I’ll love your pet like my own

Pet care experience

I grew up with my family breeding Dachshunds. So it’s safe to say I’ve been around dogs all my life. My first job was at an animal hospital. I’ve got 4 years of work experience in a clinical setting working with all types of animals. Now I’ve been in human healthcare for 20+ years. I’m comfortable with all breeds and ages of animals. I have experience with giving medications and senior care. My own dog passed away a year ago now, he was 13. He is the reason I do this. I have so much love to give but I am just not ready to get another dog of my own. I do have two cats so I would consider myself well versed in the specific needs of cats. I am just really excited to meet new fur friends and their families. I’m very trustworthy and will treat your pet like my own while in my care.

Elyssa was amazing. She was in time, kept me informed and took very good care of my babies. Both pups were very relaxed and comfortable around her. Definitely will book again next time I’m in town! Thank you! Tina

Elyssa was wonderful! I received daily pictures and updates as to how my animals were doing. And I appreciated both. It made my vacation much more relaxing, not to have to worry about my babies while I was gone. I would highly recommend Elyssa and I will be using her again.

Elyssa watched Triton for 8 nights while we were out of the state on vacation. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful towards us and our dog. We would get daily updates with photos and she was always super prompt to respond whenever I would message her. She went above and beyond to make sure that Triton got in all of his cuddles and was feeling relaxed while we were away. Knowing that Triton was in great hands really made us not stress about him at all while we were away! So grateful for her!

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.
