About: I’ve always had a dog growing up. Dogs are life companions! I’ve taken care after my own dogs of course and family members as well. I’m the first person they call to see if I’m available to watch over their fur babies. I tend to make friends with dogs at a function quicker than I do with humans. I take care after my own animals through sickness and health and try to give them the world. They deserve the best! I am free during the week and weekend. Reach out at anytime and we can work out whatever you need for your fur baby/babies. I take care of any fur baby as if they are my own ! Depending on the owners wants and needs for their pup I will always do my best to do what they want for them.

I am comfortable giving medications, including pills and injections. My childhood dog had diabetes and required two insulin doses a day, and I’ve had several more dogs need oral medication. I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I typically have a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of experience with leash walking, crating and baby gates. When leaving your pet, I always check that they have no access to anything that could harm them, or anything they could destroy.

She’s my shadow and I will treat your pet with the same kind of companionship. I am open to all request. Just let me know what you are looking for and we can figure out the schedule! Happy to be flexible with times and needs. I provide a safe environment at home. I have two pets of my own, a very calm golden retriever and a black cat that thinks she’s a dog. They usually sleep throughout the day. I work from home so your pet can hang out with me while I work. For drop in visits I would come solo without my dog (unless requested for play).

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 3 years now, and my love for animals has always been a big part of who I am. My experience includes providing attentive, loving care through daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, and maintaining pets’ normal routines while their owners are away. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to each animal’s individual needs. Whether caring for an energetic pup who loves to explore, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a little extra attention, I strive to make every visit a positive experience. I take pet safety seriously and always make sure pets are comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your beloved animal, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. i'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and have fun with your pups! I'm available three days a week midday to late evening I live in an apartment and can hold pets during the day, to play and cuddle! I live near plenty of dog parks and walking trails and will more than likely be on the go enjoying them with your pup.

“Lizzie is a wonderful! She was able to quickly build a relationship of trust with my skiddish rescue. She always arrived as expected and let me know everything that was going on with my dog. She made great suggestions for helping my dog with her anxiety. I highly recommend Lizzie!!!”

About: I have been around and taken care of cats since my mom and I rescued 3 kittens from side of the road. When we picked them up and took them to the vet they were only 2 weeks old. We had to quickly learn how to take care of them to make sure they survived. From nursing them to stimulating them so that then could go to the bathroom , to waking up every hour to make sure they were okay and warm. They are now 6 years old! Those are now my mom's babies, I ended up getting my own 2 babies 2 years later from a shelter. One of my boys has Cerebellar Hypoplasia (it's mild) which means he's a little wobbly and off balance. With his condition it has made me much more patient, caring and understanding to any animals with any disabilities or impairments I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your cats the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexibility on weekends. I’ll always make sure we discuss your pets routine and needs beforehand so I can provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, litter box, and care instructions provided by the owner. I’m very respectful of each petsp personality and boundaries and never force interaction. I make sure doors and windows are secure, litter areas are kept clean, fresh food and water are available, and I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, or quiet companionship depending on what your pet prefers. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your baby is safe and well cared for while you’re away.
