About: I have a fenced in yard and a 5 year old female husky who loves making new friends. I am a PE teacher so I'm home all day during the summer. I love dogs and I would treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I have the availability to take them on walks and let them out as much as necessary. I am happy to communicate with you and learn the needs of your pet. Would love to establish consistent work with the same dogs. Please consider me as your next dog sitter. I would be happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have I'm a PE teacher so Im off work right now and home all the time. I have a fenced in yard so it's easy for me to let the dogs out, as well as take them for walks or hikes. I will cater to each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feels comfortable, because that's how I want to feel when I entrust my dog with someone.

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

About: Dogs just get me! I have a heart and home for dogs and I would love to host your fur baby. I have a yard and a spacious park close by for your fur baby to exercise. Old Plank Trail is around the corner too if your baby enjoys long walks. My home does have stairs but the first floor has more than enough space for an older or heavier dog. Your baby would be free to get comfortable in our home and enjoy family time with us but don't worry, I’ll return him or her when it's time to go but they might have a new nickname. I look can do walks and daycare if you are interested. If you are looking for specific services please reach out directly.

I also have crates and security gates if your dog prefers their own space. Each dog has their own designated area for feeding as well.

About: I have extensive experience in pet care, having spent several years looking after a variety of animals including dogs, cats, and small pets. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medication, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes and cages, and providing companionship to ensure each pet feels safe and loved. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention to detail when it comes to animal care. Whether caring for energetic puppies or senior pets with special needs, I always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and happiness. Pet care is a natural and consistent part of my daily routine. Since I’m available every day, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, grooming, or simply spending quality time with them, I make sure every task is done with care and patience. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust easily to last-minute needs or extended care, which helps build trust with both pets and their owners. Being fully available means I can maintain a reliable and steady routine that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable. I care for pets in their own home to ensure they stay comfortable in a familiar environment. When I visit a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely. I make sure to keep the pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress while their owner is away. I’m respectful of the home, always keeping things clean and organized, and I stay in touch with owners through updates and photos so they know their pets are safe, happy, and well-cared for.

As a dog owner who travels frequently, I know how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy sitter. You'll have peace of mind knowing that I'll take great care of your place and your pup!


“Bayli far outdid herself taking care of my furbabies. They got a little rambunctious while their humans were away and created a bit of a mess, with knocking items over and what not. Bayli cleaned up the mess and vacuumed up their sheddings(long hair cats). Not only would I highly recommend her, I will always use her to take care of my littles in the furture!!”


About: I've had rescue dogs my whole life and understand the patience, love, and consistency they need to thrive. I’m the proud dog parent of a 3-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Beagle/Pit mix—both super friendly and always up for a game of tug-of-war! Over the years, I’ve successfully potty trained, crate trained, and helped my dogs work through separation anxiety. My hands-on experience gives me a calm, confident approach with all breeds and personalities. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own in a safe, fun, and loving environment. I create my own work schedule, which allows me to dedicate focused, flexible time to pet care every day. I structure my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and training with my two dogs. This flexibility makes it easy to welcome another dog into our routine—whether for a walk, drop-in, daycare, or boarding. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play alongside my two friendly, playful dogs. There are plenty of toys to keep everyone entertained! I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always follow your daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I believe in clear communication, so I love sending picture updates to keep you connected and reassured while your pup is in my care.

Laura D.Star Sitter
“Laura Has always loved animals. In our household we have had dogs growing up. She was always the one to walk them & always had them with her in the house. She named most of the animals by their actions. Her Dad got a puppy for us for Xmas & set her on the couch the puppy kept falling off, so she called him Flopsey. Laura got her own dog Herkie (Hercules) Because he believe he could do anything like a Huskey. (which he could't).Herkie did live to be nineteen yrs. old. I could on with stories about all our animals, but Laura would be a great dog walker because of her great love for animals & the great outdoors.”

It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Elizabeth!”
