Dogs rule! Human companion for rent
Pet care experience
I have been Petsitting and house sitting for friends and family for more than 25 years, so I figured, why not make new friends and continue the tradition? It’s one of my greatest joys in life, getting to know and play with new puppers and their people!! I’ve cared for many types and breeds of dogs, cats, and exotic animals (snakes, tortoises, lizards, turtles, tarantulas, exotic fish, etc.) and all types of pet personalities - shy, rambunctious, skittish, lazy, grouchy, energetic, and everything in-between. From trained purebreds to rescues who have been abused or neglected and need special attention, I have worked with and enjoyed them all. I’ve administered meds, cared for sick pups and kitties, and taken my charges to the vet when needed. I could be trained to care for your pigs, goats, sheep, horses, etc. I travel a good deal and understand the importance of being able to have your non-human child well looked after and not have to worry about them while you’re out of town, or even if you’re just at work. I work remotely, so your pet gets potty breaks often, and they have a human around almost all the time. We go for small walks around a delightful neighborhood when desired, or longer walks/hikes on nearby trails if the bigger pups are game. There are no off-limits areas in our house- my pug Napoleon slept *under the covers* in the big bed he believed he owned - but if you have different rules, they will be enforced as dictated. Any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! I am excited to meet you - and your human friends ;)! [Update: unable to provide services for dogs larger than 15lbs until February 2024].
Reviews
Elizabeth is fantastic! Benny really loves her and it puts my mind at ease knowing that he adores her and she him. Elizabeth is great with communication and sends photos. I honestly don’t trust anyone else watching Benny. I highly recommend her!!!
Elizabeth was great. She immediately understood our chihuahua and knew how to handle his eccentricities. She gave us updates and we never felt nervous or worried. A huge relief to know he was in the right hands. Thank you!
Elizabeth was amazing as always!! Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! ❤️
It was a pleasure to meet Elizabeth, very clear and easy communication and she took excellent care of Tanner. Very happy with the experience! Thanks again Elizabeth!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a gated yard in the front but can take little pups on-leash if there’s any concern. There’s also a small potty area in the back yard with a full fence for off-leash outside time. I can accommodate a small crate in my home, if desired. For overnights in your home, an initial meet-n-greet will be required prior to the first engagement to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety.
Home
Information Elizabeth B. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know your dog’s energy level, if they bark/whine when humans are home, and if they have any special needs. If they have separation anxiety and need constant interaction, I’ll only be able to sit for them on weekends.
A typical day
I live in an adorable neighborhood in East Asheville which is perfect for daily exercise. We can play in the house or yard, or find a walking trail, or even just a car ride if the weather is bad or we need some excitement.

Availability
Working remotely from my home office provides plenty of opportunity for potty breaks and puppy love in-between client interactions on the phone. It also allows me to stay full-time in your home with your pets if overnight sits are your preference. All that is needed is an internet connection and a quiet place in your home to work.
