Pet care experience
I’ve always loved all animals, and while I loved the cats we had growing up, every year for Christmas the only thing I asked for was a dog. And I was always told no. So, as early as 10 years old I started putting up posters in my neighborhood to start dog walking. I did walks, dog sitting, begged neighbors to let me come over just to play fetch with their dog, made yearly powerpoint presentations showcasing why I deserved to get a dog (which was always rejected), you name it. At 19 the wait was over and I got my first dog, Kodiak. And the wait was worth it. It taught me patience, understanding, overall training her was a labor of love but so worth it in the end. It taught me effective methods for safe walking practices, how to instill basic principles of discipline, and how to better understand body language on their part for their needs.
Reviews
As a past coworker of Liz, I can honestly say that few people can match her devotion to her job. She is definitely one of the most hard working and friendly people I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
As an employee of mine Elizabeth was always one of my best. On time/professional and every day giving me her absolute best! I would absolutely rehire her without question
About Elizabeth C.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have an acre of property my dog roams on, if another dog were brought on I would keep them leashed during outdoor time as the front of the property is not fenced. We have multiple open areas inside that can allow for safe indoor play and can kennel your pup if you require it. If I am caring for a pet in the client’s home, I carry my own leash and treat supplies (generic or grain-free per preference) to ensure my and your dog’s safety. I have experience clicker training and carry one if the client has utilized it as a training tool in the past.
Information Elizabeth C. would like to know about your pet
Would like to know if your pet has any special needs or triggers ahead of time. This includes if they are reactive to other dogs, humans, or other animals such as squirrels and cats beyond the normal levels of curiosity.
A typical day
Aside from typical walks to get them outside and stimulated, I carry toys and foraging puzzles to help keep pets engaged. If your dog is up for it I try to go jogging on occasion and can try to help tire them out more with a run! If it comes down to it, nothing beats a simple tennis ball or fetching stick!
