Highlights
Pet care experience
Rest easy!Trusted care of pets,home
I have dog- & cat-sat and walked dogs for friends and family, off and on for decades. I respect and strive to maintain your training and behavioral standards. In my experience, dogs live to please us and get it right -- and get a reward. :-) I relish seeing sociable pooches' delight when I take them to the dog park to chase balls and play with new friends. I enjoy each and every walk through the neighborhood just to see who's out and wanting to say "hi!" (read: "woof!"). I know how important a routine can be, so I do my utmost to adhere to yours, so that pooch who misses you will have the least possible other disruptions to their sensibility. ;-)

Elizabeth also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When out and about, I routinely ask other dog-walkers for permission or an invitation before letting your pups introduce themselves. I am highly conscious of door and fence/gate hygiene, either at your home or at the dog park. And while at that dog park or on those walks, I strive to never mix leashed dogs with unleashed dogs, so as to minimize any power imbalances. At mealtime, I monitor a chubby pooch with a slow metabolism to make sure he doesn't partake of his slim & trim buddy's leftovers. I appreciate and adhere to the routines you've established for your pet. I like to build trust and reinforce cooperation & good behavior by asking dogs for a "shake" or "sit" or "down" before rewarding them with a treat.
Ratings and reviews
Second time we asked Elizabeth to babysit our cats and we couldn’t be more relaxed. She looks after our babies as her own, with my cats being picky about food and water, we couldn’t find a better person to trust.
Elizabeth was great to work with! She was very communicative and proactive and seemed to do great with our kitties! The house was left super clean and neat and we’re looking forward to working with her again in the future 🥰
Elizabeth was fantastic with our pup! Elizabeth took the time to make sure she understood our dogs needs and routines to make the whole experience the best she could. Elizabeth was super responsive and made sure we were kept informed on how our dog was doing. We will 100% use Elizabeth anytime we need to leave our dog.
Elizabeth was absolutely lovely! We had a wonderful meet and greet, Carly took to her immediately and she doesn't do that with everyone. Elizabeth checked in and sent photos. When I got home it was clear that she had taken wonderful care of my pup. I will absolutely have her again.
We had Elizabeth watch the pom pack again, this time for 7 nights. As always, Elizabeth did a great job, keeping them on a routine, walking them regularly and giving me updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Elizabeth for peace of mind while you are on vacation.
She did a great job with our pets!

Schedule
I'm a writer and editor working from home, so "Have laptop. Will travel." Show me your high-speed Internet and I'll show you a flexible and dedicated on-site sitter for your canine or feline cutie-pies. I'll walk your dogs, play with your cats, water your plants, put out your trash bins, bring in the mail, add chlorine to your hot tub, and move your car every 72 hours -- just tell me what you need in order to feel totally at ease while you're away!
