Highlights
Pet care experience
Leave it to Liz Pet Care
I started working for a local vet prior to finishing high school. My career led me away for pet care full time for a while, but I continued to board and pet sit during that time. For the last year and a half I have gotten back to my passion of caring for pets full time. I am now well on my way to opening a pet care facility that will have a home-like atmosphere that aims at keeping pets balanced. I am, also, currently 3 tests away from achieving my formal dog trainer certification as well. With this being my full time passion it is not about fitting pet care into my daily routine. My routine is your pets care. Throughout the day we offer free time, meal times, training periods, engaged play for additional mental stimulation, and rest periods. Rest periods are crucial to having a balanced dog that is not going to need constant engagement when not at daycare. We have 2 friendly old pups in our home as well as a cat to help your pet adjust to routine. We have ample beds and a thunder room (for some of the more nervous pups). For boarding, a crate is set up for any pet that stays, and we ask that you bring a large blank from home. Having a blanket from home draped over a crate creates a den that smells like home which can bring comfort while they are adjusting to being here even for dogs who are not normally crated, the crates are left open so they have free access to go in and come out. We have a small fenced area, and we also work with all the dogs on recall while they're here with a goal to EVENTUALLY achieve off-leash play on our 3 acres.

Ratings and reviews
Elizabeth is great! She is super caring with our needy dachshund. She is also kind enough to keep him separate from the bigger dogs. We’ve sent our Alex to her for a couple of family vacations, and for sure we will again! Thank you!
Eliz knows how to manage dogs. Drop off and pick up were perfect and professional. She is prompt to respond to messages and provided detailed updates quickly when requested.
My dog can be anxious around new dogs but Liz's knowledge and experience with introducing dogs really put me at ease. She has a setup to separate if needed, but my dog was comfortable enough to join the pack after the first day! Liz is very professional and I will definitely be using her services again.
Grace only stayed for one day, but I’m pretty sure she had a great time. Elizabeth seems very caring and responsible with her daycare and boarding. We will definitely use her again.
Ted had a great time hanging out with Elizabeth and her family for the weekend! I would leave him with her again in a heartbeat!
Thank you for taking such good care of Jax!

A typical day
Our goal is to provide balance between play and rest for your dogs. A dog that has constant stimulation at daycare will need constant stimulation at home which is not realistic for day to day life. During drop off times {7:30-9:30) is free time for the dogs. They go out to go potty, investigate each other and the space, and entertain themselves with each other and toys. Once drop offs are complete, we will spend an hour on engaging play, including tug, fetch, hide and seek, and getting down with the dogs. After that we have a 30-60 minute rest period. As they become active again we will get a potty break, and do free time while also doing meal time for any pups that need mid-day meals. This takes no more than 30 minutes. After which we engage is more mental enrichment, this can include training, puzzle treat dispensers, snuffle mats, and interactive toys such as beehive toys (toys that have toys inside them to extract). Most pups need more rest after training and mental stimulation, so we will have another rest period. As everyone gets active again we have a potty break and move to engaged play again. From there it is free time as dogs will start getting picked up and want to rest again. Depending on weather, we could spend an entire day outside in the sun, or inside avoiding rain and snow with additional potty breaks based on needs. Potty breaks are offered usually every 1.5-2 hours, but more frequently for puppies and seniors.
