House Sitting in Zoar

“She was awesome! Sent us lots of pictures of our pup and cat, kept track of when our pup went out and what she did outside, and when/what they ate. Most importantly, our pets seemed very happy in her care. Definitely would like to book with her again!!”

“We were very pleased with Leora. We called her two days before we needed her. It was our the first time. She stayed at our house to watch our Willie. She came a half hour before we left. We went over all the information with her and she asked questions if she needed to. During the time here she sent updates and pictures of Willie which put us at ease. The most important thing to us was giving Willie his shots of insulin. I would strongly recommend Leora. I'm sure we will use her again.”

“Elicia did an amazing job watching our doodle, Finley. She stayed at our house and made sure he was taken care of. I would certainly book with Elicia again.”

About: My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I have had dogs in my family since I was 10. I have a flexible schedule and work part-time, so I can work with many other time requests and schedules. I can care for your pet on weekends also. I have a very large yard for your dog to play in and I have 2 friendly dogs to keep them company. I can crate your pet also if needed.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life — from growing up around horses and barn cats to caring for beloved family dogs. I have over 30 years of equine experience and have worked in a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant, which means I’m confident providing basic first aid, administering medications, and making sure your dog is safe, healthy, and happy. I have experience working as a vet tech and also worked as zookeeper at the NEW Zoo for a while. Today, I share my home with Luna, our fun-loving dog, and carry with me the experience of caring for our cherished golden doodle for 14 wonderful years. I live on a peaceful horse property with 5 acres of land (there is a safe fenced-in area for dogs away from the horses) where your dog will have plenty of space to run, sniff, and explore — or simply relax in the fresh country air. My goal is to make every dog feel like they’re part of the family, because to me, they truly are. I currently work from home so I am always available to love your pet and take care of their needs! I love taking care of dogs! Your dog will love my 5 acres of open land, plus a fenced yard and secure playpen for safe play. I also have three gentle, dog-friendly horses who keep the atmosphere calm and welcoming. I do have three cats, but they are barn cats and when they see a new dog, they are very, very good at hiding out. I live on a street that is tucked away from the busy road . Inside my house it is very pet friendly and I do have a nice kennel that dogs are able to go in if they need that.

Whether you have a playful pup, a cuddly kitty, or a senior pet with special needs—I’m here to provide dependable, loving care tailored to their needs. In addition to working at a humane society—where I walked, groomed, medicated, and supported dogs of all breeds—I’ve also been a trusted, independent pet sitter for many years. I’ve cared for pets in all kinds of situations and homes, giving me well-rounded experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pet. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets at once (up to five at a time), and I have experience with: Special diets and medication routines Frequent potty breaks or incontinence care Basic training like potty training and simple commands Shy or anxious cats who need extra patience and gentleness Whether it's a drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I treat every pet like family. Thank you for considering me to care for your furry loved ones—I’d love to meet them soon! I have open availability and a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s needs—whether that’s drop-ins, pick-ups/drop-offs, walks, overnight care, or medication routines. I’m committed to following your pet’s usual routine and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times. I care for your pets as if they were my own—always with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs. Whether I’m in your home or caring for them in mine, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I follow your instructions closely to make sure both you and your pet feel secure, respected, and at ease throughout our time together.

“When I read the profile for Elyse, I immediately thought this is the kind of person I want caring for our dog kiddos. We had a meet and greet; she took detailed notes on all three dogs, on the household routine, and we were so impressed. Elyse is professional, experienced, caring, and kind. I’m a first time River user and consider myself extremely lucky to have found this quality of care, in our home. Elyse is an outstanding person and dog/house sitter!!”
