Vet Tech who loves all animals!

Pet care experience

I have been animal sitting since I was in grade school, I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science, and I have been a veterinary technician for a few years. All of this concludes to having many years worth of experience with handling and caring for dogs, cats, small animals and birds! I am proficient in medicating, bathing, trimming nails, diabetic animal care, mental stimulation for your pet and of course pets and cuddles. I am very attentive to details so any small or large request you want me to follow to keep your dogs schedule the same I will follow; including exercise and food preparations. I have learned a lot about animal behavior in my college classes and working at an animal shelter where shy to petrified pets would come in with a background of living in poor conditions. From those experiences I learned how to speak and approach scared animals to make them feel comfortable and respect their boundaries at the same time to build a positive human-animal bond and gain their trust.

Elisa did a fantastic job in caring for our 4 cats while we were away. She was able to administer our elderly cat's medications, including subcutaneous fluids, which was a huge relief. Thank you!

Elisa is communicative, flexible, and asked good questions to learn about the needs of my dog. She was willing to schedule me in short notice and was friendly.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks and playing with their favorite toys if there is an open dog park or yard available at the home! One thing I love to add during home sits or drop in visits is some mental stimulation. This is so beneficial for pets especially when they are a little more stressed than usual with their family gone, so I use lick mats, kongs or verbal training to wear their mind out which releases stress and keeps them busy for hours!
