🗓️ For pet/house sits, I provide dedicated overnight care in your home so your pets can feel comfortable in their own environment while you are away. I will enjoy spending my evenings playing with your pets, or we can snuggle together and watch a dog or cat-friendly flick on Netflix! . My schedule is flexible, but a few days a week I step out for mid-morning local errands and appointments that take no more than 5 or 6 hours maximum. Outside of those hours, your pets will have my full attention. Because I run an online business part-time, I will often be working on my laptop right at your home while your pup snoozes at my feet or your cat snuggles on my lap. . I'm also available for dog walking and drop ins from 9am to 7pm to check on your cuties and take care of their needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are my top priorities. Over 12 pet owners have rated me 5 stars (on another platform... see photos)) and praised me for providing trustworthy and safe care as well as keeping their homes clean and respected. . When house sitting, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked at all times, food and hazards are kept out of reach, and dogs are always kept on a secure leash during walks. I’m highly observant of any changes in a pet's energy or appetite, and I keep owners updated daily with photos and messages. Please view screenshots of my verified reviews directly in my photo gallery! =) . For peace of mind, I highly recommend an in-person Meet & Greet before our first scheduled service. This helps establish a great rapport between us and, most importantly, between me and your pets. That way, I’m already a familiar face to your fur babies when I arrive for the sit, and we can start off on the right paw!

Information Elizabeth Q. would like to know about your pet

During our Meet & Greet, I’d like to know about each of your pet’s routine, diet, temperament, likes, dislikes, favorite activities, any health issues or medications/ supplements, any special needs, accommodations, quirks, anxiety, behavioral concerns etc. so I can know how best to interact with your pet and if they need anything to make them feel comfortable while their favorite human(s) are away! Also vet information, just in case. . I'm great at following instructions/manuals for care, so any information that you deem pertinent, I’m happy to learn about and follow. . For a pet / house sit, I’d like to know how best to care for your home, how to keep it safe and what to do in case of an emergency.

A typical day

Depending on the time we have together and the service you booked me for, I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular routine or mix it up if they want some adventure. We could go for a neighborhood speed walk, or poke around to slowly sniff all the things! Or (with your permission) we could drive to a nearby dog park or trail, or just play fetch or tug of war at home. Or just cuddle on the sofa - whatever your pet prefers! I love to give them plenty of attention plus lots of pets, belly rubs and hair brushing (if they like that).

Pet care experience

Trustworthy, Reliable & Attentive Care for Your Pet and Home 🐕🐈🏡 . I had two dogs growing up in the South Sound area 🐶🐶, have done some wonderful house and pet-sits which resulted in 12 out of 12 Five-Star reviews from a leading global house-sitting platform. You can see screenshots of these reviews in my photo gallery! Let me know if you’d like me to share my many excellent professional work references and 40+ positive Airbnb reviews. . While I used to pet sit while traveling with my teen daughters, I now operate strictly as a solo sitter/ walker, and will be the only person providing care for your pets and visiting your home. . As a UW-Seattle graduate, former sales and marketing executive, and current online business owner / remote worker, I bring absolute respect, clear communication, professionalism and mature responsibility to your home. I’m a clean, quiet, middle-aged gal who doesn't smoke, drink or (heaven forbid) do drugs. . I’m keen to supplement my income with something active and fun that I love doing but this time, for my own local community... taking care of adorable pets! 🐱🐶 . What I’d Love to Offer Your Household: . 🐶🐱 Attentive Pet Care: I’ll treat your pets like family, making sure they get plenty of love, walks, play, and that their daily routine is followed. Even shy, sensitive and senior dogs and cats take a shine to me. . 🏡 Respectful Home Care: I am tidy, follow directions well, and will always respect your space. I’m happy to handle daily household needs like watering plants, bringing in mail/packages, and taking out the garbage. I pride myself on leaving pet sit homes in the exact same condition I found them if not better. . 📱Regular Communication: I’m happy to text you updates and send photos of your favorite cuties regularly so you can be rest assured that they are doing well in my care. 💬📸🐶🐱 . 💊 Medical Needs: I have experience administering medications and handling unexpected situations (like vet visits) calmly and efficiently. . 🚙 Active Adventures: If you would like me to, I’d be happy to take energetic dogs to local trail outings or the nearest dog parks to get their wiggles out and socialize. The back of my SUV is clean and animal ready. . 🗓️ Schedule & Routine: For overnight sits, I’ll stay in your home so your pets feel comfortable in their own environment. My schedule is flexible, but a few days a week I step out for mid-morning local errands and appointments that take no more than 6 hours maximum. Outside of those hours, your pets will have my full attention. Because I run an online business, I will often be working on my laptop right at your home while your pup snoozes at my feet or your cat snuggles on my lap. . I look forward to having a Meet-and-Greet to ensure we are a perfect fit for a happy, comfortable sit! . UPDATE AS OF JULY 2026: I have a new house-sitting policy of a 3-night minimum stay for single-pet families, and a 2-night minimum stay for multi-pet families. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to giving your furry family members 5-star care!

Elizabeth was the perfect companion for my dog while I was away for the weekend. She kept me well updated, asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines, and left the house decidedly better than she found it at the end of her pet sitting stay. She went truly above and beyond, and I came home to a happy, relaxed dog!

Lizz is an extremely experienced house sitter as shown by her numerous excellent reviews on Trusted Housesitters. Lizz did an exceptional job for us--the entire process of house sitting was seamless from start to finish. We had excellent communication with Lizz prior to and during the sit. She was extremely knowledgeable about the care of our animals who were all well taken care of without any concerns. The house was also spotless on our return. We wish all sitters could meet the high and consistent standards of Lizz!
