Pet care experience

I have been around pets since I was a child! I have frequently housesat and cared for a chow shepherd mix for several days at a time. I have cared for dogs of all different sizes for years- including feeding, brushing, teaching commands, walking, playing, and keeping them company. More recently, I lived with a sick elderly Russian Blue cat who I cared for for several years. She required frequent vet visits, special IV injections that I learned to give her, and strict diet restrictions for her disease. Alongside these specialized care instructions, I of course also fed her, played with her, brushed her, cleaned out her litter, and spent lots of time and cuddles with her. I have a PhD in chemistry but beyond science, I love cats and dogs (and all animals) and would love to help you take care of your beloved furry friends! I am responsible, detail-oriented, and a loving caregiver. I am also flexible with the rate and am happy to negotiate!

Thank you, Elise for taking such good care of my cat and home. You made it possible for me to be able to focus on assisting my mom in her recovery and not have to worry about my baby.

Elise was a great sitter who really listened and followed my instructions for taking care of my dog. During our meet and greet, Elise was comfortable interacting with my dog and my dog really enjoyed playing with her too. Elise sent me picture updates during the walk and I can tell my dog had fun with her too. I would definitely recommend booking Elise's services!

My dogs mean the world to me & leaving them is always a little nerve-racking so finding someone I can trust & rely on for their safety & care means everything. Elise instantly put me at ease from the moment I met her. I was immediately impressed by her careful attention to detail & thoughtfulness as I went over all the instructions for my 2 dogs. I felt comfortable knowing my girls were in capable, caring hands. She is trustworthy, professional, and very considerate. She had great communication & updates with adorable photos of my pups. We returned to our home in perfect condition, and healthy, happy dogs. I am so grateful to have found Elise & I highly recommend her!

Elise did a fantastic job dogsitting Athena! She was very responsive, gave daily updates (with pictures). She even took time meet Athena before I traveled, and to learn some commands. I had a complete peace of mind during my trip and Athena was sad to let her go. I would definitely recommend Elise, and book her again, 💯.

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.
