Elissa was a wonderful sitter for my 2 cats! I’ll call her again!
Elissa has shown an affinity to animals for a long time. She's had a multitude of relationships with animals of all kinds. At an earlier stage, horseback riding was an education in the care of these imposing creatures. By caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats to dogs to raccoons, possums, and, with caution, a skunk Elissa is familiar with many habits and behaviors in all manner of circumstances,. Actually, any wildlife or domestic activity that she observes and reacts to is because of her caring nature.
We've known Elissa for a while and knew she was an animal lover, but when we asked her to watch over our cats while we were out of town for a few weeks, we didn't realize how above and beyond she would go! Not only did she handle the basics wonderfully (food/water/litterbox) but she also went out of her way to get new cat toys and clipped nails. We returned to happy cats, and the toys continue to entertain us all weeks later. If you need someone to watch over your pets, I can't recommend Elissa more :)
Elissa is amazing with taking care of my two cats. One is a giant squishmellow. The other one however, can be a bit spicy. Especially with new people. Elissa was so sweet and patient while building trust with him. I never have to worry when I leave my pets in Elissa's care. She is honest, reliable, kind, and approved by my two boys. Highly recommended.
