Safety, trust & environment

I will provide the same care and attention to your pets as you do so I ask that you share with me their feeding schedule, any special care they need, behaviors to be aware of, etc. I am very flexible, experienced with providing medication and working with pets with special needs. I want you and your pet to be completely satisfied with the care they receive so that you can have peace of mind while you're away!

Information Elissa C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs so I can know how best to care for them. I want to make sure they feel right at home!

A typical day

I enjoy being active and will provide plenty of opportunity for play time for drop ins! For dog walking, I go at the pace of your dog (some enjoy taking time to stop and sniff everything and others are eager for a power walk!)

Care You Can Count On 🐾

Pet care experience

When you're away from home, you want to have the peace of mind that your fur baby is being well taken care of. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to have a sitter who is trust-worthy, dependable, and who cares for your pet with the same love and attention that they would treat their own. That is what I strive to do with every pet that I care for, and the best things is I love doing it since I have been a life long lover of all animals! **PET EXPERIENCE** I have grown up caring for pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, pet mice, birds, reptiles, fish...you name it!), and since as early as elementary school age, took on the responsibility of feeding our pets, cleaning up after them, walking our dog. In middle school I volunteered to be in charge of training our family pooch in doggy school. Let's just say that our pup NOT being the most well behaved in the class was a bit of an understatement. But by the time the weeks of training were over, I had worked diligently with our pup, and she ended up winning the award for "MOST IMPROVED". I have experience taking care of special needs including providing medication and a special diet since some of my pets have had some medical issues in the past, as well as experience taking care of puppies, and an abandoned kitten from 6 weeks of age. We currently have a mini poodle who enjoys the company of other small to medium sized dogs! **SCHEDULE** I am a stay at home mom, friendly and easy-going and have a flexible schedule to be able to provide dog walking as well as drop ins for your pets. I will 100% work with you on the care that you need for your pet since it's best to try keep them on the same schedule and routine that they are accustomed to. I am happy to do a meet and greet at your home prior to the first drop in or dog walk. 🐾

She’s so great! I booked her super last minute for 4 days for 7 animals and she is so wonderful with them. They all loved her and she always keeps me updated with pictures while I’m gone. I will definitely book her again!

Elissa was wonderful with my cats! I had complete peace of mind during my trip knowing they were in good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly great with animals. I’d absolutely book her again for future pet sitting. I highly recommend!

Elissa was an amazing sitter for our kitties! She was incredibly communicative, prompt, and reliable. Not to mention, I could feel how much she truly cared about Coraline and Toulouse. Elissa even did a video call with us to “meet” and go over details before our trip. We will absolutely be using Elissa again for our cat sitting needs. Thank you Elissa for your genuine care and kindness!

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.
