High energy? Special needs?

Pet care experience

An animal lover from birth, I have cared for a wide variety of animals (domestic and farm) and all sizes & ages of dogs & cats I have extensive personal and professional experience caring for animals with special needs, from the unique needs of rescue animals to animals with medical conditions or senior care. I am a former athlete and am great with high energy animal friends who needs lots of running and play time. Dog that needs to run? I can take your dog for a run up to 4-5 miles upon request, with 24hr notice. Recently I had to put my 17yr old fur baby to sleep after her long fight with cancer and I am missing my fur friends. Over the years I have cared for: rescue dogs who had been abused and needing special care, dogs with horrible allergies needing to be cleaned after every trip outside, and dogs and cats suffering from cancer, heart disease, thyroid issues, anxiety, are deaf, blind or missing an eye, as well as no-fuss fur friends who love their human(s) and playing. Note: - For *same-day booking* requests I need at least 4hrs notification to be able to accommodate.

I am so grateful to have found Elisabeth, someone who Sampson adores! Knowing my big guy is being cared for and his routine respected (shorts, longs and sometimes just sniff’s) makes traveling a very relaxing experience.

Thank you Elisabeth for always taking excellent care and attention to our pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet walker/ sitter who will give individualized attention to your pet. She always looks out for the best interest of my dog and is able to accommodate certain “dog quirks” so that everyone feels comfortable. Safety and transparency is a priority for Elisabeth and it shows. Excellent communication either in person/ and the rover cards with pictures, which will give you piece of mind while away from home. She has great sense of humor, which is always appreciated. I would give 10 stars if I could! :-)

You know your animal family best so I customize my care for your animals based on what you share. I always walk dogs on leash and only take dogs to fenced areas for off-leash play when asked. If there are particular areas your fur babies like to walk and play please let me know! Having cared for a number of rescue animals, I'm always on the lookout to avoid situations where they may be triggered. Currently I work with one client's animals at a time rather than larger group walks. I also keep strict covid precautions to keep you and your animals healthy and safe. For house sitting/overnight care, I also provide plant care where needed. If you have specific requirements around Covid, please let me know. Note: I do not accept drop-in visits for dogs if you are going out of town for more than 24hrs and intend to leave your dog/s alone overnight. Please ask me if you have questions on this. :)

Information Elisabeth H. would like to know about your pet

I love to hear all about your relationship with your animal family and any information you can share ahead of time will help me give the attention they need while keeping them safe, such as: - their wonderful personality - their history - likes and dislikes - aggressive behaviors or triggers - injury or mobility issues - weather sensitivity (hates rain? needs a jacket?) - allergies - preferred exercise - separation anxiety - cannot be left alone Please also share any special requests, special treats, things and places that are off limits for your animal (no dogs on the sofa? etc.).

A typical day

I love to keep animals engaged and provide ample walking, running, and time outside. I focus walks towards safe quiet street and I aim to take your animal family to parks and greenways in your neighborhood. Play time and the style of play is always customized to your animal; from fetch to puzzle games, what ever your animal enjoys!
