“My dog is super high anxiety and he was so calm around Lisbeth on the scariest day of the year (4th of July). Normally we can’t leave Richie home alone because of his separation anxiety but with it being the 4th of July, he definitely couldn’t be alone as he is terrified of fireworks. Lisbeth was great and has such a calming energy about her that she was able to keep Richie chill all night long. I would recommend her to literally anyone. She’s great with animals; they just love her and you can tell and she loves them too!!”
“Jessica and Melissa took great care of our two pups. They listened intently to all instructions and went above and beyond with their care. They noticed a small healing wound on our dog’s paw (there before their stay) and applied ointment to it to help it heal. We were provided with daily pictures and written updates. They had a blast, played hard, and made lots of friends on their large property. Would highly encourage others to use them!”
“Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊”
“Linda and Brian have the sweetest dog and my dog just loved them all. He normally is very anxious but he even fell asleep beside Brian and his cute new friend Carmi! I would highly recommend this place!”
“Rebel had a good time and enjoyed having other dogs around him. We usually like to see where our dog sleeps, eats, and plays, but were not allowed inside the sitters home. This was a little disappointing to us but we do understand that it may be disruptive to the other dogs. For that reason, we cannot accurately rate the home environment. We truly appreciate Hope taking care of Rebel while we were away.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. With a range of dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, geckos, chinchillas, and fish. I take pride in knowing animal behaviors and being able to accommodate to all needs from puppies to seniors. I work full time but can work from home when needed. My husband is a stay at home dad. So someone is always at the house or near by. We have a large spacious home, with plenty of space to explore and find comfort. Our backyard is fenced in with a lock on the gate. Our neighborhood has sidewalks and paths and is residential so only local homeowners travel in and out the area. Very quiet and clean neighborhood.
“Leyanna and her family were wonderful to work with! They sent pictures every day which were so cute! They have a beautiful home and nice, large, fenced in backyard so my kids were very happy there. I do plan to use them in the future and I would recommend them to anyone.”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”
“Kevin was a great host for Lily - well prepared for her arrival, sent us updates, and everything went smoothly for pick up. A great option for us to board Lily when needed during our time in Florida!”
“Nicole was great with our pup. She was very responsive with sending info & photos throughout the day. I like that Nicole has two dogs of her own. Our puppy was so happy to have space to run around and loved having friends to keep him company. We would definitely recommend her and looking forward to having her watch Mav again in the future.”
“I think Sammie will hope we go on vacation more often! He was so well taken care of- I felt he was treated like part of the family. Plus, he had the bonus of a playmate to spend his days with. It certainly made our time away more enjoyable, since we didn't worry about him. Thank you so much for the great attention and care. We will absolutely request you again!”
“Joan was incredible. From the moment we arrived Captain felt at home. She took him on walks. Sent us updates with pictures every few hours. We highly recommend her! We will definitely be booking her again.”
“Nancy was great. She gave me updates about my dog pictures and texts. If I called to check up on him, she was able to answer the phone she had toys and was very sweet. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Our little 2 pound, 12 week old puppy stayed with Audrey and Joe for 4 days. He had so much fun playing with their pups. They sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how he was doing. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to use them again when we are in the area.”
“Stacia and her family were so sweet! Ghost was so well taken care of. I was constantly getting funny and cute pictures of my baby, Our dogs got along so well! Ghost will miss you guys! Can’t wait to book again🥰”
“Wow!! Awesome!! I am a Flight Attendant and needed a consistent boarding situation. I tried several different avenues and then came across Lizbeth & Earl. Harley gets very excited when we are getting close to their home and literally jumps into their arms! They treat him as one of their own and continue with his "puppy" training and regular routine. I have been very blessed to have found them! As I travel with my job, it is so nice to get pictures and e-mails of Harley. I am so at ease knowing he is with Lizbeth & Earl ( and of course their pups). If you need a place for your dog. I would HIGHLY recommend Lizbeth and Earl”
