Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Bainbridge Pet Buddy
I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by animals, so caring for pets feels like second nature. I have a senior dog who keeps me tuned in to the slow-and-steady days, and a well trained Labrador who reminds me how much structure and consistency matter. That mix means I’m comfortable with everything from puppy basics to senior support. I pay attention to the little things like pacing, comfort, and cues that can be easy to miss. I’m local, dependable, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own little crew at home.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Elisa is the best dog person I have seen in a long time. She connects with the animal and my dogs could tell that she is a dog fan! I highly recommend Elisa as she is very professional and personable.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Elisa R. provided for our cat. From the start, communication was clear and prompt, which gave us peace of mind. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, which made being away so much easier. Everything was spotless when we returned, and our cat was relaxed and happy. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, Elisa R. is the person to book!
Elisa has cared for Kenna, Tank, and Mabel many times over the years, and I trust her completely. She knows each of their personalities and needs, from Mabel’s puppy-like high energy to Tank’s slower pace as a senior pup and she always gives them the right balance of play and attention. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and keeps me updated while I’m away. I know ours dogs are happy, safe, and loved when they’re with her.
Elisa has taken amazing care of my two dogs for the past five years. I can't recommend her enough. Both of my dogs adore her and look forward to her visits. She is the most reliable dog sitter I've ever had. She keeps me updated with what I call "pupdates" by sending photos and text messages as to how they are doing which gives me peace of mind when we are away. She also keeps the house tidy after the visit. One of my dogs can be anxious with new people but he warmed up to Elisa right away. She follows instructions carefully which is important because our senior dog needs medication and special supplements with his meals. She treats my pups with the same attention and affection she gives her own. I always feel completely confident leaving them in her care.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine, since I’m already used to structured feeding times, walks, and check-ins with my own animals. I plan my days with enough flexibility to handle visits, medication schedules, and play sessions. Staying consistent helps pets feel secure, so I build their routines right into mine and keep everything running smoothly.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m focused on keeping pets safe and comfortable in their own space. I follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medications to preferred routines and house rules. I keep things tidy, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and always leave your home the way I found it. Most of all, I move at your pet’s pace, giving them calm, consistent care so they feel relaxed while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me includes walks around the neighborhood and some playtime outside. We’ll go to the beach when we can, play fetch, and just enjoy being active together. On rainy days, I like to hide treats around the house to keep their brains busy and still have some fun indoors.
