The care our pets received while we were traveling was unmatched! The pet sitter was on it the entire time and that let us relax while traveling. One of our cats is a special needs, older cat with a heart condition and it so reassuring to have Elizabeth there with him and the other two cats. We appreciated the attention to details, extensive experience, proactive and problem solving recommendations, and communication style she provided. We also appreciated having the owner of a local business work with us rather than someone sending an inexperienced and seemingly disinterested employee instead. We will be using Elizabeth in the future and highly recommend this pet service! read more

Elizabeth has been our dog sitter for a few years now. She is extremely reliable and conscientious and goes above and beyond expectations. During hot weather, she put a cooling vest on our dog and showed us what size to get for him if we wished. She sends us photos of his smiling face when she greets him. She has been a great asset for our family and especially our dog. read more

Additionally, but also very importantly, Mochi experienced severe intussusception as a puppy and with surgery, lost a large part of her intestines. This detail was included in Mochi's profile, care bio on Rover.com, as well as discussed directly with Elizabeth in text and in person. She Neglected my special needs dog instructions , When I picked up my dog she was Limping, Unable to use her hind legs and dragging her self with her front legs.

My puppy Hailey loves Elizabeth! Elizabeth is very experienced with all training levels of dogs. She knows how to socialize a puppy and she makes Hailey very happy.

Every time I take Hailey to Elizabeth, she's always very excited to see her. I know Elizabeth loves Hailey too. She is very patient with my puppy Hailey. She clips her nails and makes sure she's healthy and content. She sends me pictures of Hailey all the time. If you are looking for a pet sitter, Please contact Elizabeth. She is great and I trust her! I asked Elizabeth for help when my job's schedules got changed last year and wasn't able to exercise Hailey in the mornings. Elizabeth takes Hailey to dog parks with other dogs and makes sure dogs are vaccinated. One time I had a family emergency and had to go to SF, Elizabeth took care of her very well. It really reduced a lot of my stress by knowing that Hailey is with her and is safe. She is very responsive. She also taught me a lot of basics on how to train a dog. Hailey and I both love and trust her . read more

Elizabeth is great. When I asked for assistance with pet hydration, nail trimming and meds, she arrived in a couple of hours. My cat immediately trusted her and struggled very little throughout the process. Her prices are more than fair. read more

I've trusted my Labradoodle Molly to Elizabeth's care for six years, both for dog park visits and extended stays at Elizabeth's home.

Elizabeth is terrific with dogs and is easy to contact for bookings. It's great to have such a reliable petsitter in town. She works really hard to keep our dog entertained and goes on many walks and fun adventures with the dogs in her care. She has a really solid system down. We always get awesome update photos from her on how our dog is doing, in which our dog looks like she's having the time of her life. When we get our dog back, she is always tired and happy, like she's been partying hard the whole time we were away. read more

Elizabeth's Pet Sitting - An update from Elizabeth - Pet Sitting Near Me - Davis, California

We used Elizabeth for overnight pet sitting and for weekly dog sitting for 3 years while living in Davis. She's one of the few people we've found who was able to manage our boisterous hound/beagle mix--and always with a smile on her face! Elizabeth is prompt to respond to communication via text, periodically sends photos of her pack of dogs while out on walks, and clearly cares about all of the dogs (and other animals) she looks after as if they were her own. I highly recommend Elizabeth's Pet Sitting to anyone looking for a reliable caretaker of their furry loved one in the area. read more

Elizabeth is really great with our dog. She's our go to pet sitter whenever we go out of town! Miley loves going to her house!

Amazing!!! Elizabeth is the only one I trust with my dogs! I am one of those people who many think love their dogs just a tad too much maybe. They are my very best friends and they are treated completely equal to any other family member. They bring us so much joy and happiness that it is hard to fully put into words. That being said I went through 4 other potentially dog sitters before I found Elizabeth. I am thorough! I do not just dump my fur babies and leave i thoroughly checked Elizabeth's business out and made sure that all conditions were up to my standards! My dogs 2 very small dogs are accustomed to a 1.5 mile walk, once in the morning and once at night and at least a 1 hour dog park trip every single day so i had to make sure that Elizabeth could accommodate their active lifestyles! All of my expectations and desires were met and exceeded! She takes the dogs to the dog park twice a day and all the dogs that she brings around she makes she they are well socialized enough to interact safety with even my 6LB toy poodle! She follows my feeding instructions to the letter and is constantly sending me updates on how they are doing and pictures of them both day and night! Elizabeth is also SO easily to contact and communicate with! She always responds so quickly and even has no problem meeting me wherever she is at in her day to get my dogs! Elizabeth's Dog Sitting is the only person my family trusts to leave our fur babies with and it is such a huge relief to not have to worry about our babies because we know they are in great hands! Thank you again Elizabeth!!! read more

