Pet care experience
I love all animals. I used to be very involved in animal rescue so I live with 11 animal "roommates" at the moment. They are 10 cats and 1 box turtle. I miss having a dog so this is a great opportunity to get some "dog time" in while also providing a service. I am reliable and honest. Animals are like family to me so I will treat your dogs and cats as if they were my own. How empty our lives would be without animals in our homes. Please feel free to ask any questions. I volunteered at Manhattan Beach Animal Hospital for about a year so I have experience dealing with all types of animals. Why I love dog sitting I've loved animals all my life. I wanted to be a veterinarian when I was very young. I have always lived with dogs and cats except for college and a few years when I lived in Mexico and New York. My animals are all rescues. I have been volunteering for Best Friends (No Kill Los Angeles) since June 2013. I have visited and volunteered at their sanctuary in Kanab, Utah twice. It's a breathtaking place where rescued birds, wild animals, dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and pigs live. I go to NKLA weekly to walk dogs and socialize cats. My experience administering medication Yes. I am a human physician by training and have volunteered in a veterinarian's office so I am very comfortable.
Reviews
Elissa took great care of our cat and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She spent time playing with him and sent plenty of photos each visit. We were very impressed with her! Thank you!!
We love having Elissa look after our cat, Ash. And we know Ash loves it too :) On a short trip we arranged for Elissa to just drop by just once a day to feed and give Ash an hour of cuddles. On a longer vacation we had her stay overnight to keep Ash company. Elissa sends updates and photos of Ash every night - which our girls love. She also waters our plants, and takes out the garbage - which makes my husband very happy :) Then she washes the sheets and towels before she departs, and always leaves our home spotless. We could not recommend Elissa more highly.
A rescue colleague of mine, Elissa is one of the most caring individuals I have met. Knowledgeable and responsible, she goes above and beyond for the animals in her care. And her place is right along Manhattan Beach, what a perfect spot for a dog walk!
