Servicing Los Angeles and the surrounding areas
Hello
My name is Elizabeth R.
For 25+ years I have been a working actress, director, activist, and storyteller. I am from the east coast, Tennessee growing up in the country. Taking care of pets and being outdoors was second nature to me. Like many artists, I had to have my “day job.” I never considered walking dogs or overnight pet care. I had my pretty mundane boring real estate and finance career. I didn’t want to be a starving artist or work tireless hours at a job I did not truly want.
I didn’t have much family and wanted to have more personable connection in my life that I was not getting in my other day job. I was at a loss to find a way to support my art doing a day job I actually loved while feeling fulfilled at the end of the day. I was over working for companies and careers that simply did not fulfill my needs, emotions, and connection with others I needed. I was stuck behind a desk and missed my childhood growing up in nature in the country playing outside with animals.
A friend of mine that was a successful television actress introduced me to a pet care app where I could make a living on the side while pursuing my passion. I love animals with all my heart and soul. From the first booking I got on his app with this super cute puppy, a German Sheppard I fell in love with it. He would stare at me, follow me everywhere around the house, and never left my side. I felt so bad he would have to stay for hours in his crate. Luckily the owner, a busy anesthesiologist that worked long hours found me on this app. I was a natural at this due to my artistic, creative, and spiritual background where I could cross over many relevant skills.
I was able to solve her issue with finding a trusting dog walker / overnight pet sitter when she would have to be away at the hospital overnight quite often. She and her cute puppy lived a couple of buildings down from me. I felt like from the first time with this puppy I had an unexpected calling aside from being an artist. I was always excited to see him and go on fun walking adventures in the DTLA area.
I can honestly say that the love and attention from pets is unlike anything I ever experienced with human. I love what I do. I continued to show up, give great customer service, and spoil my clients. Before I knew it 9 years went by, and I finally launched my own business that has thrived ever since.
I was busy, busy, busy like everyone in LA juggling so many things at once. We can all relate to that. Many of my clients confided in me that they had many past unfavorable experiences with past dog walkers / pet sitters, and apps. I listened to each one of them patiently trying to find out their needs and how we could help solve their issues standing out from the rest. Trust, customer service, convenience, and flexibility were often the biggest hurdles for most clients looking for quality pet care.
We simply give our clients comfort, convenience, and the ability to give them peace of mind when they are away. We are very experienced with sick pets that require medications and older pets that may need a bit more TLC. It’s a challenge to find a quality pet care provider that will not overlook pet care owners that may need more maintenance or care for their Furrly pets.
We have even cared for pets in hospice. We have an exceptionally high retention rate with our pet owners. They always come back to us and book over and over. We are there go to when they need a quick walk or overnight care. Many of them turned to be great long-time clients and personal friends.
I continued my journey taking care of many Furrly babies as an active volunteer for the Kitty Bungalow, A Charm School for Wayward Cats for 8 years and love every moment of it. This wonderful organization has fully trained me on how to care for pets in aspects of feeding, medical issues, illnesses & disease care, administering medications, sanitary procedures, grooming, administrative duties, animal behavior, how to deal with difficult pets, assisting in TNR, helping with charity events and holiday fundraisers, and much more!
I have also volunteered for several animal shelters in Los Angeles as the ASPCA and NKLA (No-Kill Los Angeles) in the care for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens.
Pet care has changed my life for the better. We are known for our trustworthiness, reliability, safety, and FUN!
What makes us different from your average pet care company?
We welcome all your Furrly Friends. We welcome dogs, cats, adopted outdoor homeless and feral cats, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, and other furry domestic cuties.
We will promise to leave your Furrly home in same cleanliness and condition it was when we arrived.
We are especially Furrly and efficient with multiple pet bookings. The more the Furrlier.

Elizabeth was excellent! She stayed in our house with our two dogs for a week and they clearly loved her. She sent updates which I really appreciated. She left the house very clean! We’ll be booking her again and are very excited we found such an excellent sitter!

I really appreciated how Elizabeth scheduled an initial visit before the actual day to familiarize herself with the space and meet Sesame. She was very timely and communicative through the process and very flexible with our schedule as well. Would definitely work with her again!

Elizabeth was so great with our pups! It was such a relief to know they were being so well taken care of while we were away. She checked in everyday with photos and updates, and we know they were in loving caring hands.