While in the area for a family emergency, I had to the opportunity through my desperation, of contacting Liz and begging for help. She was able to squeeze me In. A matter of us both adjusting schedules, and like that, I was able to bring all of my pets to her and maintain a sense of calm during the 4 days I had to tend to my grandmother who raised me. Mind you, I have a cat. Birds and rabbits! She's worth it and the tip as well! As for reviews I just took a chance to look at it, looks like this is slander and from a lawyers perspective, cease and desist writing them or their will be an even bigger issue legally! Thanks Liz, see you around! read more

(We love that) we have even had her pick up our dogs just to walk them. She is quick at responding and always takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend her! read more

Elizabeth is awesome, she takes wonderful care of our Jack Russell mix and border collie mix. They always come home happy and smiling and well cared for. She sends lots of pictures to keep us updated and we are really grateful for her skill with the dogs. Our border collie is on medication which Elizabeth skillfully administers and doesn't always get along with other dogs in our experience, but Elizabeth is so good with her. She always comes home better trained and socialized then we left her :-) read more

Elizabeth does an excellent job taking care of our Basset Hound named Buster. No one told him he is supposed be low energy, but Elizabeth is able to exercise him and magically he returns as a well-behaved gentleman hound. She is a true animal person.

Elizabeth's Pet Sitting - Buster the Basset Hound! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Davis, California

Elizabeth has always taken good care of our cats, Bug and Fern, and our previous cat Hobbes. Our cat Bug has numerous medical issues and Elizabeth has been attentive with him, messaging us when she observes any changes in his behavior. She is flexible and communicative, and goes beyond her duties despite a busy schedule. For example, when we recently had a delayed flight, she agreed to stay for an extra visit, and she has even vacuumed the area around our litter boxes just to keep the floor clean for our return. In addition, her prices are very reasonable for her services, and while we pay for a 30 minute visit twice daily, she will often stay overnight at the house which means our cats are getting a lot more company than they otherwise would. We would recommend Elizabeth to others in the area! read more

Elizabeth is a dog whisperer! Lady, our female Husky, loves going over to Elizabeth's and always comes back happier. Also, of you are an anxious puppy parent like me, Elizabeth will send daily pics of your baby to prove they are safe and having a great time! read more

Elizabeth made an appointment to meet with me and did not show up. She didn't even send an email to cancel. Very unprofessional - don't waste your time trying to book her as a dog sitter. read more

Elizabeth is great for daycare and overnights for my pup! My golden retriever has such a fun time with her

I was really looking forward to having this be our local pet sitting service for our golden retriever - but we won't be coming back. We dropped our puppy off to stay with Elizabeth for the weekend and based on the five star reviews, were expecting him to be much better cared for. Upon arrival, I was told there were many other dogs inside and to leave him and his things outside. I couldn't even see where he would be spending his time and what the other dogs were like. The updates provided were very basic, I had to ask specific questions to get more detail. I was sent a few cute pictures but it seemed like I was an annoyance every time I texted to check in. Upon pickup - our puppy was FILTHY! I've never seen him look and feel so dirty! Elizabeth told me that one of the pipes had burst at the dog park earlier that morning. I asked her if she could please give him a bath before I put him in my car to take him home. She responded "Sorry, no". As soon as I got home and I had to spend an hour trying to wash the filth off our puppies fur, clean out his ears and nails. I texted Elizabeth expressing my disappointment - she venmo'd me $20 for my troubles. I expected much better from Elizabeth. We won't be going back and I do not recommend this pet sitting service. read more

Elizabeth is great! She's always taken great care of our GSP when we've had to be out of town and, we have really appreciated having the ability to send our dog with Elizabeth for weekly doggie outings to the dog park with her friends. We really appreciate the text message updates and pictures she sends when she has our pup. Communicating with Elizabeth has never been an issue. She's definitely good at what she does! read more

