Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and Flexible Pet Lover!
I have extensive experience caring for dogs and cats professionally and personally for the past decade. I have taken care of dogs and cats overnight in their homes, for drop-in visits, and provided walking services. I ensure high-quality attention and care for all animals' needs. I offer compassionate, reliable support for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments-including administering medications and managing health needs. I have a cat of my own with medical needs, so I understand how important it is to tailor care to each animal's unique personality and routine. I prioritize consistent, thoughtful, and reliable communication with families and their animals I provide high-quality care for. I have also lived with a German Shepherd and a mini Alaskan Klee Kai, both as puppies and into young adult-dog-hood. I regularly cared for an older Sheep Dog, and grew up on a farm with dogs of many kinds. I also cared for a family friend’s two cats for two years, and regularly cat-sat for friends. Looking to help care for your amazing animal & learn some more dog & cat puns along the way! I am a fast learner, very approachable and caring, and currently in school for a PhD in Behavioral Sciences and Health Promotion, and looking for some extra work that I enjoy! Thanks for your consideration.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet and home as if they were my own—lovingly, responsibly, and with great attention to detail. I follow all care instructions precisely, ensure pets feel safe, loved, happy, and well-exercised, and keep the home clean and secure. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize the well-being of the animals and the trust of their owners. I also provide regular updates and photos to families, and I’ve learned to tailor the frequency and style of communication to each family’s preferences—whether that means a few check-ins or frequent photo updates. Your peace of mind is important to me and I strive to meet the communication preferences of each person I provide care for.
Ratings and reviews
Elysia was amazing, she took great care of our cats while we were away. It was clear that they warmed up to her quickly and that she gave them lots of enrichment and play. I would definitely book with her again!
Elysia was great with our puppy - he enjoyed going on walks with her. She also played with him and he enjoyed the attention.
Elysia took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town. She is super friendly & I completely trusted her with my dog while I was away. Thank you, Elysia!!
Elysia was the perfect sitter for our three babies. She communicated with us throughout the entire day and really made us feel safe about leaving our girls with her. What a gift to find a sitter that fits with your pups routine so well. We truly appreciate it. Would recommend Elysia 10/10!!
Elysia has been my dog sitter many times in the past few years. Both me and my pup trust her completely, she always sends me updates, and I know my dog always has a blast with her.
Elysia is one of my oldest and closest friends and I have always known her to be a caring and responsible lover of animals. She has cared for my pets as well as my family's pets countless times over the years and has done an exceptional job every time. I always left and came home knowing that my animals were well taken care of.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule with a lot of free time to care for your animal(s), as I am engaged in research work for my graduate program at part time currently. I like to be outside and spend time with animals, and have a lot of flexibility with when I can do this during the morning, day, or evening.
