About: Hello! I’m Liz, a K-1 teacher with a passion for understanding the unique, non-verbal personalities of our beloved pets. With extensive personal experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, I know that animal communication is all in the details—from a swish of a tail to a specific reptilian posture. I am responsible, nurturing, and looking to fill my extra time by providing capable, knowledgeable care for your "fur kids." Whether it’s high-energy dog walking or keeping your scaled/finned friends on their specific schedules, your pets will be safe, loved, and thoroughly engaged. I am currently working as a teacher in the afternoon and have morning and evening availability M-F for dog walking, daily check-in's, house sitting and more. As a K-1 teacher, I specialize in "reading the room" and picking up on non-verbal cues, a skill that allows me to provide an exceptional level of observant, intuitive care for your pets. My approach is rooted in safety and structured communication; I don’t just "stop by," but instead actively monitor body language—from a cat’s tail swish to a reptile’s posture—to ensure every animal is thriving. You can expect detailed updates after every visit regarding behavior, appetite, and health, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m double-checking heat and humidity settings for your exotic pets or maintaining hyper-vigilance during dog walks, I treat your home and "fur kids" with the highest level of professional responsibility, ensuring your space is secure and your pets feel safe, seen, and loved.