Elizabeth has cared for our two cats in our home for a couple of years now. She is extremely reliable and we appreciate that she almost always seems to be available, often on short notice. She's also super responsive--sometimes getting back to us within minutes. Nearly every visit from Elizabeth has involved something "extra" like giving the cats medications or trimming their claws, and it's great to have someone who has professional animal care/handling experience so that we know that the medications will actually get inside the cat! I highly recommend Elizabeth as a reliable, responsive catsitter. read more

I live in Oakland, I was recently in DavIs for a vet appointment and had also scheduled a work meeting. I left my 8 month old corgi with ElIzabeth. I had over scheduled and she patiently waited at a convenient pick up location for me. While I rushed off, she send me these darling photos of my boy. I came to pick him up at her home and met a couple of the other doggies. I felt so safe and happy with her! I would use her again and wish I had someone like her closer to home. read more

Elizabeth is flexible and reliable. Rudy enjoys his time with friends and comes home very tired.

My family has used Elizabeth often on for 10 years now. Besides being a wonderful person, she's been absolutely fantastic with our pets. We have used her for reoccurring dog walking, sitting, and overnight visits throughout the years, and she has always been reliable. In addition to the usual care, she has been a huge help with our timid rescue dog; she has worked with her on her reactivity and training, and has helped her become more comfortable in public. Although we have not used her boarding services, we trust her whole heartedly to be with our pets while we're out of town. Thank you Elizabeth, you're the best! read more

The best pet sitting services in the area, our 7 year old dog Olivia enjoying it since she was 4 month old.

She is great and we trust her. read more

Elizabeth Barthel is a fabulous pet sitter. I have had her come to my home at a moments notice during an emergency situation. Her rates are very comparative to other pet sitters in the Davis area. Daily visits to the dog park and updates on how my pet is enjoying socializing with the other dogs gives me comfort that she truly cares for the pets in her care. She is a 5 star pet sitter!! read more

Elizabeth has been looking after our dog (and now two dogs) -- both for daycare and overnight boarding -- since I started a job in Davis in 2017. We were desperate: my partner and I both worked long days with long commutes, and there was no way we could leave Siduri, our energetic 10 month old cattle dog puppy, at home alone all day. However, in general, Siduri is not a huge fan of new people. I didn't know what to do, but I found Elizabeth online and gave her a call. When we took Siduri for a meet and greet with Elizabeth, we knew right away she was different and understood our puppy's unique personality. Siduri seemed to immediately respect her -- no barking or growling in evidence. That respect soon grew to love, such that Siduri was thrilled to abandon me when I dropped her off every morning. She returned in the evening delightfully tired out from a day of explorations with Elizabeth. Since COVID, my work arrangements have changed and we live an hour and a half away; we still drive to Davis to board Siduri (and now our other dog as well) with Elizabeth any time we travel without them. There really isn't anyone else we would trust so completely to love our dogs, to demand (and earn) their respect and good behavior, and to ensure their mental and physical health in my absence. Beyond being a wonderful and concientious caretaker of our dogs, Elizabeth is always responsive and so flexible. My work schedule is not always predictable, and she has been so adaptable in pick up and drop off times and dates. Honestly, I don't know what our family would do without her. read more

Elizabeth is always very professional and extremely dependable. She's been caring for our rabbit for years now (when we are out of town) and we can always count on her to take great care of him and send us daily updates letting us know everything is alright. We never worry about Bunz when Elizabeth is in charge! read more

I honestly don't know what i would do without Elizabeth. It's been over a year now since I've left my dog with her for every vacation, and i am continuously impressed. My dog isn't the friendliest chihuahua ever but he happens to LOVE Elizabeth. Usually i am super worried who i leave my dog with while i'm on vacation but Elizabeth is definitely someone you can rely on. I feel so safe when i leave my dog with her. She will send you pictures and also respond super quickly for updates on your dog. All i can say is, she's the best!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth's pet sitting. My cocker spaniel Buster was in Elizabeth's pet play group twice a week while I was back in Davis for several months during the pandemic. Elizabeth is great with the dogs and the socialization improved Buster's life so much. Contact Elizabeth if you want to give your dog the best care and new doggie friends. Pamela read more
