Hi! I'm Liz – a 44-year-old ghostwriter and solopreneur who has the freedom to work from where I'm at. I'm big on companionship. My clients appreciate that I stay with their pets around the clock. I've got decades of experience caring for characters of all sizes and personalities. Dogs, cats, and other critters too! Attentive, individualized care is what you're getting with me. I sit for pets who've found their groove, and for those still working on it with patience and consistency from their humans. Senior dogs who value their sniff-walks, cats who've mastered artful coexistence.. I'm here for all of it ☺️ Multi-pet households where everyone mostly gets along - that's my specialty! **Note: ✓Please disclose & include all animals in the booking. If you have "outside-the-box" animals, share their specific care needs and all other relevant details via message, and we can discuss logistics and pricing. ✓I reserve the right to adjust or end a booking if information necessary to provide safe, quality care wasn't disclosed upfront. ✓Last-minute requests are welcome when my schedule allows - just ask! Serious stuff aside - when I'm not caring for pets or writing, I'm probably exploring the wilderness somewhere, meditating, cuddled up in a cozy book nook, or out laughing with friends. Animals are such excellent judges of character! It's always an honor to have their trust. I bring mental enrichment and plenty of affection (always on your pet's terms). Full transparency: I'm not a professional trainer! I'm here to honor the beautiful work you've already done with your fur fam. Puppies are precious agents of chaos! Let's do a quick in-person so I can see how they interact. I'll give you the floor to tell me all about their habits, and we can make sure we all feel like it's a good fit. I like keeping things calm, clean, and tidy while leaving lots of room for play. And I come with photo updates! The kind that'll have you smiling into your phone while you're gone. Writer life means I'm home a lot. And that means your pets get consistency, companionship, and someone who notices the small stuff - like when the cat's overstimulated, the dog needs extra reassurance (no such thing as too many ear-scritches).. Or when something's just slightly off. I'm tuned in to body language and behavioral cues. I'm also certified in animal reiki for pets who benefit from calming energy work – let me know if you'd like to incorporate it! I respond to what your pet needs in real time, not just what the schedule says. EXPERIENCE I've had dogs my whole life – all sizes, all temperaments. Cats for most of my adult life, from wallflowers to social butterflies, kittens to seniors. I recently completed four consecutive week-long sits for a single senior cat client in New Mexico. Prior to that, I spent several weeks caring for three very unique and adorable dogs, each with their own quirks, routines, and favorite spots. I've cared for anxious rescues, senior pets with special needs, high-energy youngsters, and adorably leisurely couch potatoes. I intentionally adapt my approach to what each animal needs and wants most. Be sure to share upfront anything that will help me provide them with the highest level of care, and this info will be kept in my client notes. I've managed sits lasting a couple of days to a couple of months, and I'm open to any length of time. My schedule fills up quickly, but I've taken plenty of last-minute & same-day sits too. I'M A GREAT FIT FOR 🐾 Chill, friendly dogs of any size. Cats who respect the litter box (and maybe even each other!). Pets who love cuddles, and pets who prefer their space. Households where everyone gets along. Small dogs with big personalities. Senior pets who need gentler, more patient care. Pets with medical needs or special diets. I follow instructions carefully and keep detailed notes. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT Regular photo updates - because seeing their happy faces is comforting! Clear communication about any concerns or changes in behavior. Total respect for your home. WHY I CHARGE WHAT I CHARGE I'm not new to this. Just to Rover. I bring decades of hands-on experience with all kinds of pets in all kinds of situations. You're not paying for someone to just show up. You're paying for someone who genuinely cares and pays close attention. Someone who handles the unexpected with calm competence, and who is equally there to provide real companionship. It's the worst feeling to come home and know that your loved ones needs have been ignored. I know what it's like! And I also know the difference it makes when you have someone trustworthy you can rely on. Your pet isn't just an animal to me – they're your family, and they deserve care that reflects that. I have plenty of references on hand. Just say the word! Let's talk. 🐾💗
