Experienced Dogsitter and Dogwalker
Pet care experience
- 6 years of experience dog sitting and dog walking - Frequently stay in the client's home - Basic housekeeping and tidying is provided in my services - Trained a German Shepherd to walk with and without a leash - "Dog whisperer" is a common nickname given to me - Commonly watched over rescue dogs; I have experience watching dogs who exhibit separation anxiety and PTSD. I am currently a senior at UVA, studying neuroscience. Although my workload may be heavy at times, I am actually quite flexible! My daily routine begins at 6am and ends around 10pm at night. During the week, I take classes mostly in the afternoon, ending at 6:15pm. My mornings and early afternoons are free, in terms of class time; I usually study and relax during those times. Regarding the weekend, I like to devote my time to light travel and spending time with friends. Nonetheless, I am available most of the day to watch over your doggie(s) both during the week and the weekend! I will ensure that no food or liquids are accessible, keep their collar on at all times, walk them with a leash, make sure fences/gates are closed, set alarms for feeding/potty times, and update the owner about any recent changes in behavior. I will also have my car with me, just in case there is an emergency.
Reviews
Elizabeth was AMAZING with my needy puppy. I will definitely use her again! She sent frequent updates and videos, which I appreciated so much!
She did a great job. Prompt punctual and reliable.
Elizabeth is an attentive and tidy pet sitter. She took care of my elderly cat and my needy dog for several days. She sent updates and was super attuned to their needs. I returned to a spotless house and very happy pets.
Elizabeth stayed with my elderly pup for a week while we were on vacation. My pup had canine dementia, and so she was a pretty high maintenance dog. Elizabeth was amazing. She took care of Daisy’s physical needs, including her daily walks, and also gave Daisy constant love and companionship. She gave me daily updates of how she was doing, along with pictures to ease my mind. It was close to the end of my dog’s life, and I was anxious about leaving her, but Elizabeth dispelled my fears within the first day. Her kindness and patience with my pup were so appreciated. She also took excellent care of our home, as I think it was more clean when I got home from vacation than it was before I left! I highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for someone caring and trustworthy to care for your pet.

Information Elizabeth K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any preexisting behavioral "issues" that I will need to account for. It is best that I know these qualities before handling your pup!
A typical day
I love to take dogs for walks and find places where they can roam and smell (i.e. dog parks), ya know, socialize! If the owner is comfortable, I like to also take dogs for car rides to the mountains. That way they can scenic views!
