I love all animals, esp. yours!

Pet care experience

After spending years taking care of the ocean dogs (seals and sea lions) and animals (sea turtles, seabirds, and whales!) I am ready to use my animal handling, medication distribution, and daily enrichment skills to help out terrestrial dogs and cats! Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, specifically, pit bulls, which caused my love for all dogs, especially bully breeds, to grow. I grew up walking dogs at local animal shelters and then coming home to take care of my own pets. I have volunteered at animal shelters for the past three years as a dog walker, and now, I would love to use these skills to help take care of your furry family member! While currently looking for work in the marine biology field, I make sure to have plenty of time to care for your animal and treat them like my own! On my weekends, I spend most of my time at home or out exploring the island, so your pet will constantly have a buddy who will love and look after them! I have varied experience taking care of pets with all different kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. I will make sure your pets get lots of love, playtime, and specialty care!

Elisabeth was wonderful with my two crazy huskies. Not many people can handle my two, but as soon as I met her, I knew she could handle the job. She went above and beyond for us this weekend. There was a minor eye injury with my female, and she notified me right away, and sent photos. I was nervous being out of town and away from my babies, but I called the vet, and Elisabeth took her up right away. She took care of the medications until I could get back home, and gave me updates. My vet's office also commented on how wonderful she was with my Kona. I would definitely recommend her, and am happy we found a great sitter! She is very caring with the animals!

Elisabeth was wonderful. She was prompt at the meet up. She was responsive to my messages. My dog Griffin was clearly cared for and loved. He bonded with her instantly. She stayed at my house and she left everything in perfect order.

We are so grateful to have found Elisabeth to cat sit for us. My husband and I have older, cranky cat with some health issues and medication needs. Our cat can be difficult and antisocial, but Elisabeth handled her wonderfully! Elisabeth was able to get to take her daily meds and even cleaned up some of her “accidents.” Our daily report cards and photos from Elisabeth kept my husband and i at ease while we were on vacation. When we got home, all Willow’s dishes were clean and properly stored away. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful, caring and responsible person to cat sit. We will definitely use Elisabeth again when we travel. I couldn’t recommend her more. Your pets will be in great hands with Elisabeth!!

Elisabeth has been great. She’s always timely with her drop-in visits and makes sure our Teddy is well taken care of. Highly recommended.

Information Elisabeth P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog's leash manners and personality around children and other dogs. Although we do not have any in the house, it is beneficial for me to know for any encounters we have during our adventures.

A typical day

I will tailor the activities for the dog I am watching. If the dog is energetic and loves to move, we will go for long walks or play in the park. If your dog is lower energy, we have lots of blankets and laps to snuggle up in.
