutely love getting to know new ones! Pets are members of our families, so keeping them safe and happy is important to me. I am easy to reach and can respond quickly through the Rover app! I absolutely love giving updates during my services in the form of text, photo, and video, so you know I am delivering the best care possible. Please be aware that my rates are set to compensate for the 20% that Rover deducts for utilizing their platform. --- I am able to care for: - dogs - cats - horses - chickens and ducks - small critters like hamsters, bunnies, or guinea pigs - fish

Elisa was fantastic! I am so glad we found her! She came out prior to our vacation, to meet our cat and go over everything. She was more than willing to help with other things such as watering the garden and offered to bring the mail inside too (although we had "paused" our mail, since we were not sure of the ending date). Elisa spent time with our cat, playing, petting and taking/sending pictures and video. She made sure to note the pertinent information about feeding and litter clean-up. She was very flexible with the timing of our get -away, and adjusted accordingly. I cannot say enough about how happy we were with Elisa. My cat truly seems to miss her :)

Elisa has watched my cat a few times now and I can’t say enough good things about her. She sends detailed updates every night with amazing pictures. If she’s going to be later than normal, she’ll give me a heads up. When my cat is being moody, she still sits and tries to engage him in play. She is one of the only people he will come running to when she walks into the house.

Elisa was absolutely fantastic! We will definitely be having her watch our cat again soon! She gave live updates and took excellent care of our furbaby!

I highly recommend Elisa as my dog sitter. She watches my French bulldog and I could not be any happier that I found her! She is gentle, enthusiastic and patient with my Reggie! I know my dog is in good hands when Elisa visits! Love the pictures and videos she sends me of the visit. He looks so happy!

I will work with you to set up care preferences for your pets. This includes specific ways you want your animals to spend their time with me, what their feed and potty schedules are, and what they like to do for mental and physical enrichment.

Information Elisa F. would like to know about your pet

- Any behavioral quirks - Allergies or other medical information - A general idea of their personality - Favorite games and/or toys - Daily routines, especially involving food

A typical day

Rover does not allow services by time frame, so if you're contacting me for dog walks or visits that fall within normal working hours, there is a higher chance I may not be able to accommodate you. All animals are unique! Depending on your pet's preferences, we can play in-house, in a fenced yard with their favorite toy or other activity they prefer, or go for walks around the local neighborhood as long as the weather is right for it. I love catering to what will make your animals the most comfortable and relaxed they can be while you are away.

These prices are for one cat. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
