Pet care experience

I have had pet cats ever since I was a little girl. Starting in college, I also began to volunteer with animal shelters and rescue programs, and discovered I had a passion for taking care of animals. I don't mind putting in the hard (and dirty) work to make sure your pet gets fed, watered, played with, and has a clean environment to stay in. Pets bring so much joy to our lives, and I would love to help keep your pet happy while you're away. I am available for drop-in visits for cats or dogs. I also have experience administering oral medications and insulin injections to cats and dogs, and nebulizer treatments for cats.

Elisa is a 5-star sitter. She takes great care of my animals, is prompt to reply to my messages, sends cute pictures, and is willing to go above and beyond. I know my animals are in great hands when I am out of town because Elisa is taking care of them.

Elisa was great with our animals! We had one snafoo when she failed to let the dog out as she had a work conflict. Luckily, I had a neighbor by to assist. Other than that, she was great and responsive and we would use her again! Thank you!

If I could put 10 stars for Elisa I would! She took SUCH good care of my kitty while I was out of town. Truly couldn’t be happier with her care that she provided. HIGHLY recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
