Jessica was very welcoming. Skipper really enjoyed the large fenced back yard. Jessica’s dogs were friendly to Skipper and he really enjoyed running with them in the yard. We definitely will book again.

About: We have had one or multiple dogs for over 20 years. We have cared for many elderly dogs and adopted and fostered several with special needs. Angie works from home and Bill is retired. We have a fenced in yard and can offer potty breaks and care as needed. Angie can also offer several short walks a day for dogs that walk well on a leash. Our Labradors, Topper and Bruno are also up for playtime with new friends to keep your pups entertained. Angel offers a calmness to ease anxiety. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly Labradors that love company. I also have a senior girl that enjoys just laying around and watching TV with the family.

I needed a special day care/boarding home for my young, tri-pawed dog. The first visit was a day care trial where my dog and Lisa's family and dog were able to really interact to see if this was a good fit. Very professional, patient and works well with my dog. Now, I know where I will be boarding her when I travel. Thank you.

While I was visiting my brother and his family in Williamsburg, Christene was so wonderful with helping watch my pup Riley while we went out to explore for the day! She was super responsive and her schedule was very flexible. Riley’s a bit of an anxious and skittish doggo but he warmed up to Christene and her family quickly!! I’m so thankful I found Christene to watch Riley. It’s always nerve wracking leaving Riley with someone new, but she gave me a lot of updates and reassurance he was acclimating well!! Her doggo is also the cutest so that’s a huge plus! Highly recommend and I’ll be reaching out again when we visit again!

She took the time to understand my dogs’ needs and routine, which really put me at ease. My dog came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for — I couldn’t ask for more. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!

Melissa is amazing. She is so sweet and genuinely cares about your fur baby. Her fur babies are super friendly and got along so well with mine. My boy felt so comfortable as soon as he walked in the door. It was like he had been there a thousand times before. You will get photos throughout the day to see how much fun your fur baby is having. I use Melissa weekly for day care and will be using her for boarding as well. If you want to feel your fur baby is safe and loved….. Melissa is your sitter.

About: April has now been totally booked. Still on Puppy Duty and will probably be so through May 31. If you are a regular, please contact me directly and I or my eldest will help if we are able. I am now accepting bookings for Autumn and Winter including holidays and into spring 2026, if not already committed elsewhere. *** BONDED/INSURED and I guarantee my behavior in your home!!! Please check with any of my other clients. I love being video taped!!! Your home is just as safe as your pets! I’ve been the go-to girl for pet care in my extended family, friends, neighbors and even within my church for decades. I’ve helped puppies being born and taken care of seniors who needed medication. I work from home and set hours as you need me. For walks, I do the route most comfortable for your dog and I always pickup droppings and put into outdoor containers. For Drop-In Visits, what is comfortable for your animal is what I do. We can do playtime or just feed/water/love. Puppies can use me for mountain climbing and senior dogs find me a restful friend. I work with cats as well as dogs and am not afraid of keeping a litterbox clean. Please be aware I am working with a puppy daily thru at least May. But his schedule is uneven. If you are a regular customer, I will work with you for drop-ins or walks but I’m am very limited. My eldest is covering me so feel free to contact us if you need me before May 31 when he will be out off puppy quarantine. Yeah! Also, if you have any tentative travel plans this year, please let me know as soon as possible. I hate turning people down but I already have week long overnight bookings scheduled every month into Jan. I would be glad to block out dates while you firm up your plans, if needed. My work zone is limited - I try to only take jobs within a ***3 MILE radius of CEDAR LANE*** - so I can focus on each pet instead of driving all over the place. If you ask any of my regulars, you will find I can (and have been) called in on an emergency with no hesitation. I only take 1 drop-in and walk on days I have puppy or 3 drop ins and 2 walks on my ‘free’ days. I will book as far as 12 MONTHS in advance if you need me. I work my schedule around your pets. Any questions, I will be glad to answer. For clarification - Drop-ins and walks are scheduled between 9 am and 8pm. House/Pet sittings can be during the day or an overnight stay. Usually, Day shift is 9am to 5 pm but I am willing to work with you as your schedule requires. Overnight stays are usually 8-10pm as needed to 8am. Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to work with you and your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My sleep-in day is Monday if I do not have furry friends to visit so if I'm slow to answer, its because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and walks. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life. Having grown up on a farm, we cared for every kind of "critter" from dogs and cats to a goat, a rooster, ducks, a hamster, goldfish, turtles; not to mention our chickens and pigs...LOL!! Yes, pigs and chickens need love too. Whenever my friends or family needed someone to care for their furry family member, I was the one they called. And I enjoyed every minute of it. I am retired and in need of a part-time job to help financially as well as to get me out of the house. Besides, anytime spent with animals is time well spent. They never fail to make me smile. I have a fenced y.ard and a 2 level deck. My dog Socks (5 year old Lab mix) loves to spend her time roaming and soaking up the sun there. She is well cared for with regular visits to the vet for check-ups, immunizations, flea, tick and heartworm prevention.

Please ask if you need a different schedule during reservation. If I know in advance, I’m glad to work with you and your pet(s). Hope this helps, I’ve gotten a lot of questions lately. 😉 This is my job and I love it. Meeting and spending time with new animals is a joy. I'm building my business through word of mouth so you have all my attention. Let me be of help. I answer text/calls between 9am and 11pm unless I am driving, working with someone, or out of town. My sleep-in day is Monday if I do not have furry friends to visit so if I'm slow to answer, its because I'm covered in my dogs and cannot move. (They are little but insistent.) I WILL respond to every request even if you are not in my zone. But I cannot respond while working or at church. You and your furry family are important to me, please let me prove it. I'm always willing to do drop ins and walks. I love doing house sitting stays as it lets your pet be comfortable in his/her own space and keep to their schedule. I will follow your rules meticulously! Please feel free to contact anyone I have worked with, I'm very proud of the reviews I've been given. I will work with you and your pet to get the same happy review. I limit my work area so I spend more time with your pet and not traveling. Overnight covers a 10-12 hour period such as 8 pm to 8am.

I bring my 13 year old beagle to Elizabeth weekly. He has serious anxiety problems, but loves going to her house. She always responds to my doggy day care requests immediately. I highly recommend her, if you’re looking for a dog sitter.

Luisa was GREAT! Nikki can be a little shy but she went straight to Luisa. I could tell Nikki was comfortable around her. :) Luisa was responsive, flexibile and very friendly! If I’m ever in the area I would definitely use her again! I loved the pictures she sent while Nikki was with her.

About: I have been an animal lover all my life. Having grown up on a farm, we cared for every kind of "critter" from dogs and cats to a goat, a rooster, ducks, a hamster, goldfish, turtles; not to mention our chickens and pigs...LOL!! Yes, pigs and chickens need love too. Whenever my friends or family needed someone to care for their furry family member, I was the one they called. And I enjoyed every minute of it. I am retired and in need of a part-time job to help financially as well as to get me out of the house. Besides, anytime spent with animals is time well spent. They never fail to make me smile. I have a fenced y.ard and a 2 level deck. My dog Socks (5 year old Lab mix) loves to spend her time roaming and soaking up the sun there. She is well cared for with regular visits to the vet for check-ups, immunizations, flea, tick and heartworm prevention.

This was a godsend. The perfect easy place to drop off my dog and not be concerned at all. I have a 4 month lab puppy who’s a handful and it was no problem at all. I highly recommend and will book again!
