Certified dog trainer, animal lover
Pet care experience
I have grown up with at least one dog my entire life. I am a certified dog trainer as well. I work with various types of personalities and behaviors. My focus is basic obedience and behavioral issues. I have incredible patience when it comes to animals. Dogs are the key to my heart especially the misunderstood breeds. As you can see from my profile picture, bully breeds are my personal favorite. Dogs large and small will receive the love, care and attention they deserve. I also foster cats and kittens,so I have experience with them as well. I have personally owned dogs, rabbits,parakeets and pet rats. My animals are spoiled but also well behaved (most of the time). I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement training. My pets are my children who I love dearly. I also work weekend option at a local hospital. I will care for you pet like one of my own, I bond with them quickly. Only downside, I will most likely remember their name before yours!

Elizabeth G. is more than qualified to watch your little fur-baby or babies! Not only is she a loving parent to 4 full-grown pitbulls, one of which is deaf as a post, she also fosters pregnant kitties and provides care for them throughout the pregnancy, delivery, and after. On top of that, she is a certified dog trainer! So, chances are you will return to a dog that has picked up a few good habits! Unfortunately, you can't train a cat, that's scientific fact. All you can really hope for with a cat is to wake up still breathing or make it up/down the stairs without "falling". But regardless of which breed you have for her to watch, she'll take care of your furry kiddos!
Beth is great with all animals along with having a little zoo at her house! She’s got dogs and foster cats. When I got our puppy she came over to help me train him. While I was at work during the day she would come to my house and let him out and feed him lunch and also work on training with him. She is also a dog trainer and has helped many others with their dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing to pet sit or walk their dog when they are unable to.
She is very trustworthy & caring. Definitely recommend her! My dogs adore her. One of my dogs is a very shy rescue. Being a certified dog trainer, she knows how to make him feel at ease and safe in an unfamiliar enviroment. I couldn't trust her more with my babies!
Beth has been helping me train my dog now for a few months. She has great patience with dogs and has four of her own. She is a true animal lover with amazing compassion to each one. Definitely a pet lover 😍

Safety, trust & environment
I am a solid believer in always having a pet leashed if they are not in a fenced area. I do not leave dogs unattended in any situation. If they are running in the fenced backyard, I will be there to enjoy their company. I will not take a dog to a dog park, safety of your pet is my priority, dog parks can be unpredictable. Only treats/food approved by owner will be given. I will listen to your dog, I will not give unwanted attention. Some dogs might be fearful of strangers, my goal is to keep your pet happy and safe. I tend to win the hearts of animals through treats. If you have a fearful dog I will need to know allergies and approved treats.
Information Elizabeth G. would like to know about your pet
Before I arrive I would need to know allergies, your preferences on activities, any health or behavioral issues, favorite toys and games. Also any restrictions on food or activities. I would like to know what training they have as well.
A typical day
I will play and entertain your pet while I am there. I would need to know their favorite toys and games. For the young active dogs, I love using a teaser pole, it wears them out quickly and most love the chase. Walks I would prefer to keep close, I don't want to stress the pet with new person and place.

Availability
As I said I work weekend option at a local hospital, I am also an in-home dog trainer. This the reason I choose drop-in option. I may only be there a short time but your pet will be well taken care of and happy to see me!
