Pet care experience
Hello! Thank you for considering me to care for you dog while you are away. I am a young professional living in Washington DC that would love to get my dog-fix walking or watching your pup! I absolutely love dogs. I have had dogs of all sizing growing up, from Boxers to Papillions, and fostered a variety of breeds of puppies during college. My dog, Coco, (pictured) is a Silky Terrier. Sadly, Coco is not a city-dog and lives with her grandmother in Arizona. Dogs staying with me will enjoy a longer walk or run each day in addition to at least four potty breaks. I am an active runner and particularly enjoy Meridian Hill Park and Rock Creek’s many trails. I live in an apartment, but it is on the first floor and right next to a large courtyard and park that makes it a great spot to host dogs. At night, you will find me relaxing reading or watching TV and I love to have dogs with me on the sofa. I have been watching friends’ and co-worker’s dogs at my apartment for the last year. I have also house sat for a Great Dane for the last year. I prefer to host dogs who are crate trained; however, I will still host dogs who are not crate trained but house broke. Friday-Sunday, I am also available to house sit if you would prefer me to come to your home. I am very responsible, neat and clean and will provide the same long walk/run and multiple potty breaks that would I hosted at my own home. I will also follow all of your instructions and preference to a tee. After work and during the weekends I would be happy to take your dog for a walk or check in on them at your home. To provide you with a little background about me, I have lived in Washington DC for two year. I graduated from Clemson University (Go Tigers!) in 2016. I grew up in a military family so have gotten to live all around the United States. In my spare time, I enjoy running, cooking, watching TV and spending time with my friends. I look forward to someday soon having my own dog in DC, but in the meantime, I love spending time with the dogs I get to take care of. If it sounds like I would be a good fit to care for you dog, please let me know so we may set up a meet and greet to discuss details. Additionally, if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
I can't speak highly enough of Elizabeth. She was great with our 9-year-old Shih Tzu Bailey. It has been a struggle to find a dog sitter who will suffice because of 2 reasons. Bailey is not comfortable around people outside the family, and second Bailey is a picky eater who has to be hand fed. Upon meeting Elizabeth, she informed us that she also has/grew up with small sassy dogs who also were picky eaters. This was great to hear because we knew she would understand what kind of care Bailey would need. What really surprised us was how quickly Bailey warmed up to Elizabeth. Bailey will growl at most people, but not Elizabeth. Within the first 3-5 minutes of meeting Elizabeth Bailey was asking for tummy rubs. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE OR SENSE!! Elizabeth is now our go-to sitter, and she has done a great job with Bailey.
Elizabeth is a responsible and kind dog lover. She takes excellent care of my four small dogs. She sends daily pictures and updates on their well-being. I really enjoyed seeing photos of the dog walks! Elizabeth has excellent communication skills. I returned to a clean home with clean, happy, and healthy dogs. She is a true lover of dogs! I feel reassured having her stay in my home with my pets while I’m away for work or vacation.
Elizabeth is the perfect person to have watch your dog! She is responsible, patient, flexible, and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for their dog to be in good hands while they are away...She will send multiple picture updates, answer any questions and/or concerns you may have, make sure your dog(s) has enough exercise, and give your dog(s) plenty of attention!
Elizabeth is an exceptional person. She is hard working, caring, and very responsible. Elizabeth grew up with dogs, and she always loved and took wonderful care of her own pets. Dog owners can trust Elizabeth completely with the care of their pets! Contact Elizabeth for pet car, and you will know your pets are in good and caring hands!
