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.
Communication
Skills
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
Our dogs had the best time! Elisabeth and Mike made them feel right at home and I could not recommend them more; they were quick to reply and sent a lot of great pics as we had them boarded! If you need someone to watch your dogs this is who you should choose
Elisabeth is phenomenal! She watched our pups for 5 days and provided them with the best care. She was very aware of each dog’s needs/rules and was so attentive. We also had some logistical complexity during our time in Steamboat, and she was so easy to work with, super communicative, and very helpful!
Elisabeth is incredibly responsive and caring. I was so happy to hear about the great day Merlin had and felt so comfortable knowing he was well-taken care of and given lots of attention and exercise. Fantastic pet sitter!! One of the most professional people I have ever encountered on Rover.
Elisabeth and Mike were incredible sitters for my 11 year old higher anxiety cattle dog mix pup, Hazel for a week while I was on a work trip to Steamboat Springs. I always struggle leaving her with new people but they very adamantly listened to all the needs I expressed about Hazel's care and as a result make it very easy to trust that I was leaving her in good care. One of my favorite things was that as a dog with separation anxiety, Hazel never had to be alone during doggy daycare! It was clear after the week that she was so loved and well cared for that she didn't want to go home! I'm so grateful for Elisabeth's trustability, reliability, communication, cute pictures, and catering Hazel's experience to her needs over the course of the week. I only wish I lived closer so Hazel could see them more often!
