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!

Loving, affordable cat care

Cat 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)! Here are a few reasons I think you should consider working with 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.

Took great care of our cats! Elise was communicative and followed our instructions. The cats were happy, clean and well fed.

Elise provided excellent care for our cat while we were out of town for 7 days. She is kind, professional, and communicative, and we came home to a happy cat who enjoyed lots of love and attention while we were away.

This was Elise’s second time watching our cat and we’re grateful she could. She communicates promptly and clearly and takes wonderful care of our pet, with individualized attention, is respectful of any details, and sends fantastic reports and photos.

Elise was a great sitter for our cat! She was responsible, timely, friendly, and interested when we did a pre-meet, and she took great care of our cat during the home visits. She was mindful of our instructions and preferences, and she wrote useful and informative notes each time.

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.
