About: I’ve had dogs since I was in college and I now have a farm with all kinds of different animals! There is nothing better than an animals love other than knowing your loved ones are being taken care of properly. My animals are my family and I will treat yours as my family too. I currently help with rescues on transportation, fostering, and placement. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can usually work around my work schedule pretty easily to accommodate a variety of times and needs. I will give all your pets all the love! My pets are allowed on all the furniture as it’s their house too. I have an acreage that provides lost of space for walks and play and I also have a gps fence that can be used if wanted.

About: I am a HUGE animal lover! I grew up on a farm so I’ve been around all types of animals and livestock. I used to work at a veterinary clinic for 3 years, an animal shelter for a year, and now I’m back to livestock. I currently have 4 cats of my own. I have been around and worked with all types and kinds! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and happy at all times! I do have a full time job, but am very flexible when caring for your animals. I am available week days in the afternoons and most weekends. You let me know what is needed and I can make it work with my schedule! I am comfortable with staying in your home if that’s desired! I will give them lots of love and always take care of their needs.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds—chickens, ponies, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards—you name it, I’ve probably cared for it! That experience gave me a natural comfort and confidence with animals from a young age, and it taught me how to read their behavior, understand their needs, and treat them with gentleness and respect. I’ve looked after everything from snuggly lap cats to high-energy dogs who need lots of play and exercise. I enjoy taking active dogs to parks and getting them the movement they need, while also knowing how to slow things down for older pets or animals who need extra care. I’ve also cared for pets who were mildly sick or healing, giving them special attention, gentle handling, and keeping a close eye on their needs. What sets me apart is my calm, steady presence and my ability to adjust to each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, affectionate, or a little quirky—I meet them where they’re at and care for them like they’re my own. Right now, I’m in a season of life where I’m home full-time and have plenty of availability to care for pets. I love being around animals, and with my flexible schedule, I can give them the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. If this turns into something steady, I’d love to make pet care my full-time focus! For now, my days are wide open, and I’m excited to spend them keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved. When caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top priorities. For in-home boarding, I’m currently only able to host quiet pets due to both my living situation and the peaceful nature of our neighborhood. This includes animals like cats, hamsters, reptiles, and even spiders like tarantulas — all of which tend to be low-noise and easygoing. I share my home with my spouse, who is a light sleeper and highly sensitive to sound, so it’s important that any pets I host are calm and relatively quiet. While I generally don’t board dogs at this time, I may make exceptions for certain small, quiet breeds — such as older Shih Tzus — who are known for their gentle, quiet temperament and cuddly nature. Please note that other small breeds like dachshunds or beagles, which tend to be more vocal, unfortunately wouldn’t be a good fit for our environment. Of course, I understand that every animal has its own personality, so if you believe your pet is especially calm, feel free to reach out and we can discuss! I live near a walking path that’s perfect for regular walks and potty breaks. I’m happy to provide exercise and fresh air as part of their daily routine. I always follow the pet’s normal routine as much as possible, and I’ll communicate closely with you to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in my home or yours.

“My dogs adore Elizabeth! My great pyrenees, while friendly, rarely let's strangers touch him right away and immediately let Libby pet him! She was able to control both my young german shepherd and my great pyrenees on a walk without issue. She even asked if she could bring treats for them that she bought herself. She made sure to put everything back where she found it and made sure that my black german shepherd didn't get too hot on his walk. I will definitely book with her again!!”

Marianela L.
“Marianela is an incredibly warm, compassionate person who cares deeply about every living creature around her. When we lived together on a homestead, her demeanor towards both the dog and chickens were kind and heartening. With her own cats as well, it is evident that she is incredibly sensitive to their quality of life. If I had pets, I certainly would seek her support.”


Ceondra K.
“Ceondra is one of the best people to have as a dog caregiver. She's a vet technician for goodness sakes, it just shows she's already responsible enough to properly take care of any dog. She loves dogs, I've never seen someone shine so bright when being in the presence of a dog. She's the first person I call when I have any questions about my four legged best friend. You literally couldn't ask for anyone better.”


Lily V.
“Lily loves animals and takes great care of them! She will love your pets like they're her own - which is what we all want for our furbabies! I don't trust many people with my animals, but Lily, with her love and care for animals, makes the short list!”

Susan E.
“Susan is the best dogsitter I've ever had and ive had quite a few. She not only took very good care of both my dogs which is a big order because I have a pit bull and a great Dane, but she also bathed them and gave me recommendation on training ideas in a very respectful way. I would 100% recommend her to any dog owner and I would say that I've never trusted anyone more with my dogs.”


Jeanette V.
“Jeanette is a very caring and responsible person. Her family has always owned pets and now that she is out on her own she has a fish and adopted a cat from the local humane society. She really wanted a dog however she was mature enough to realize that with her work schedule she would not have the time needed to care for a dog properly. She has several dog sitting experiences and understands the importance of following an owner's instructions.”
