Loving, affordable cat care

Pet care experience

I'm glad you're here on my profile, and I hope you'll consider choosing me to look after your cat(s)! (Please note that while I do like dogs, I am too inexperienced to work with them in a petsitting capacity.) Here are a few reasons I think you should consider hiring me to look after your cats: *KNOWLEDGE: I have lived with two cats for the past decade, which has given me a lot of knowledge about cat temperaments and behaviors. I don't force anything with any cats, and instead prefer to follow their lead. I'm happy to love on your cat(s), but only as much as they want me to! *EXPERIENCE: I am experienced not only with my own cat but also with clients'. I have been catsitting via Rover for the past year-plus and in that time have had dozens of clients, many of them repeats. I can administer meds (pills, liquids) to cats—yes, even cats that are not my own. *AFFORDABILITY AND QUALITY: I believe that cat care can—and should—be both affordable and high quality. My many five-star reviews attest to the quality of the care I provide. I will not skimp on time with your cat(s), and I will love them as much (or as little) as they want in the time we spend together. I also believe in being a good steward of clients' homes, and I will clean up messes and keep your space tidy while you're away.

Elise was great- she was prompt and cared for our cat so well, even though he can be a bit difficult! She administered pills like a champ. We are very grateful for Elise and will definitely book her again!

Elise was absolutely out of this world! She did SO well with my two cats over the week I was gone. I didn’t stress at all because I knew she’d take good care of them. 10/10, cannot recommend her enough!

Elise was great! Mac gets very upset when we leave him, but Elise understood the right amount of interaction to give him to make sure he was comfortable without making him more anxious.

Safety, trust & environment

I pay close attention to my your instructions and preferences since you know your pets and their needs best! I only do drop-ins, however, as I have two cats at home who will not tolerate other pets.

Information Elise A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat(s) has/have any special needs I can accommodate. I'm happy to do whatever I can to make my visits as stress-free for the cat(s) as possible.

A typical day

I love to lounge with the cats I visit. If they want head scritches or belly rubs, I'll give them with reckless abandon. If they just want to lounge, I'm down for that too. If they want to stay away from me the entire time I'm visiting, no hard feelings there. I'll be sure to take photos, though, and I'll try my hardest to get at least one good shot each visit!
