Dog lover/mama at your service!
Pet care experience
I am a 35 year old professional, educated woman who has been loving and caring for dogs since childhood. I grew up with two German Shorthaired Pointers (family dogs) and assisted in the training of and caring for them until I left for college. During college in New York City, I worked as a live-in nanny and personal assistant to a family who had a Large Munsterlander. I was responsible for walking, medicating, and feeding their dog, Rufus, each day. In New York, I also did occasional paid dog-sitting for friends and neighbors. In 2012, I moved out to California and adopted an English Pointer puppy. I have been solely responsible for his healthcare, vigorous daily exercise, socialization, and training ever since. I am friends with many dog owners, breeders, handlers/exhibitors, and I have volunteered at the Westminster Meet the Breeds event to help educate the public on the English Pointer breed. As a lifelong dog lover and a dedicated dog mom, I'm confident that your pup would be delighted to have me around in your absence! (I have never cared for cats before, and am unsure if I'd be the best choice for a kitty sitter, though.) I treat every dog as if they’re my own. I also LOVE puppies and have so much love and patience for them. I require a meet and greet prior to confirming a sitting booking. Subsequent meet and greets after the first must be booked as a drop in visit. Please note that key pick up and drop off is $15 per trip. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Thank you!
Reviews
A thoughtful, caring, and competent young woman. He highly recommend her.
Elle did a wonderful job with my big, huge baby (125 lb lab -only 2 and still thinks he’s a lap dog). She was incredibly accommodating and flexible as we asked her if she could watch my fiancé’s border collie at the last minute (coverage fell through), and she totally took it in stride. She communicated with us regularly while we were gone, exercised the dogs, was able to handle their energy and gave them tons of love and affection. You can tell that she loves dogs and they love her. I will DEFINITELY use her again and absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants someone who is trustworthy, clear on what she offers, communicates well, and sends pictures. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned. Thanks, Elle!!! ?
Elizabeth took great care of my two Pomeranians. They looked very happy cuddling and playing in the photos!
We had a great experience with Elizabeth. She took great care of our energetic boy, Tucker, and especially flexible with our last minute schedule around the holidays. She was great with updates and pictures of her visits and walks. We would definitely go to her again!
About Elizabeth M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets primarily in the dog owners' home (since I'm in a rental), with advance notice so I can make accommodations for my own pup :)
Information Elizabeth M. would like to know about your pet
Please be as honest and open with me as possible, and let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors to keep in mind (i.e. is he or she dog friendly, small child friendly, okay with strangers, able to swim, a big puller, etc).
A typical day
Love playing with the Chuck-it ball, going to nearby parks, and am open to suggestions tailored to what your pup enjoys! Snuggle time is my personal favorite.

My schedule is currently quite flexible! I’m not working right now due to corporate layoffs at my last company, so I’m very open and flexible.
