Information Elisabeth S. would like to know about your pet

I am mainly interested in your dog’s behavior towards other dogs. The condominium has many dog residents and there is always a possibility of meeting one or two on our way in or out of the building.

A typical day

A good morning walk to start the day then comes breakfast and play. With a large apartment there is ample space to run around. After the morning nap, another walk, another nap, dinner and a late evening walk to prepare for a good night.

Pet care experience

New to this site, but I’ve been caring for pets for 40+ years. My family has had multiple dogs over the years of all sizes and type and I routinely care for animals in my apartment building. I prefer to care for one dog at a time but if they are siblings and well behaved, I can manage 2. Senior dogs are welcomed.

I have a great feeling of peace, knowing that my Marcel is being cared for by Elisabeth. She is attentive, loving and gives great care to our dog Marcel. Marcel was right at home with Elisabeth and did not want to leave. It’s important to me that Marcel not be stressed or anxious and she provides that type of calm atmosphere needed. I needed a later time to pick him up and Elizabeth accommodated me and told me not to rush or worry. Marcel was very happy with his long walks! I want to keep her all to myself. She is truly a wonderful person and can be trusted with the care of your special pet.

Our dog had a great two night stay with Elisabeth. He settled right in when I dropped him off and was allowed throughout her home. Elisabeth was eager to accommodate any of his preferences for eating, sleeping, and relaxing.
