About: I’m reliable, patient, loving, and a dog mom of two (13 & 5). I’d take care of your pup, like they’re mine! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as with basic dog training, reinforcing commands, and going on long and short walks. Sadly, I am a former government employee, who was laid off from my dream job. I have a lot of flexibility and availability and am looking forward to connecting! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to ensure each pet gets the attention and care they need — including my own! Whether it’s sticking to a regular walking schedule or drop-ins, I’m organized and reliable so pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pups in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure the dog feels safe and comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routine, feeding times, walks, playtime, and any training or medication they need. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, so I can respond to their needs and keep them happy. I also keep the owners updated with messages and photos, so they feel at ease while they're away.
“Liza Jean was amazing with our dogs! She walked them twice and was super communicative—always letting me know when she was on her way and how the visit went. She sent great photos and even included little updates like if they drank water or went potty, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs loved her and were so excited to see her. She was especially great with our more nervous, high-energy dog, which made me feel confident they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond to get them water when they needed it. Super professional, kind, and clearly great with animals. I’d definitely book with Liza Jean again!”
“Athena was incredibly patient with our dog who started to act up and felt uncooperative. She spent a solid 50 minutes patiently working to calm her down and succeeded in taking her out. Athena was also insistent upon taking them out for the full walk, despite the inconvenience caused by our dog.”
