Availability
* I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies!

About Elisabeth M.

Safety, trust & environment
* I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)

Information Elisabeth M. would like to know about your pet
* The more you share about your loved one, the better I am able to provide and mirror what they are used to receiving from you.
A typical day
* Short walks for daily bowels and medium-long walks/hike (30-45 minutes) for younger/more active dogs * Tug-of-war, frisbee or ball chasing, lots of cuddles * Cats: fun with laser pointer or catch the fish on the string. Lots of holding for them to knead/"making biscuits"

Reviews
I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. The love Elisabeth showed my dogs was truly incredible. Her daily text messages always put a smile on my face whenever I was missing them. She sent wonderful photos, walked them every day, talked to them just like I would, even sang songs to them, and even snuggled up with them during thunderstorms when they were scared. She is, without a doubt, the best dog sitter I could have ever asked for. She takes the time to understand each dog's personality and needs and she adjusts her care accordingly. It's clear that she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. I've since moved away and have used other sitters, but honestly, nobody has cared for my dogs with the same heart and dedication that Elisabeth did. If you're considering booking her, don't hesitate—you and your pets will be so glad you did.
