I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, happy, and loved — whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time, playtime, or simply keeping their routine consistent while you’re away. My current routine gives me the flexibility and availability to provide dependable, attentive care for pets throughout the day.

I make sure they stay on their normal routine with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention so they feel comfortable and secure.

Communication with owners is also important to me, so I provide updates and photos for peace of mind.
“Liz is FANTASTIC. Scheduling and communication were very easy. My dog is shy and fearful around new people, but he warmed up to Liz immediately. She knew exactly how to approach him and pick up on his cues and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.”

About: I grew up around pets, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Being with them from a young age taught me how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to their different needs and personalities.

Those experiences really strengthened my love for animals and showed me how important gentle, consistent care is.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available when needed!!!

I will also give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so clients can feel confident their pets are happy and in good hands.
“Wayne is so wonderful with our puppy Finn. Finn is so excited to see Wayne every week & he takes such good care of Finn. Wayne is reliable, attentive & so great with both our dogs!”
“Tiara was great at checking in before her first walk with Rocky. She arrived and asked good questions about where to find all of his things, and how to handle running into other dogs on their walk. Rocky had lunch, a nice walk, and got to play with all of his puzzle toys with Tiara! We’ve already booked our next walks with her.”
