Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home. Now pet sitting in Sheffield!
I have done pet sitting on and off as a side project for many years, including while living in Los Angeles, as you can see from my profile. I had been travelling and pet sitting until recently settling in Sheffield. I work from home and love having animals around. I don't have any pets of my own because I travel intermittently, so I enjoy looking after other people's pets when I can. There are several large parks near the house which are excellent for long walks where needed. While I am mostly at home, I do go out from time to time, so primarily sit for animals who are OK for up to four hours by themselves. I will do my best to check we have similar expectations before the sit begins.
Cat care experience
Liz also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Everything went smoothly and Liz is lovely to deal with, dogs were wel looked after and came back exhausted! Would happily book again.
Liz was great with our two Dachshunds. We were updated with plenty of photos and it looked like they settled quickly. Would definitely use Liz again. Thank you for taking care of Belle and Cooper.
Our dog instantly took to Liz, I could tell he would be safe and happy and well looked for while we were away. She was very accommodating, great communication, daily updates and photos. He seemed to have a great time.
Liz provided great updates and photos each day Lucy stayed with her, which was very reassuring to see. Very good experience.
Liz was friendly and attentive to the needs of Bumble who took an instant liking to her. She listened to us when we explained eg walking and feeding and wisely took him for a walk when we left. She texted us half way through the day to reassure us that everything was all right which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her in every sense.
Ruby , bit nervous at first but settled in for the week . Daily updates and photos and returned to me calm and relaxed . thankyou Liz

Schedule
I work from home, so it's pretty easy to factor in any pet care routines and pick up and drop offs. I do have a back garden so there's some outside space here, and many parks close by for walks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm adjusting to pet sitting expectations in the UK so am prepared there may be slight differences to the US. I would usually expect that people bring their own litter tray for cats and poo bags for dogs but if that is unusual let me know. I have a relaxed home, animals are welcome on furniture, but of course if that clashes with home realities and you would prefer they don't, just let me know.
A typical day
I'm usually on my computer for 5-7 hours of the day, which I like to break up with walks and playing games with any pet guests, can be a welcome distraction. There's a bounty of walks to choose from around the house.
