Pet care experience
fluffy friends are the best friends
Hello! My name is Elizabeth, and I love dogs & cats: I've been pet sitting for family and friends for many years and have been on the Rover app since 2016. I have a tendency to become best friends with my temporary 4-legged fuzzy roommates! Currently, there's a bit of work happening in and nearby outside of my apartment & building - so for now, I'm focused on caring for your pets in the familiarity (and quietness!) of their own home. Below is my profile as I've had it for hosting dogs in my home: **** Hello! My name is Elizabeth, and I live in a 575 sq. ft, one-bedroom apartment with no 2- or 4-legged roommates. I work remotely, so I can keep an eye on your pup each day. If your dog is "lively" and maybe even pulls a bit on the leash, I'll gladly taken them on long daily walks around town to expend that energy and explore. Or if your dog is smaller, older, or otherwise on the exercise-adverse side, I'll gladly let them lounge on the couch all day instead and help me get to the last page of the internet. I can't wait to meet some new fluffy friends! xoxo
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience keeping multiple animals on track with several concurrent pill/drops/injection schedules. I also have experience caring for pets post-surgery and keeping an eye on them to make sure they're not trying to wiggle out of their cone or using sore knees to jump on and off furniture, etc. You can be assured that your pet's eating regimens will be closely followed. I am super strict with food - I flat out never share my human food with my four-legged guests except for in a couple of cases where dogs weren't wanting their pills, so I used some natural 2-ingredient peanut butter to … “encourage” them 😁 My building has locked gates at each entrance and in 10 years of living here and taking care of dogs, I can count on one hand the number of escapes from my front door and as for escapes from the building: a grand total of zero. I’m very, very aware of who may be at my feet when the door is opened...especially with cats!! Lastly and most importantly: any time that an animal has begun acting oddly I have alerted the owners straight away. Typically it’s just been a case of anxiety that dies down after some time with me, and in one case I just needed to pick up a renewed prescription at the local vet. I am committed to do whatever it takes to ensure my fluffy friends are all good!
Ratings and reviews
Couldn’t say enough positive things about our experience booking Elizabeth. She stayed with our dog for a week and we came home to a calm, regulated pup (no small thing given our high energy, routine-oriented girl!) and a super tidy house. We’re SO appreciative and only hope the stars align and we can snag her the next time we’re away! Thank you so much!
She was great with my cat Bodhi. Gave her lots of love and attention. Very professional and considerate. Would recommend.
Elizabeth is an excellent dog sitter and took amazing care of our dogs and our home. We have booked with her multiple times, and she is truly the only person on rover that we 100% trust!
Elizabeth is an absolute superstar. The doggies love her…and we do too!!
elizabeth took care of our dog, scrabble, for a long weekend and did the best job!!! scrabble is not the easiest dog. he is on immunotherapy and a lot of pills for nerve damage and arthritis, and also requires daily heat and cold rehab. plus, he can occasionally be reactive with other dogs. elizabeth did a fantastic job handling all of these extra responsibilities and duties! she took frequent pictures and was easy to get a hold of if we wanted updates. we are planning on hiring elizabeth again in the future whenever we go out of town! thank you, elizabeth!
Elizabeth is the best! I fully trust her with my cat while I’m out of town and my girl Lola was happy and healthy when I got home :) she goes above and beyond and I really appreciate that!

Schedule
I go out of my way as much as is humanly possible to ensure my errands/appointments/outings don't last longer than 4 hours while caring for your pet. Most days I probably won't need to leave your furry family member alone at all! **Have a puppy? Special needs pet?** I certainly understand that some animals need particularly close supervision and/or otherwise up to 4 hours is much too long for them to be left alone. If that's the case with yours, just let me know from the very beginning. Occasionally, there will be some weeks/weekends I can't accommodate that. But don't be afraid to ask - often, I absolutely am able to accommodate my schedule to fit. In such cases, I charge $250/night for what I call "constant care rate", which is for: a.) _ANY_ dog under 2 years old and/or b) pets that cannot be left alone for more than 2 hours/day
