Amazing job. My dogs never even noticed we were gone. They were well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of pet sitting services.

About: I’ve loved animals since a child. I have 2 decades of experience taking care of dogs. I love to give them affection and care for them. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility to care for pets. I am home nearly 90% of the time. Pets are friends! I have a large backyard where I have a temporary fence and enclosed play area for your pets. It is safe and the home is secure. My husband and I work together as we both enjoy working with animals.

About: I’m patient, reliable, and love spending time with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m especially good with shy pets and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’m currently working part time and I’m also a part time student, I’m available weekend mornings from 9am to 12pm, I’m also available Thursday’s after 2pm. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs because I own a big dog myself. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets safe and on their normal routine. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, supervised, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: I care for small, medium and large dogs of all kinds and ages in your home. Senior dogs are welcome, pups too. They will get exercise, playtime and lots of love. I are retired and have 3 dogs. I will walk pets on your property, a park or in town, your/your dog's preference. I have cared for special needs and senior cats and dogs. Will play with puppies and shy or anxious dogs. I treat dogs as they prefer - walking them and playing with them in all kinds of weather if permitted. Rest, recess and running are all important but giving pets attention is a must! I get to know them and build trust as they need.

About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family. My experience includes giant dog breeds (English Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees), livestock (horses, chickens, and goat herds), and exotic reptiles. Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries. In your home: Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry, locking, and alarm instructions to ensure property safety. Zero-Trace Care: I leave your home exactly as I found it, or better, cleaning up all pet waste immediately. Consistency: I mimic your exact feeding, walking, and crating schedules to minimize your pet's separation anxiety. Communication Expert: My lifetime of experience with giant breeds, livestock, and exotics means I actively read body language to prevent stress or conflict, and can quickly soothe an agitated pet. Daily Updates: I send frequent text and photo updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving. Emergency Ready: I keep your preferred vet information on hand and maintain a clear action plan for urgent situations, prioritizing your pets health above all else!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own large dog as well as pets belonging to neighbors, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I'm a mix of energetic and calm, which helps me adapt to whatever a pet needs. Whether that's a fun, active walk or a slow relaxed pace. I’m a college student's home for the summer, which makes my schedule very flexible for your pet's care. I am available most days for walks, drop-ins, and cat visits. I want to make sure each pet is getting my full attention during each visit. The only set times I’m unavailable are Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings from 8:30am to 10:25am while I'm taking a summer course to help with my degree. Outside of that, I’m free to adjust to your pet’s routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I always make safety my top priority. I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you describe it and make sure to double check doors, gates and harnesses before and after every visit to make sure your pet stays safe. I like to keep your home just as you left it, lights, locks, and routines are all respected. I’m also mindful of keeping things clean, especially around food and litter areas. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed and cared for while giving you peace of mind that both your home and your furry family member is in good hands.

Elisa was awesome! She took great care of my cat. Gave me an update on all I could want to know from food intake to the litter box status. She sent the most gorgeous pictures of him while she played with him and getting his stuff together. If she was going to be later than normal on her check in, she gave me a heads up so I wasn’t worried. I will definitely be going to her again for any cat watching needs I have.

April is a pro at this job! She thinks ahead while I-the cat owner - am worried about last minutes things to pack 😊. We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏

Mackenzie was great! We had a meet and greet ahead of the visit and went over our dogs personalities and routines. Today was a visit to see how the dogs responded to Mackenzie when we weren't around, and fortunately that went well. Mackenzie kept us in the loop from the time she headed to our home until the visit was complete, and sent a bunch of really cute pictures of our pups. Scooby is a bit of a nervous dog so we weren't certain how he'd do, but he reportedly responded well. We would definitely have Mackenzie care for our pups again!

Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.

A GREAT Drop In visit. Holli arrvied and Vincent came right up to her. Jules was a bit standoffish, but as soon as he heard the treat bag being shaked, came running and checked Holli out. Deciding she was an acceptable human, allowed himself to get a few strokes and rubs, before backing off. Thank you Holli. We will definitely use your services in the future.
