Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover since I was born!
I am blessed to have grown up in an animal lover family where pets were viewed as another family member. I am a former kindergarten teacher for over a decade and hold innate qualities that are transferable when caring for pets. :) Patient, caring, and warm-hearted! I grew up in a rural area where I was always surrounded by both domestic and wild animals: cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, horses, chickens, hamsters, birds, and more including most recently black bears! One of the current pictures from my profile includes a black bear that stopped by for a "visit" and snack on our apples from our apple trees. :)

Ratings and reviews
Elissa was amazing! Extremely responsive, responsible, attentive and sweet to my dog Sadie. I would work with her again any time!
Excellent and responsible care for our pup! Thank you!
We highly recommend Elissa. My husband and I were nervous to leave our dog because she has separation anxiety when we are gone for more than a few hours. Elissa was super accommodating of our dog. She also sent updates with pics. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Mable was in good hands. Best part was we came home to a happy pup! Since then we have used Elissa multiple times and have been consistently impressed by her dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals.
Elissa has pet sat for me numerous times. She is so loving, caring, responsible and reliable and will treat your pet like it's her own. Her patience and connection with animals is amazing. I've had pet sitters in the past but Elissa is truly by far the best, which is why I've used her more times than I can keep track of. I'm positive she will be your favorite pet sitter!!
I always have Elissa take care of my 2 dogs when I’m away. She is very reliable and accommodating. She’s great with them and they love her! She takes them on walks and spends quality time playing with them. They especially love when she cuddles with them.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work remotely so I have flexibility during my lunch when I take a break to let your pet out! In addition, provide company to them.

- Every animal just like us humans have our own comfort routines, especially when there is a change. It is important for me to know ahead of time of any special needs/habits that would allow them to feel as comfortable as possible while you are gone.
