About Elizabeth C.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment where they feel safe. I follow all instructions exactly as provided and treat your home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. What I Do in Your Home • Stick to your pet’s routine — feeding times, walks, playtime, and bedtime are followed exactly as instructed. • Provide calm, attentive companionship — whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or quiet company, I match their energy and needs. • Keep your home tidy and respected — I clean up after pets, maintain litter boxes or outdoor potty areas, and leave your home just as I found it. • Monitor behavior and well‑being — I pay close attention to body language, appetite, energy levels, and any changes that might need your attention. • Send consistent updates — you’ll receive clear communication, photos, and honest notes so you always know how your pet is doing. Additional Care You Can Expect • Administering oral medications if needed • Supporting shy, anxious, or rescue pets with patience and gentle handling • Maintaining multi‑pet household dynamics safely • Extra enrichment like play sessions, brushing, or outdoor time (as allowed)
Information Elizabeth C. would like to know about your pet
I always like to learn as much as possible about your pet before caring for them so I can keep their routine consistent and make them feel completely comfortable. It’s helpful to know their daily schedule, feeding instructions, favorite activities, and any quirks or behaviors you want me to be aware of. I also ask about medical needs, medications, allergies, mobility concerns, and anything that might cause stress or anxiety. Understanding how they communicate—what excites them, what worries them, and what comforts them—helps me tailor my care to their personality. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can support your pet and keep them happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away.
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and comfortable by tailoring activities to their personality and routine. For energetic pets, that might look like play sessions with their favorite toys, fetch, or fun sniff‑and‑explore time outside. Curious pets enjoy enrichment like treat puzzles, snuffle mats, or slow, sensory‑rich walks. Cuddly or calm companions get plenty of cozy downtime, gentle brushing, and relaxed companionship. For cats, I offer interactive play with wand toys, laser pointers, or feather chases, along with quiet window‑watching time and respectful attention for shy or independent kitties. No matter the pet, I always match their energy, follow their routine, and keep activities safe, comforting, and enjoyable.

Reliable Dog Sitting You Can Trust
Pet care experience
I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My approach is calm, patient, and safety‑focused, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and understood while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart • Experienced with all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require gentle handling, medication reminders, and a slower pace. • Strong communication — I keep owners updated with detailed messages, photos, and honest observations so you always know how your pet is doing. • Behavior‑aware care — I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, and routines to help pets feel secure and supported. • Clean, organized, and respectful — I treat your home and your pets with the same care I’d want for my own. Special Skills • Puppy routines (crate training basics, potty schedules, positive reinforcement) • Senior dog support (mobility assistance, patience with slower movement, comfort‑focused care) • Administering oral medications • Experience with shy, anxious, reactive, or rescue dogs who need extra reassurance • Maintaining feeding, walking, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed

Reviews
Elizabeth did a great job with Cooper and sent me pictures daily and updates. Cooper loved having her with him and I would definitely recommend & rebook her as a pet sitter in the future!
We got daily photos and Dante seemed well taken care of when we returned home. Great Communication! Would book again.
Elizabeth was great with our dog and cat! She sent updates and pictures so we could enjoy our time away and know our animals were well taken care of!
