Pet care experience

Cats are my whole world!

Ever since I was a little girl helping my Grammie scoop her cat's litter box, I knew that my love for cats and special connection with them was going to be a very important part of my life! I have plenty of volunteer experience with all types of cats. I recently spent a year volunteering at a cat rescue weekly, cleaning the shelter and giving plenty of love to the cats and kittens. In the past I've also volunteered at a municipal shelter, socializing young kittens and making them comfortable in their environment. I have plenty of experience with cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I can administer oral medication as well. I'm also a proud sister to two cats who have my entire heart! I can't imagine my life without cats, and I would love the opportunity to get to know yours!

Safety, trust & environment

While I can't currently care for cats in my home due to my own pack, I am happy to provide drop-in visits in a client’s home. I am cleanly, courteous, and trustworthy and pride myself in not only taking care of the animal itself, but also the environment they are most comfortable in. I have excelled in consistently keeping a clean and happy environment for my two rabbits, and I am willing and able to utilize those skills to assist in many aspects of cat-related housekeep and maintenance.

Elyse has been incredible!! She’s so sweet and is great with all of our cats who tend to be on the shy side. She manages time efficiently where she’s able to feed, care, and play with them each, accordingly. I definitely plan on rebooking with her in the future and recommend her to everyone on this app!

We’re so grateful we connected with Elyse! We successfully went on two trips and Elyse cared for our cat while we were away. She sent detailed updates and shared photos of him daily. It was so reassuring knowing our cat was in great hands and we were able to have stress-free trips. We look forward to working together again!

Schedule

I am so excited to return to Rover after a brief hiatus! I currently work part time, from 9-3 Mondays through Fridays and the occasional Saturday. I am typically free all day after 3pm and can be available prior to 9am as well - please feel free to ask and I will try my best to adapt to your schedule! I also offer late night availability most weekdays and some weekends. I am always more than happy to fit any cat into my day!

Cats
Elyse can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if your cat has any dietary restrictions or medical needs so I can ensure they are receiving safe and proper care.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
