Dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a passion for the well-being of animals. Three years of dedicated service at Manhattan cat shelter, City Critters. Previous healthcare experience as a currently licensed radiologic technologist. I’ve been a pet-parent to cats, dogs, reptiles, and birds :) Cat shelter duties: - Administered medication and adhered to specific dietary requirements as needed. - Followed care plans to meet the individual needs of different animals, ensuring their comfort and happiness. - Assisted in the daily operations of a cat shelter, including cleaning, feeding, and socializing with cats. - Participated in adoption events and provided information to potential adopters, contributing to successful placements. - Collaborated with veterinary staff to monitor and address the health and well-being of sheltered cats. I have provided attentive and compassionate care for various pets, including feeding, grooming, and exercise routines. I have the ability to handle and interact with various animal species safely, and to administer medications and follow specific care instructions.

Ratings and reviews
Elissa has great communication and has been reliable for me and little sister multiple times. She takes extra time and care for my kitties.
Luna was extremely well cared for and had such a fun time with Elissa! I loved the many pictures and updates!
Elissa went above and beyond caring for our two cats.
Elissa was exceptional and took her time to give extra loving to my kitties, especially my senior cat Bobbles. She’s great with communication and was easy to work with overall. :)
Elissa is an amazing sitter, who constantly ensures that she is providing the best service possible. She is great at communicating of there is any issues or if she has any questions. She is extremely great with cats and always ensures she is being patient and gentle with them.
I adore Elissa. I felt nervous at first having a new person watch my boys, but after a meet and greet (that ended up with us just talking, laughing and sharing stories for 2+ hours) I knew we made the right choice. She was fun, kind and professional. She has a lot of knowledge on cats and cat/pet care and went above and beyond to care for my cats. She extended her drop ins to ensure everyone (including my difficult to feed guy) was happy and had a full tummy. She spoiled my sons with lots of tasty treats and provided many updates and pictures. I can't say enough positive things about her and highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babes.
