5 ⭐️ Trusted Pet Sitter & Companion
Hi! I'm Elisa. After several years of international travel and pet sitting, I'm now based back in Houston, where I work remotely as a consultant and help care for pets in my local community. Over the years, I've cared for pets and homes throughout the U.S., Australia, Portugal, Mexico, and the U.K. Some of those sits were completed alongside a partner through TrustedHousesitters, while many were completed independently. Today, all Rover bookings are with just me. A few things about me: 🐾 Over 6 years of pet sitting experience ⭐ 15+ completed house sits total 🏡 8 TrustedHousesitters sits with 100% 5-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews 🌎 International pet sitting experience across 5 countries 💻 Remote consultant, allowing me to spend more time at home with pets 🐶🐱Experience with dogs & cats of all ages, from puppies to seniors 💊 Comfortable administering oral medications and following special diets Whether your pet enjoys playtime, quiet companionship, walks, or simply sticking to their normal routine, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I want you to return to happy pets and a home exactly as you left it.

Safety, trust & environment
I know every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take time to learn what helps them feel comfortable. I follow your care instructions closely, keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, and let pets get to know me at their own pace. Whether that's treats, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply respecting their space, I want them to feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing.
Ratings and reviews
Elisa took wonderful care of our cat Sage and our 3-year-old border collie, Denver. She was gentle and caring with both of them, and her communication was excellent, she kept us updated throughout and sent regular photos that I always looked forward to receiving. It was also a bonus that she works from home, so the pets had company throughout the day. I would highly recommend Elisa for her pet companion services. She’s great!
I have used Elisa on more than one occasion to care for our pet poodle Taco. I always found Elisa to be reliable and mindful of the responsibilities that come with caring for a beloved fur baby whilst also minding our home. Her communication was constant which is necessary in providing peace of mind and we always return to a clean home and a happy Taco. Key factors when inviting a stranger into your home. Elisa is naturally a very organized person and will ask questions when seeking clarification. Her thoroughness instantly builds a sense of trust which further reinforces suitability, and her flexible nature means she can accommodate the different needs of a varied range of owners. I now genuinely consider Elisa a very good friend and would not hesitate in recommending her as a pet/home sitter.

Schedule
I work remotely, so pet sitting fits naturally into my day. That's actually how I spent several years pet sitting internationally. During the week, I'm usually working from your home, giving pets plenty of companionship throughout the day. I may occasionally step out for lunch or coffee but otherwise I'm home most of the time. My schedule is also flexible enough to accommodate weekends.
