Highlights
Pet care experience
cats vs dogs? I love BOTH
Hello! My name is Elyssa, I'm 24 years old, and am a lover of animals of all kinds. I currently have a two year old Siamese mix named Priscialla, and my family has two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Bentley and Finnegan. I have in-home pet-sitting experience with both dogs and cats, and have been dog-walking since I was a kid. I would love to get to know you and your furry friend a little bit better :)

Safety, trust & environment
My first job is to get to know the animal, give them some space, let them sniff my hand and become familiar with my presence. Maintaining consistent food and water is also a priority. Making sure to visit every 2-4 hours to let dogs out to go the bathroom (and no less — I can't stand to make a dog wait to go to the bathroom). Or cleaning out a litter box daily if it's a cat. If the weather's nice, I believe most dog breeds are benefited from being walked daily. And of course, dedicating at least one hour to playtime, dogs and cats!
Ratings and reviews
Elyssa deserves 10 stars! I could tell she really loves animals. Bonus for taking on our medically needy cats with no issue. Great communication and care, we will definitely rebook for the next time. Thank you so much 🫶🏻
Elyssa has been great with my golden retriever! I have booked her several times now and never have to worry about my dog!
I can’t say more amazing things about Elyssa! She is so good with Finn and so responsive! I have some crazy schedules and she is so flexible and accommodating to make sure Finn gets out! I’m so lucky to have such a great person caring for my pup!
Elyssa V. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Super reliable, good communicator, and great with our puppy!
Elyssa has been so patient with Finn. He is a scared pup who is learning that outside world is something not so scary! I am so grateful that she has been able to get him out for walks!

Schedule
My two year old cat requires a lot of maintenance. I make sure to clean her litter box each day, keep her food and water fresh, and give her plenty of play time before bed each night. It's also important that I vacuum consistently to avoid hairballs, stray litter, and any other cat mess!
