About: I have been a dog lover for many years! I used to have a farm dog growing up & I now have a dog of my own, Bear, who is a border collie/ golden retriever mix! I always make sure fresh water is readily available, I have extra food/ water bowls as well. I like to take 2-4 mile walks throughout the day. I bring a portable water dish and treats. I do regularly brush my dog, I would be happy to do the same with your puppers! I will interact with your puppers by a tug of war game, fetch, and a mental stimulation puzzle toy! I have administered oral medications before as well! I am home most of the day, occasionally I will leave for a couple hours to run errands or hang out with friends. My weekends are usually always open. I do not have a fenced in back yard, so my dog, Bear, is always on a leash, he has a harness on walks. My experience with my own dog is he is hyper and active, I try my best to keep up with his energy level!
“My dogs adore Elizabeth! My great pyrenees, while friendly, rarely let's strangers touch him right away and immediately let Libby pet him! She was able to control both my young german shepherd and my great pyrenees on a walk without issue. She even asked if she could bring treats for them that she bought herself. She made sure to put everything back where she found it and made sure that my black german shepherd didn't get too hot on his walk. I will definitely book with her again!!”

Jeanette V.
“Jeanette is a very caring and responsible person. Her family has always owned pets and now that she is out on her own she has a fish and adopted a cat from the local humane society. She really wanted a dog however she was mature enough to realize that with her work schedule she would not have the time needed to care for a dog properly. She has several dog sitting experiences and understands the importance of following an owner's instructions.”
