I’m the go-to girl for pet care
Pet care experience
I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set my own schedule so your pet can have my complete attention. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. I can make sure your home is safe along with your pets. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a 3 mile radius - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. If you have any questions, give me a call or drop me a text in advance and we can schedule a meet'n'greet. You are not the only one who must be comfortable with me.
Reviews
Elizabeth is an absolute gem and a blessing to our house hold. I was nervous to return to work full time and have someone come help with her during the long days away. She truly loves and cares about our Zelda girl and it means so much. She consistently goes above and beyond what I thought having a drop in for my pup would look like and we are so grateful. She sends detailed notes about food, water, potty breaks, temperament and more.. I can tell her and Z are the greatest pair! Borh her communication skills and love for fur babies - are unmatched! 10/10 do recommend 💓💓💓
Elizabeth was great! Super attentive and very detailed in her updates. I know our cat was well taken care of with her.
Elizabeth is great! I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I would recommend her to anyone.
I’m not worried, Ladybug will warm up to you. She just pouts when it’s not me. She’ll get to know you better, and I’ll leave some bell peppers for you to give next time, those are a favorite.

For pets who stay with me, I have a large, fenced back yard as well as being backed up to the Nolan Trail for animals who need extra space. I have a private room available for pets who needs to visit me but doesn't want to spend time with the rest of my family. I'm always willing to do drop ins and am bonded/insured so you can be sure I'm safe. I love doing overnight stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given and will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling.
Information Elizabeth B. would like to know about your pet
I love small breeds, I’ve had terriers all my life. But my extended family has had larger breeds - pitties, labs, retrievers, and great big mixed loves - which I have often cared for. Mostly, I need to know what will make your dog feel safe with me. I request a meet’n’greet before I accept any job as I want all of us to feel comfortable. I can fit one in quickly if you are in a hurry, even if it's just so I can get the keys and find the food/treats.. Although I don't have a cat anyone, I love working with them. Litterboxes do not scare me. And I don't care about love-scratches. I keep strings toys on me for most visits and always have a ball just their size. If your cat is especially timid, I can spend an afternoon reading just so they know someone is there You would be amazed how much it helps while you are away. I have petsit birds and rabbits but would love to expand my experiences. Do you have a pet that needs special care? I can do that. Just give me instructions, I will follow them and your pet will be happy at home. But I ask for the name of your vet, your phone number and any health issues your pet may have before you go. I would love to know their favorite toy, place to hide and favorite treat as well. Anything that will make your pet comfortable, I would love to know. Thank you.
A typical day
With my personal dogs, we regularly do chew and chase. We walk the Nolan Trail. My fur babies love tug and squeak and my oldest who is a Jack Russell is trying to dig to China. Both like to chase birds and squirrels with little luck but not for lack of trying. I like to do what each animal prefers so expect questions about their favorite activities at our meet'n'greet. Please ask if it would be better to book walks, visits, or overnight stay. Each provides a defined level of care. Please feel free to ask. Your pets will dictate what is needed. I will work with all of you - four legged and two. For your dog, Ill try to keep it in their comfort zone. I can be their blanket or hill to climb. We can also just have a nice quiet walk and explore. We can stay with your routine or visit the dog park. What works for your furry family member? I can do it.

Availability
This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy and a privilege. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be a help. I answer text and calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My sleep in day is Monday if I do not have furry friends to visit.
