Availability

I prefer to have advance notice on walks and stuff but I understand that things can come up. With that said any last minute walk requests will have a $15 surcharge. I am able to walk pups between the hours of 8am and 5pm. I also only work the Roger's Park/ West Ridge Area.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not offer boarding. As for sitting, I follow whatever rules you have set for your home. I don't want to give your dog mixed signals so I would prefer to do things the same way you do.

Information Elizabeth J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog had any triggers, like loud noises or anything else that could upset them. What is the most comfortable way for your dog to get to know me?

A typical day

When walking dogs I will always be in an area that is familiar to them. I love taking them to parks as well! And each pet will have their own time with me. They will never be walked with someone else's pets. I am willing to walk dogs in the West Ridge/ Rogers Park area of Chicago.

Pet care experience

You can call me Liz! Growing up I don't think there was a time where there wasn't an animal in the house. I've had all sorts of pets; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, you name it! I've been walking and pet sitting for about 7 years or so whether it be family members' pets or neighbors that I've gotten to know. I always treat others pets as if they were my own. I love to play and snuggle and even spoil them with a treat (if permitted) just to let them know that even though their parents are away, they're safe and sound with me. I have handled pets both big and small. I love all breeds of dog also (Pit bulls have a special place in my heart) so all pets are welcome! I do this full time so all of my attention will go to your pup. I have several pups I work with but I never have dogs from different houses together. Each dog gets their own time. As of right now I can only provide sittings in your home. Whatever rules you set, I will follow. And if I have any questions I will make sure to ask you.

Had good vibes with Liz from the start when my shy golden retriever took to her immediately. Liz has great communication, was very thorough, and kept me updated on how my kiddos were doing while I was away. Highly recommend and will book again!

When I returned home after 9 days, my usually high strung dogs were calm and happy. Liz was a great communicator, took great care of my home and pets, and most importantly made my dogs feel so comfortable with her. Wonderful peace of mind.

Elizabeth was great with Tigger. She worked with him to calm his reactivity triggers and he’s learned how to regulate his impulses.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
