“Always a little scary leaving your family pets in the care of a stranger, but after our meet & greet with Elizabeth I knew she was the right one! Our cats need daily meds which can be challenging, and she took this on without hesitation. She went above and beyond and cleaned the litter boxes out and put new litter in before we came home which was a wonderful surprise, and we’re so appreciative of it. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again to watch our cats in the future!”


“As always, Melissa is the best, and we are so lucky to have her to look after our pets!! She is so responsive, sends great photos of our cats, and gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. We cannot recommend her enough!”


“Makaila was great. I loved all the updates and photos of Marley and when my plans changed, she was super flexible. She made the whole process easy. Will be using her again!”


“Briana was GREAT!!! She was in full contact with me and I loved getting pictures of her visits. She left me feeling very comfortable with my dog and I would definitely recommend her to others. In fact I am already planning more visits with her! Thank you Briana.”


“Liz is hands down the best pet caretaker I have ever had. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you're at ease while you're away. The communication between myself and Liz was outstanding, Liz was always very helpful and attentive and responded quickly. I will highly recommend Liz to my friends and family, and you should do yourself a favor and book her for your next pet sitting.”

About: With 13 years of experience, I care for pets of all ages—puppies to seniors. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of care, attention, and heart I bring to every animal I look after. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pet sitting—every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to match their individual routines, personalities, and preferences. Whether it’s maintaining a strict feeding schedule, keeping up with daily walks, or simply spending quality time playing or cuddling, I make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and understood in your absence. I have extensive experience with a wide range of animals, including those with special needs such as senior pets, animals with anxiety, or those requiring regular medications. I’m confident in providing not only basic care but also the kind of gentle, attentive support that pets with extra needs require. My calm demeanor and understanding of pet behavior allow me to build trust quickly, even with shy or nervous animals. Communication is key when someone else is caring for your furry family members, so I prioritize regular updates. I send messages, photos, and videos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel reassured that they’re happy and in great hands. I want you to be able to truly relax while you’re away, knowing your pet is not just being looked after, but genuinely cared for. In addition to being loving and attentive, I’m also well-prepared for emergencies. I stay calm under pressure and know how to respond quickly if something unexpected arises, from minor injuries to more serious situations. This preparedness ensures that your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I strive to create a nurturing, home-like environment filled with comfort, routine, and affection. I genuinely love animals, and that passion comes through in everything I do—from the wag of a tail to the purr of a happy cat, I thrive on making pets feel secure and content. Being a pet sitter is more than a job to me—it’s a privilege, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🩵 A little about me: I currently have 3 dogs of my own. One is a senior Chihuahua and the other two are 1 yr old Dobermans. I'm available during the week mornings between 9am and 1pm and evenings between 4:30 and 8pm. I work around my kids school schedules and sports. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or quiet snuggles. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. You'll get daily updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Libby was great! She did a wonderful job with Jasper and Leo, made them happy to see her every day with me being out of town. Very responsible and gave updates with fun photos of them playing. Highly recommended and will use again.”

Connor S.
“Finding a good match for our furry friend Pippi has always been a challenge due to her aggression towards most strangers, but Connor somehow got through to her and gave us the opportunity to go have a stress free vacation. He even took her to the beach twice while we were away for the week which really helps with her anxiety (which was completely not necessary but was so amazing!). I couldn’t recommend him more and will be using him again!”

Danielle was great! She went above and beyond to make sure my 2 kitties were content while I was out of town for a long weekend. When I came home, all the dishes were clean and my house was just as tidy as I left it. She provided me with detailed updates and pictures from every visit and most importantly, my kitties loved her :)! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and will definitely be booking with her again.
