Pet care experience

Owner away? I walk, sit, and play!

I have over a decade of experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities, including my own pets growing up: Fletch, Belle, Mocha, Pedro, and Nugget. Neighbors and friends have trusted me on many occasions to walk, feed, and play with their pets while they’re away. When it comes to your beloved furry family members, I can guarantee open communication and reliability to keep your time away from home stress-free.

Elissa was fantastic. She communicated well, and was flexible as my schedule changed. The dogs enjoyed her visits so much they didn't really even care when I got home. LOL. Will definitely use Elyssa again in the future!

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter for Bella, Luna, and Charles. From the start, she was professional, attentive, and clearly cared deeply about my pets’ well-being—but what truly set her apart was how she handled an unexpected situation. One of my cats had a mishap while I was away, and she went completely above and beyond. She handled everything with such care, patience, and compassion, keeping me informed while also taking the initiative to make sure my pets were comfortable, clean, and safe. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing someone so capable and thoughtful was there. On top of that, Bella and Luna were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved when I returned, and Charles was in great spirits too. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but she made it effortless. I am incredibly grateful and would absolutely book her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
