“Elizabeth was fantastic with our dogs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. We returned from our trip and found our animals were happy and well cared for. Elizabeth went above and beyond and made sure our dogs had comfort during fireworks which typically cause them to have high anxiety. I’ll definitely book with them again!”
“McKenzie was fantastic and took care of our two cats while we were away. She went the extra mile and even swept up the litter they were tracking through the house. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Absolute pleasure to work with and takes great care of my three cats who all come to greet them each day. Takes photos of each cat and lets me know if there's any problems or concerns. The only sitter I will use!”
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
About: I have had 3 dogs and 8 cats throughout my life. As well as rescuing 6 cats and 1 dog from around my county. I love impacting a pets life and giving them the love and care they deserve. I love taking care of all breeds and sizes of animals! I am currently a student and have a few side jobs which makes it easy for me to schedule. I am very flexible with times and dates. I like to get as much information about the pets as I can, including any illnesses/ health issues, favorite toys, favorite food, and any other activities they enjoy. Each animal is different and has their own personality and I think it’s important to take that in account while taking care of them. I have no issues taking care of pets with health or emotional issues, whether this means giving them medication or being aware of activities that can upset or help them.

I can also do solo walks if that is better suited. I have a crate available if you require. Always have water available.
