About: Having adopted guinea pigs, with four years of fostering dogs, and a beloved foster-fail cat, animals are my sole passion! I provide loving, attentive care, ensuring your babies feel like royalty while you're away! I work from home, so I am available fulltime for your pets. Pets with separation anxiety are taken special care of! Your pet will have as much freedom as you would like them to have I have a fenced-in yard, a dog , a cat and sometimes a foster dog to keep your pets company. Your pet can lie down on the bed or inside the crate as needed. We have a very calm household, no kids.

About: I’ve been an animal lover & enthusiast my entire life. From owning birds, several cats, and a Rottweiler & Puggle growing up, to even reptiles and fish as an adult— I have extensive experience with all types of animals and do my best to research & gain knowledge to better care for them and provide the best environment that I possibly can. I’ve been working through Rover for over seven years and up until this past year (2024) as a veterinary technician at a well-renowned local hospital for two years. I’m well versed in the care of various species of animals and can administer medications, fluids etc as well as cater to any other needs your pet may have, all while treating you and your home with the utmost respect. Find out just how much easier life could be when you book your future services with me! Please check out my reviews and feel free to message me with any questions & for more details on what services I can provide you and your loved one(s) 🐾 I’m extremely flexible as pet care is my only form of employment at the moment. I’m at home most days, all day. A perfect arrangement for all pets, especially those with anxiety & special needs. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have a lot of land with local dog parks nearby. I have several cats in my home but am able to keep them confined to a different section of the house in case any of my clients are not cat friendly (and I’ve had plenty!) I’m very well trained with walking all types of sizes and breeds of dogs, I have experience with administering medicine and IV fluids, and know generally about most animal species and care.

About: I have grown up with cats my whole life, I currently have two orange tabby’s named Dobby and Louise. As a teen we rescued a greyhound and took him for walks and loved to cuddle with him. During the pandemic, I started dog walking for those who were deemed essential workers around my neighborhood. I wanted to help those who were helping us during such confusing times. I work full-time, but I have a hybrid work schedule, which allows me the flexibility to have even more time with your pet! I’m great at making accommodations. I’d like to have a quick conversation with you first, to make sure I know the do’s and don’t you’ve implemented for you pet. If they are still learning commands, I want to be able to reinforce them with the proper words. I always like to carry extra poo bags with me on walks because I don’t want to leave any mess behind.

About: We have a ton of experience watching dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. We trained our own puppy so we understand the extra care, attention and exercise that is required for dogs at different stages of life. My husband and I work from home daily and take breaks regularly throughout the day to take our dog on walks, play with him and care for him. We happily do the same with other dogs we watch. These breaks are the best parts of our day. We have a yard but it is not fenced in, so we take our dog and dogs we watch on walks in our cul de sac and around the neighborhood, which is very walkable. We allow dogs on couches and beds. If they want to sleep with us, we welcome it!

“Keanu loved his stay, will be neck for sure”


About: Hi there! 🐾 My partner and I both grew up around dogs, have had our own dogs, and are foster dog parents. We'd love the opportunity to cuddle and take the very best care of your pup. Think of us as your dog's godparents! We know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies so we would love to ease that worry for you and take very good care of your pets. We will send photos/videos and keep you updated throughout the stay! We both work from home so we will stay with your pet. With our flexible schedule, we'll be able to keep to your dog's normal routine and schedule with walks, potty, meal time, and play time! We have a crate, bed, and plenty of treats and toys. We also have a huge fenced-in yard where we can play fetch and run around. I believe dogs need to be stimulated mentally and physically. In addition to getting good exercise through daily walks, I also have lots of toys and balls, sniff mats, lick mats, and food puzzles. I also enjoy training dogs so your dog may come home having learned a new trick!

About: I have over 20 years of caring for dogs, cats and birds. I volunteer for an animal rescue and have fostered cats and dogs in the past, administered medicine, and socialized stray kittens to be adoptable. I’ve owned a Samoyed, Great Pyrenees, a pit bull mix and now a miniature Australian Shepherd. I’ve owned a cockatiel and a sun conure in the past so I’m familiar with caring for birds. The last 5 years, I worked for a pet insurance company where you can bring your pet to work but also learned of potential emergencies pets encounter and how to prevent them or take action quickly. I’m currently working from home so I’ll have the time to care for your pet, give them attention, treats and take walks throughout the day I have a fenced in yard and a friendly 30lb puppy who would love a friend for the time you are gone. Bones, lick mats and Kongs are offered throughout the day.

“This is the second time we had Benjamin take care of Beau. I feel very comfortable leaving our dog with him because I know he is going to be taken care of. We will definitely be using his services in the future.”


About: Life is simply better with a dog by your side—especially a big one! As a lifelong dog advocate, I believe every pup deserves to feel as safe, happy, and loved with me as they do with you. I know how important consistency is for your dog’s well-being. Whether it is meal times, walks, or naps, I will stick to their usual schedule to make your absence as smooth as possible. Fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs, or just couch cuddles—your dog’s idea of fun is my idea of a great day! However they love to play, I am all in. Having loved and lost my own soul-dog, I understand the trust you place in a sitter. My goal is to be that reliable, caring presence so you can relax knowing your pup is in devoted hands. If you are looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family—with patience, enthusiasm, and deep respect for their needs—let’s chat! Flexible in such that I can arrange other duties around the needs of clientele. I will try my absolute best to mend any scheduling conflicts for last minute needs as well. My default is in-home pet sitting because I believe a familiar environment reduces stress and keeps routines intact—which means a happier pup! That said, I always prioritize the individual needs of each pet and family. After meeting you and your dog, we will decide together what works best, whether that is staying in their home or another arrangement. My goal is simple: your pet’s comfort and safety, no matter where that takes us!

“Liz was great with only fur baby! She kept me updated with how Luna was doing throughout the day and sent pictures!! Looking forward to leaving Luna with Liz again, knowing she will be in greats hands!!”

I recommend her with full confidence and I am proud to have her as one of my pet care givers!”
