About: I’ve been providing dog and cat-sitting services since I was in middle school! I have cared for a variety of dogs and cats of many different shapes and sizes. My soul dog passed away 2 years ago, and I provided senior care for him from when he was 8 to 13 along with hospice care before his passing. Since he passed away, my partner and I have opened our home to 2 rescue cats. I have experience with medication administration for both cats and dogs. I’m a newly graduated optometrist, and will only be working 2 days a week over the summer. I am available nights and weekends and on any day I am not seeing patients! I have a large home with a yard for play. The yard is not fenced, so all play will be with a long leash and completely supervised! When providing services in a client’s home, I maintain professionalism while still engaging with their pets and showing them some love while their parents are away.

“We were absolutely thrilled with the service we received from Elizabeth! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she was kind, responsive, and incredibly sweet with our beloved Bailey. Elizabeth's attentiveness truly set her apart; she kept us informed every step of the way and was highly respectful of our home. One thing that particularly touched our hearts was the pictures of Bailey she sent after every visit. It gave us such peace of mind to see our furry friend happy and well-cared-for. Elizabeth's prompt replies to our messages only added to our overall satisfaction with her service. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire her again to take care of Bailey. Her kindness and dedication was evident in every interaction, and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. A heartfelt thanks to Elizabeth for making our experience so wonderful!”

“Rachel has taken great care of Cookie on multiple occasions for me. Cookie always has a big smile on her face and a wagging tail whenever she sees Rachel, so clearly Rachel has won her over. If I am ever in a pinch and need someone to look after Cookie, Rachel has reliably been there to do so. She also always asks me how my dog is doing, which shows she clearly cares about her 4-legged friends. I could not recommend Rachel more!”
