Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hessel
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Hessel
“We absolutely loved having Elizabeth watch Nala and Winston! From the very first meet and greet, she put us completely at ease. We appreciated the photo and video updates. Elizabeth has two sweet dogs that were very affectionate and were ready to play with Nala. When we got home, our dogs were happy, and tired, and clearly well-loved. We will definitely be booking with her again when in the area.”
“Scharol was an amazing dog sitter. She was constantly in contact with me and she shared many pictures of Titus. I am truly grateful for her because she treated Titus, like her own fur child. For anyone else looking to find someone to look after their cherished fur baby, please consider Scharol. I am honored to share my story.”

“Even just through drop-ins, Sequoia has been an amazing sitter for my senior cat. Not only did she provide above-expectation care, she also took the time to ensure his safety during this disastrous winter storm. Will definitely be recommending her to others and scheduling again in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Hessel
“Elizabeth was excellent to work with coordinating our dog sitting appointment. I dropped my 3.5 year old Great Dane off around 10:00 AM and picked her up at 5:45 PM. Elizabeth sent me text and pictures throughout the day and her two dogs played and played with my big girl. They had mini pool time and inside pet relax time. My baby was exhausted when I picked her up. I can’t recommend Elizabeth enough!”

About: My love for animals is what made me want to watch pets. I have had pets my entire life & have been watching them for friends for years. I lost my dog Olive a year ago & this gives me my “ dog fix “. I am retired & have always wanted to be a dog sitter. I hope you will consider me. I work during the winter 4 days a week, but this has not been a problem for the animals I take care of now. I am very flexible. My yard is very large but not fenced in. I do have neighbors with dogs but they stay in their yards. I am also open to staying at your home.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, and various other animals in my family so I have lots of experience in caring for them. A family friend has told me I'm like a dog whisperer because most dogs are comfortable with me. I'm most comfortable with no more than 4 dogs at a time, whether they're small like a Dachshund or a Cardigan Welsh Corgi, medium-sized like a Brittany Spaniel or a Labrador, or large like a Newfoundland or Great Dane. I also am able to train dogs in simple commands such as stay, sit, lay down, and shake. And I'm willing to help potty train puppies and bathe dogs if needed. I do have experience with elderly dogs or sick dogs with many health conditions and medications. Either myself or my spouse is nearly always at home. I work a flexible job where I can stop at home during the day if needed. I currently have my own dog and cat. I am working on getting a fence but currently just a tie-out lead and a large dog house is what I have with lots of land to run.
About: Hell my name is Scharol. I love animals all kinds. First they need good steady meals then the fun begins! They're like children health safety then fun and love. I think of pets as toddlers. If they arent played with and getting attention theyll get into trouble. They need regular exercise good wholesome food, snacks when they're behaving. At times just because;) they crave love and affection. I allow them on my furniture and my bed. I just wash my bedding more often than most. They get scared have legit feelings and I address all of those needs. I first very responsible and very caring. I'll love them as if they were my own. Thank you for your time Scharol- I'm available all the time Great! I'm free almost 100% of the time which makes me a perfect fit to care for your prescious pets I've been around animals my entire life Walk them play with them cuddle them. Comb or brush them. They're fed all the time and depending on what they need I'll provide it.
