About: I have been pet-sitting for my neighbors, boss, and co-workers since 2010. While I occasionally board pets in my home, I usually provide pet/house-sitting in the customer's home. I walk/feed/brush dogs, administer oral medication if indicated, and spend time playing with them. I also take in mail, water plants, and take out trash/recycling. I am a newly retired teacher, so I am now available full time for all of your pet care needs any time 7 days a week. If I am providing care in my home, I can offer to take dogs for a walk in a nearby state park. I try to keep the pets' feeding and walking schedules consistent with that of the owners.
About: I have had lots of felines through the years and really love taking care of them. I also love playing with dogs and taking them for long walks. They have lots of energy and love exploring as much as I do. 🐕 I have lots of time to care for and play with your felines, dogs and birds. It is the best time of the year to get outside and explore the area with dogs. We start the day by taking a walk and eating breakfast. Follow the pet's usual walking route unless otherwise instructed. I allow the dog to explore and sniff within safe limits. I provide exercise tailored to the dog's age, breed, and health. I avoid interactions with unknown dogs and people to prevent any potential conflicts.

“I have never been away from my dog, Bubba, for more than 3 hours and when I met Raisa through a friend, it was like all of my worries were lifted off my shoulders. Raisa took care of Bubba for a 3 whole consecutive days until I came home for bedtime. She walked him three times a day, fed them, played with him (sometimes at dog parks), and kept up with his in-home potty training. It was a lot of responsibility for someone’s first time with my dog and she did an amazing job.”

She places the dogs in crates fit to her vehicle for safe transport. It's always a pleasure sign business with Gabrielle, and she also gives my dog an amazing bath before bringing her home. My pup seems very happy with Gabrielle and I think that she will be an amazing asset to Rover. Carla M. Harris”

“great service. AAA+”
Elizabeth S.
“When you have a new puppy, trusting an unfamiliar person or service can feel overwhelming. We were lucky to have found Liz to tend to Milo for doggy daycare 4 days a week. Not only did Liz take care of him, but Liz and her dogs helped Milo become more social and build confidence. What sets Liz apart is her genuine love for animals and her professionalism. Liz always puts the dogs' well-being first, and if anything ever affects our schedule, Liz communicates clearly and with plenty of notice. Liz is incredibly reliable, consistent, and trustworthy. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own, and give you real peace of mind I highly recommend reaching out to Liz.”
