I've been bringing my pets to Elisha for years, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her compassionate care. She treats every animal as if they were her own. Highly recommend!

§ 03Meet Elisha

It started with a single act of compassion

As a teenager, Elisha's instinct to help animals was sparked when she rushed to aid a cat that had been hit by a car. That pivotal moment ignited a lifelong passion for animal welfare. She started at 16 as a kennel technician and receptionist, became a veterinary technician by 18, and continues that mission today — extending care to pets both within and beyond the clinic with a team of experienced vet technicians.

Buster — my little Chimix — was diagnosed with diabetes and my work schedule is a challenge. Sunny Paws stepped in. The techs are focused and caring; they're assisting me with injections three times a week.

Diabetic care · boarding
Lucy and Ethel run to the door to Marisha and team when we arrive for boarding. I was referred by a vet after Ethel became diabetic and needed twice-daily insulin shots. They've boarded over a dozen times since.

Boarding · diabetic
Couldn't ask for more from a pet sitting team. Elisha did a drop-in for one of my aunt's cats who requires injections for diabetes management. I don't know what I would've done without her!
