Flexible Dog and Cat Caretaker

Hello! My name is Elissa. I have always loved and cared for animals. I grew up taking care of my own cats and dogs at home and can provide any kind of care needed. I currently have a puppy of my own and can do overnight visits as long as he can come with! I will treat every animal with respect and love! I am very organized, punctual, and hard working. I have watched family and friends pets over night while house sitting, and I have also cared for animals with specific medical necessities and concerns. I am very active and love taking walks at my apartments river walk and love visiting dog parks with my mom and her two dogs who I watch whenever she is out of town. I will keep every owner updated throughout stays and am easily accessible through phone call or text. Give me a call with any questions! I’m happy and very excited to meet your sweet cat or pup!

Elissa is dependable and always willing to help us out! I know Murray appreciates getting out of the crate during the day!

Elissa took care of our older cat for the weekend and did a great job. She showed up on time, followed directions, and communicated regularly. I’d definitely book her again if she’s available when we need a cat sitter.

Elissa did a great job taking care of our somewhat skittish cats. They quickly warmed up to her and started greeting her at the door. We greatly appreciated that she communicated with us on a regular basis, and felt confident that our girls were well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Elissa as our pet sitter going forward.

I have no preference! I would love to know if the cat or dog have any special dietary needs, and if they are comfortable around other animals. I wouldn’t want to make a pup feel uncomfortable at a dog park.
