About: I am a self-employed, stay-at-home mom who LOVES animals of all kinds, from bearded dragons to Bernese Mountain dogs, parakeets to Pekingese. Our current fuzzy companions include our Great Pyrenees, Rocky; two cats, Mrs. Kitty and Portland and 4 Peking ducks. Past menageries have includes chinchillas, hamsters, rabbits, rats, dogs, cats, parakeets, tarantulas and lizards. My husband and I have three girls, ages 3, 9 and 14, that I seem to have passed the animal obsession bug to. We have a huge property with a creek out front, so there is plenty of room right outside our door for exercise. We’d love to watch whatever you have, and will spoil them rotten with attention. We are athletic, outdoorsy people, so if you are looking for a dog walker, we would love to help out! We are happy to pick up and drop off as needed, and would love to help out with whatever you may need! We have two cats, four ducks and a dog, so I'm very used to caring for animals. Working your fur baby into our routine will be a pleasure! Your pet will be treated as our own and smothered with attention from our kids :) If you have any specific needs, please let me know! I can administer meds.

“We hired Elizabeth to petsit our cat who was injured and needed medication. She was able to help last minute and stay in our home with our fur baby to continue his treatment. She gave him all his meds on time and treated our home with respect. To add a constructive note I would suggest that the communication while sitting could improve. Overall Elizabeth is a good sitter and would recommend!”

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs and cats of all sizes. I also am attentive to watering plants, watching out for deliveries, and checking mail. I keep the house neat and orderly just as I would have found it. I also am quiet and would be respectful if there are neighbors. I work remotely full-time, Monday through Friday, which fits well with pet sitting as I would be readily available while I work, and my current hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. I can take breaks frequently to walk pets and do all that is needed. I read instructions carefully left and adhere to all that is needed for each pet. I am glad to ask questions when those arise, and I also at times may take a picture of the pet to send to show how content each pet is and that they are doing well.
