Safety, trust & environment

When walking, I prefer to stick to safer, not as busy, roads when I can. I also like to change the scenery with different sidewalks, parks, or beaches, and I am open to suggestions or personal favorite locations.

Information Elise U. would like to know about your pet

let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, treatment, or preferences. I will work to do all I can to accommodate for anything your pet may need. I have experience working as a veterinary assistant so I feel comfortable administering medication and providing basic at home care if alerted ahead of time.

A typical day

I always want to make sure your pets are following a routine as close to what they are used to as possible. I love to stay active and am open to walks and indoor/outdoor playtime with any animal. However, I’m open also open to suggestions and doing what you, as the owner, feel will provide the least stress and most fun.

I hired Elise for drop-in visits when my current pet sitter wasn't available at a certain time for my vacation. Elise quickly got back to me and found a way to make it work. She was an absolute lifesaver! I have a special-needs diabetic cat, and Elise immediately put me at ease. She took extra time to prepare beforehand, asked questions, and welcomed me walking her through our routine on day one. She was incredibly sweet, gentle, and comfortable handling Cheeto’s insulin injections, blood glucose meter, and liquid oral medication. She followed every detailed care instruction, including monitoring blood glucose safety thresholds before administering insulin and using appetite toppers when needed. She never rushed her visits, spent quality time sitting with Cheeto, and left detailed, reassuring visit notes. She even thoughtfully returned Cheeto’s care guide at the end. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience on Rover. Thank you, Elise! :)

Elise was wonderful with Hanna and sent great feedback with pictures. She was always punctual and a great communicator as well. I would definitely work with 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.
