Safety, trust & environment

I always start by learning your pet's routine, preferences, and quirks so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible for them. Whether it's sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping up with walks and playtime, or just being there for cozy hangout time, I follow their lead. I'm great about communication. You'll get regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. And if anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll let you know right away. Whether I'm caring for your pet at your home or just swinging by for a walk, my focus is the same: keeping your pet safe, happy, and well-loved until you're reunited. 🐾

Pet care experience

Listen, I've basically run a zoo my entire life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, birds, fish, chickens, you name it! Right now I have a sweet black kitty cat and a self-important chihuahua and let me tell you, keeping multiple personalities happy is my superpower. Your pet is about to get SO much love and attention. We're talking belly rubs, treats (with your permission, obviously), and someone who can make them feel so special and loved while you're away! I can do medication schedules, I can do endless fetch, I can do "please just sit next to me while I exist" whatever your baby needs.

Elissa is an excellent caretaker for her furry friends and has taken care of my cats on a regular basis. Her care for animals is clear when you meet her, but the cat and dog toys tucked lovingly into the corners of their home provide further evidence for those lucky enough to meet her pets. She takes excellent care of her cat, Squid, and dog, Limon. As a pet sitter, she took excellent care of our cats. She was timely, sent plenty of photos, followed the instructions to a tee, and asked questions if she noticed anything with our cats or had questions about how to handle something. We felt at ease knowing that our pets were in the capable hands of someone who cared as deeply for animals as we do. Seeing the videos of our often aloof or scared cats coming running to the door and looking for treats and pets from Elissa showed that she really took the time to connect with them. I highly recommend Elissa as a professional, friendly, and animal-loving pet sitter.

This is the only person I've trusted to take care of my dog and cat for the past 7 years. She loves animals and treats them as one would a person. My pets love her and look forward to me leaving so she can take care of them. I highly recommend Elissa to be your petsitter.
