Pet care experience

Registered Veterinary Nurse

I am a retired registered veterinary nurse and have over 8 years of experience taking care of pets. I love taking care of neighbor pets and giving them extra snuggles when their owners are away. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. As a shelter nurse intern and foster dog mom, I loved working with shy, nervous, elderly and special needs pets. I am able to medicate pets as well when you are away. I would love to take care of your pets as if they were my own. I have trained as a marathon runner in the past so I love taking animals for walks or runs.

Can't say enough good things about Elissa. You can tell she loves her job and the animals she cares for. I can always relax when I'm away knowing that she's taking great care of my mischievous ones at home.

Elissa clearly loves her job and is so very good at it. One of my cats actually cried a little bit after she left last time she was here, so I know they love her right back.

Elissa was fantastic with my two teenage kittens with oodles of energy. She updated me daily and everything went so smoothly. I can't thank her enough for allowing me to relax knowing my pets were being taken care of so well at home.

We have rebooked Elissa multiple times for drop-in visits on our dogs when we are away and she is awesome! She gives us peace of mind in knowing our puppies are getting the best care. We are so thankful to have found someone we can trust!
