Why I Started Woof Hoof Mew (And What Drives Our Team)


Woof Hoof Mew was never meant to be “just” a pet sitting company.


I created it from a simple concept: our animals and their people deserve thoughtful, loving, compassionate care from people who truly understand responsibility. When I started this business here in the Conifer and Evergreen mountain communities, I saw a need for something more structured — a team-based model built on professionalism, accountability, trust, and heart.


Not just someone stopping by. A system that protects pets and supports families.


Built on Love, Compassion, and Trust


Woof Hoof Mew was built from the belief that pet care is deeply personal.


We are invited into homes during vulnerable moments — vacations, emergencies, long workdays, health challenges, life transitions. When someone gives us access to their homes, they are placing trust in us, not just hiring a service.


We care about the emotional wellbeing of every animal in our care. We notice subtle changes in behavior. We adjust to personality and energy. We move gently with seniors. We sit patiently with anxious pets. We celebrate the joyful, goofy, adventurous ones too.


The animals aren't the only ones who get our full attention. We care deeply for the humans who are lucky enough to be owned by them. The Woof Hoof Mew team becomes a part of our clients' support network as they navigate all that life has to throw at them. We take the time to ensure that our clients are able to reach out to us during the important moments.


Love and compassion are not marketing words for us. They are how we show up.

Trust is earned visit by visit, through consistency, communication, and true presence.


Embodying Professionalism and Reliability


Love alone is not enough.


Pet care also requires structure, preparation, and a willingness to take responsibility seriously.

Over the years, I have received calls from families in panic because a sitter failed to show up, communication stopped, or safety protocols were missing. Those moments shaped how we built this company.


We chose to embrace compliance and professional standards fully — not because it is easy, but because it protects the pets and families who trust us.


Our team operates with:

  • Clear communication systems

  • Structured scheduling

  • Consistent training standards

  • Formal state registration and full insurance coverage

  • Emergency planning protocols

  • Backup coverage systems

  • Pet CPR and safety education

  • Detail-oriented, white-glove service


It takes effort and investment to build a business responsibly. We believe those foundations matter. Pet care should never feel uncertain. It should feel steady.


A True Team Approach


We are not a single sitter juggling appointments.


We are a coordinated team that supports one another and shares responsibility. That structure ensures consistency, reliability, and accountability — even when life happens. Behind every visit is communication, oversight, and planning.


Deeply Rooted in Our Mountain Community


Woof Hoof Mew was built right here in Conifer.


We are proud members of the Conifer Chamber of Commerce and honored to have been named Rookie Business of the Year. That recognition reflects something important to us: we are not just a service provider — we are part of this community. We have also been chosen as best pet care provider in the foothill communities for the past four years on Next-Door.


Our clients are our neighbors. Their pets are part of our daily lives.

We believe in building long-term relationships, not transactions.


Why It Matters


Pet care is personal.


When someone chooses Woof Hoof Mew, they are choosing a team that values responsibility, transparency, and connection. We are committed to operating with integrity — in how we care for animals, how we structure our business, and how we show up for our community.


Thank you to the families who have trusted us over the years. We do not take that responsibility lightly, and we cherish every moment we spend with you and your fur babies. For those of you who are not yet our clients, we look forward to welcoming you to the Woof Hoof Mew family.


Warm Wags,

❤️ Elizabeth
