Highlights
Pet care experience
Owner away? I walk, sit and stay.
I am an experienced pet sitter with a passion for animals. I have a great deal of experience with pets of all ages and sizes, and I'm comfortable providing care for both cats and dogs. I'm also knowledgeable about pet nutrition and can provide any special dietary needs. In addition, I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR in case of emergency. I'm also very comfortable with providing medication, and I understand the importance of timing and dosage. I'm also experienced in providing senior care, and can provide a gentle, loving environment for aging pets.

Elizabeth G. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Elizabeth was great with our pups and the house! She communicated with us throughout her stay and we were able to enjoy our travels without worrying about anything
I was taking a 4 night; 3 day out-of-state trip and needed to find a trustworthy person to care for my two small dogs, Wagley and Joe, while I was away. I had not used Rover before and chose Elizabeth from the website because she had good reviews and worked in the area and could easily drop by to care for my pets. We initially texted and set up a time a couple of weeks in advance for her to come by my home to meet me and my pets prior to the trip. I had a good first impression of Elizabeth and immediately felt comfortable with her. She had a great personality was very personable. I informed her that I would be away beginning Wed. evening Feb 21st and would be back Sunday evening Feb. 25th then informed her of the schedule I wished for her to keep while I was away which was as follows: Wed. evening Feb. 21st- drop by between 7-8pm to give the dogs their bedtime snack. (I had informed her that there was no need to stay an extended period of time on this evening since I would have been with them the entire day while working from home.) According to the security camera's she did as requested arriving at 7:50pm and departing at 8:22pm. Thursday, Feb. 22 AM-drop by to feed and water the pets (no extended time with them required). According to the security cameras she did as requested arriving at 7:26am and departing at 7:38am. Thursday, Feb 22 PM -drop by around 5-5:30pm to feed and water the pets and stay until 8-8:30 pm to give them their bedtime snack then leave. According to the security camera's she arrived at 5:33pm and departed at 7:24pm. She DIDN'T stay as long as I expected but I was satisfied with the visit. She texted me pictures of the pets which was appreciated! Friday 2/23 AM- drop by to feed and water the pets (no extended time with them required). According to the security cameras she did as requested arriving at 7:15 AM and departing at 7:20AM. She texted me on this morning and provided me information about one of my pets. Friday 2/23 PM- drop by around 5-5:30pm to feed and water the pets and stay until 8-8:30 pm to give them their bedtime snack then leave. According to the security camera's she arrived at 6:28PM and departed at 6:49pm, MEANING THE EVENING VISIT WAS ONLY 21 minutes. She sent me a picture of Wagley which was appreciated but I WAS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE FRIDAY EVENING VISIT. Saturday, 2/24 AM- drop by to feed and water the pets (no extended time with them required). According to the security cameras she arrived at 10:46AM and departed at 10:54AM a bit late in the morning HOWEVER she called and informed me prior to the visit that she had obligations in another city and asked if this would be ok and I agreed. Saturday, 2/24 PM-drop by around 5-5:30pm to feed and water the pets and stay until 8-8:30 pm to give them their bedtime snack then leave. According to the security camera's she arrived at 7:04PM and departed at 8:37PM. She arrived a little later than I would have liked but again, she had informed me that might be the case because of the out-of-town trip she was taking. She brought her daughters with her that evening but also had asked prior if that would be ok and I agreed. Sunday 2/25 AM-drop by to feed and water the pets (no extended time with them required). According to security camera's she did as requested arriving at 9:12 AM and departing at 9:14 AM. Sunday 2/25 PM-NO SERVICES REQUIRED (I returned home.) For the price I paid for the entire service, I would have expected and preferred that the evening visits be longer (especially the Friday night visit which again, was only 20 mins) but overall, I was satisfied with the service Elizabeth provided. I think she is trustworthy, communicative and for the most part, reliable and I would recommend her to pet set for others. Thank-you Elizabeth!
Pups seemed healthy and happy when I picked them up.
Perfect! She took wonderful care of our dog, and she was very responsive and kind.
Elizabeth was great for watching our two dogs for about a week. Easy to communicate with, flexible, and the dogs were well taken care of. She sent us pictures and videos of the dogs as well. We will definitely use her again

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I take great care in looking after pets in my home or a client's home. My priority is the safety and comfort of the pet. I make sure to keep the house clean and comfortable for the pet, and I take the time to get to know the pet and their individual needs. I provide regular meals and snacks, and make sure that the pet has plenty of fresh water. I take the pet for regular walks and playtime, and ensure that all of their physical and mental needs are met. I also provide plenty of affection and attention, and ensure that the pet is happy and well looked after.
