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!

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.

Information Elyse P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

As long as your cat is happy, I’m happy! Whether they’re content cuddling on the couch or whether they want to chase around their toys, I am more than willing to adapt to what your cat wants to do in order to make their visit as enjoyable and enriching as possible. I pride myself on providing efficient, thorough care to ensure that I’m able to spend as much time as possible making your cat happy and comfortable while you’re away!

Cat care experience

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!

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!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely wonderful experience. She went above and beyond in every way — took out the trash, fully changed the litter weekly, and showed incredible respect for our home and house rules. Everything was kept clean, organized, and exactly as requested. Most importantly, she was so loving, attentive, and gentle with Bebe. I felt completely at ease knowing both my home and my cat were in such good hands. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
