“This was my first time having Tommy puppy sit for us while we went to a surprise party. Our baby is 3 months old. He took wonderful care of him and sent lots of pictures. Our puppy was happy and very well cared for. Thank you Tommy!”
About: I have grown up with cats my whole life, I currently have two orange tabby’s named Dobby and Louise. As a teen we rescued a greyhound and took him for walks and loved to cuddle with him. During the pandemic, I started dog walking for those who were deemed essential workers around my neighborhood. I wanted to help those who were helping us during such confusing times. I work full-time, but I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me the flexibility to have even more time with your pet! I’m great at making accommodations. I’d like to have a quick conversation with you first, to make sure I know the do’s and don’t you’ve implemented for you pet. If they are still learning commands, I want to be able to reinforce them with the proper words. I always like to carry extra poo bags with me on walks because I don’t want to leave any mess behind.
“Liz was great with only fur baby! She kept me updated with how Luna was doing throughout the day and sent pictures!! Looking forward to leaving Luna with Liz again, knowing she will be in greats hands!!”
About: Life is simply better with a dog by your side—especially a big one! As a lifelong dog advocate, I believe every pup deserves to feel as safe, happy, and loved with me as they do with you. I know how important consistency is for your dog’s well-being. Whether it is meal times, walks, or naps, I will stick to their usual schedule to make your absence as smooth as possible. Fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs, or just couch cuddles—your dog’s idea of fun is my idea of a great day! However they love to play, I am all in. Having loved and lost my own soul-dog, I understand the trust you place in a sitter. My goal is to be that reliable, caring presence so you can relax knowing your pup is in devoted hands. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family—with patience, enthusiasm, and deep respect for their needs—let’s chat! Flexible in such that I can arrange other duties around the needs of clientele. I will try my absolute best to mend any scheduling conflicts for last minute needs as well. My default is in-home pet sitting because I believe a familiar environment reduces stress and keeps routines intact—which means a happier pup! That said, I always prioritize the individual needs of each pet and family. After meeting you and your dog, we will decide together what works best, whether that is staying in their home or another arrangement. My goal is simple: your pet’s comfort and safety, no matter where that takes us!
