About: I have experience caring for furry dog friends. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, giving medication, and providing attention and playtime. Whether your dog is energetic or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Hi, my name is G'la! I'm excited to meet new pets and provide them with loving, reliable care. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to offer consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, playtime, or just keeping a furry friend company, I truly enjoy making pets a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I adjust my care based on each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar space—feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication, and plenty of companionship. I also make sure the home stays clean, safe, and secure. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space, enrichment, and supervision. I keep to their feeding and exercise schedule and give them lots of affection and attention to help them feel at ease while they're away from home.
About: Free Meet & Greets! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. From growing up with dogs and cats to caring for senior pets and high energy puppies. I’m the kind of person who talks to animals like they’re family, and I treat each pet with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. What sets me apart? I pay close attention to a pet’s individual needs and energy. Whether your pup needs a long walk to burn energy, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your senior dog needs slow, gentle care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m comfortable administering medications, sticking to specific feeding or care routines, and keeping communication open with you so you feel at ease while you're away. I’m currently fully available and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening snuggles, I’ve got the time and energy to be there when you need me. Your pet will get consistent care and attention, every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs to make sure your pet feels secure and comfortable. I keep spaces clean, remove any hazards, and never leave pets unsupervised in situations that could be unsafe (like off-leash unless fenced). In your home, I respect your space just as much as I respect your pet—I treat it with care and leave things just as I found them (or cleaner!). I know it takes trust to let someone care for your furry family, and I take that seriously. Clear communication and gentle, attentive care are what I bring every time.

Elisabeth D.
“Liz is truly the best dog sitter and walker we could ask for! My two small dogs, Rio and Rosie, absolutely adore her. She has stayed with them many times over the years, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. Liz is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond — sending updates and pictures so I know how happy and well cared for they are. She’s incredibly patient and kind, and even my shy little Rosie warmed up to her right away. When Liz stays with them, the house is always left spotless and the dogs are calm, happy, and clearly loved. We trust her completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and truly wonderful pet sitter. — Rebecca P.”

She’s attentive, responsible, and truly understands animals. Any pet in her care will be in the best hands possible!”
Elyse G.
“Elyse is so on top of things. She asked me questions and did a great job of what I’m asking for. I would like to have her back to take care my cat next time.”
Mia A.
“Mia has a gift for working with animals. She started having pets at a young age with fish, mice, hamsters and birds, taking joy in interacting with them, feeding them, always being the first one to notice any health concerns. As she grew older she went to zoo camp, to SCPA camp, and she graduated to counselor sharing her love of animals with other children. Over the last few years she has regularly walked her many dogs, cleaned up after them, made sure they received needed vet care and nursed them back to health after surgery or illness. When younger, she would walk her two Chihuahua mixes, and helped care for them as they aged, became less mobile, and needed extra attention and medications. As a young adult, she raised one puppy Pit Bull from 6 weeks (now 5 years old), and adopted a mistreated Pit/Lab mix, who is now her best friend and companion. She is excellent at ensuring their routines are followed and spending quality time with them. She uses treats wisely, and has trained her dogs to follow her lead, sit and wait when commanded. She ensures regular vet care and gives medications, applies lotions and other vet-prescribed care with kindness. As she has started dog walking and care professionally, she has been a reliable, trusted caregiver. She has demonstrated her capacity with all types of dogs and her understanding that dogs not only need food, water and walking or play, but also interaction, reassurance, and love. I admire her ease with and love for animals, and am glad she can share her gift with other pet owners.”
Kelly W.
“Kelly is a dream of a pet sitter. I have an 11 year old rescue that has her quirks and Kelly is so sweet and so good with her. She’s sat for me about 10 times so far and not only do I not have to worry at all about my pup, Kelly treats my home with the same care. I feel like my house looks better than when I left! Kelly is trustworthy, a good problem solver, detail oriented and most of all she gives my dog so much love while I’m gone. I’ll continue to hire her as long as she’s available!”
