Pet care experience

I love dogs, cats + communication!

In addition to years of professional pet sitting, I've been an “auntie” for friends' and family members' pets for years while caring for my own dogs and cats. "Good communication" is mentioned often in my client reviews. My detailed visit reports, multiple photos, and timely responses bring peace of mind to pet owners while they're traveling or working.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My husband Rob and I have two indoor cats. They're brothers who were feral as kittens and are doing wonderfully now, but are still quite skittish. For this reason, I'm not offering day care or boarding services at this time. DOGS: Though I currently have no dogs at home, my family and I have had several high-energy, playful large dogs over the years: Labs, Boxers, and large mutts. I've cared for dogs of all sizes, from toy breeds up through Huskies, Newfoundlands, and Great Danes, and from puppies to elderly dogs. CATS: I'm very accustomed to interacting with cats of all levels of energy and sociability. From the shy ones who hide in the basement and just want their dinner on time, to the love nuggets who purr and play non-stop — I adore them all!

Elise was absolutely amazing for my work trip. Tons of pictures, and updates. She even fixed my pet camera that got knocked over for me and really went above and beyond. Thank you so much (:

Elise does the best jobs with comments - they’re funny, sweet stories about what your pet is up to during the visits 🙂

Schedule

I've been privileged to make petsitting my full-time job since October 2021. After starting very part-time, pet sitting has gradually grown into full-time work for me.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Elise can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Special needs and preferences are key for me to understand and account for. How your dog reacts to other leashed dogs, people on the street, etc. are also very important factors to know in advance. Regarding any training that's underway: Is it fine to just walk, or would you like your dog to have some practice with sit/stay/heel/etc.?
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.
