We’re so grateful to have Elizabeth sit for Rusty when the other sitter canceled our booking in the last minute! Elizabeth provided outstanding care for Rusty and ensured that Rusty’s needs be met while spoiling him as well. She also sent a bunch of pictures and videos of Rusty that we enjoyed so much! Her acreage yard allowed Rusty to run around and exercise as he loves to be outside! Thank you so much for your care! Highly recommended and will definitely use the service again in the future!

It's not often you run across someone who is as amazing as Elizabeth who took care of my dogs on the 4th of July! I could tell by the pictures she sent me the dogs were as happy as they could be. When I dropped them off I could immediately tell she was going to be perfect for Izzy and Bodie. I consider my dogs family and want the best for them. Elizabeth IS one of the best I've ever seen. I would use her again anytime.

About: If you’re looking for a calm, safe place where your dog can relax, play, and get plenty of exercise, you’re in the right spot. I provide dog boarding in a quiet country setting with lots of open space for dogs to run and burn energy. Many dogs feel overwhelmed in busy boarding facilities, so my goal is to give them a low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Your dog will get: • Plenty of outdoor time and exercise • Constant supervision and attention • A safe, peaceful environment away from crowded kennels I’ve been around dogs for years and understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level. I take the time to make sure they feel secure, get the activity they need, and settle in like they’re at home. Whether your dog loves to run, explore, or just relax, they’ll have the space and attention they need while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing during their stay. Caring for dogs fits very naturally into my daily routine. Because I’m located in a quiet rural area, dogs staying with me have plenty of space to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors throughout the day. My day typically includes multiple outdoor breaks, playtime, and regular check-ins to make sure every dog is comfortable and getting the attention they need. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, activity, and rest, which helps dogs settle in quickly and feel at home. Since I’m around throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised and never left alone for long periods. I also make sure to send updates and photos so owners can see how their dog is doing while they’re away. Providing a calm, structured environment with lots of outdoor time is a normal part of my day, and I enjoy making sure every dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun stay. When dogs stay with me, I focus on giving them a safe, calm environment with plenty of attention and exercise. I live in a quiet rural area, which allows dogs to enjoy lots of outdoor time and space to run, explore, and burn energy throughout the day. I keep a consistent routine that includes regular outdoor breaks, playtime, feeding on their normal schedule, and time to rest so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Every dog is supervised closely to make sure they are safe and adjusting well during their stay. I understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I adjust care to match their needs—whether that means more playtime, relaxed downtime, or extra attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is being well cared for.

Lizzie was AMAZING! My dog got sick while we were out of state. Lizzie went above and beyond. She picked up meds from the vet and applied them daily. She made a cute New Years photo magnet with a pic of our dog, Olive. Her communication and kindness were outstanding. And she is a pet groomer! You couldn’t ask for a better care giver for your pet.

Amanda goes above and beyond! I was so scared to leave my 16 yr oldin pin for a week long vacation, but with Amanda caring for him my mind was put to ease. She not only followed his lengthy list of care instructions, but made sure he got pets and cuddles at his visits and even took his laundry home to be kept up with. She handled everything perfectly and made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing our baby was well looked after. If we lived here full time Amanda would be our go to sitter no questions asked! Thank you Amanda you are such a blessing! ❤️❤️

About: I’ve taken cats in from anyone who needs the help. Whether it be strays outside and getting them the vet care they need, or just babies or adults that needed a better home. Recently I took in two sick 4 weeks old babies, and brought them back to life and there healthy as ever now. I also took a stray in from outside and now she’s chunky and living her best life!

About: I was raised in a house full of dogs. Atleast 14 of them and have had many many many litters of puppies. I’ve always taken care of them my whole life! I actually got into a car accident back in 2021 and now have arthritis in my right ankle, makes it super hard to have a full time job. I also have a little three year old I stay home with! I play with the pets all day long. I’ll take them for little walks or drives. I give them food and water, some treats as well depending on what the owner says. We cuddle, it’s always a great time

I provide careful supervision and secure routines ensure the safest environment possible.

About: I have taken care of my two dogs for most of my life. Not only that but I have been taking care of neighbors and family friends animals since I was 14 years old. I love spending time with animals even if they're not my own. I don't have professional experience but its not my first time doing this sort of job I've found that creating a pet care schedule is essential for keeping your furry friend happy and healthy so currently I am not working any jobs now, so I have plenty of time to spend with anyone animal. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment for animals is of utmost importance so unfortunately, I do not have a fenced-in yard at the time but I have a great walking route for my dogs, and we love to spend lots of time outside.
