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.

Absolutely amazing. She treated my cat like one of her own and kept me up to date at every step. I could not recommend her more. I’m pretty sure my cat likes her more than me now.

Elissa was an amazing sitter. She always made sure to give me updates about my cats. My cats are normally a little stand offish but with Elissa, they loved her and instantly fell in love with her. She went over and beyond to ensure they were well taken care of and that the place was kept how I left it. She also ensured to send me plenty of videos and photos, as well as status updates on how they are doing. 100% would recommend Elissa as a sitter.
