Dog's best friend.

Pet care experience

I've wanted to infuse my life with all things dog since my lab Sara walked up to me in the street 11 years ago. My husband Jon and I live a few blocks from Lady Bird Lake in a small but comfortable house in East Austin. We have a huge, fenced-in yard but our dogs get their daily exercise on the trail. I'm a graduate student so a good portion of my time is spent at home. When I'm not here, Jon works so close that he comes home to check on our "kids." We regularly take care of our family and friends' dogs when they go out of town and love dogs of all sizes. We will send you tons of pictures and videos while you're away. We know the peace of mind that comes with the certainty that your dog, your family, is being loved and cared for.

Liz was great! I have a high-anxiety dog, and she was very patient, and my pup ended up feeling right at home. Thanks!

This is my second time with Elizabeth and her husband, and both times were awesome. My dog comes home healthy, happy and ready for more fun. Can't recommend them enough....

Liz and her husband were absolutely wonderful! We were out of the country for two weeks and Liz sent us pictures regularly and was always keeping us in the loop. She genuinely loves and cares about animals so I knew summer was in great hands! I would highly recommmend her and cannot wait for Summer to stay with them again :)

Information Elizabeth K. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog a little anxious? That's great! I have tons of experience making nervous dogs feel more at home. If your dog is so anxious that he or she tends to release that energy destructively, that's fine too as long as he or she is crate trained. I have an anxious guy that needs his crate when he's home on his own. If you are working on positive reinforcement training, I'll be happy to follow any rules you are trying to enforce in your home. Years ago I was a dog trainer, so I know the drill.

A typical day

We are an active bunch and we give our dogs and dogs we are watching lots of love and cuddles. Dogs I'm sitting for will enjoy daily walks and lots of play time. If you have a swimmer, like we do, we will take them to Red Bud for a dip if that's ok with you! I love getting frequent pictures and videos of my dogs when I leave them so naturally I'll do that for you. The majority of the dog sitting I do is in my home. But I'm willing to travel to your house too! My schedule does not allow me to sleep over at your house at this time, but if you have independent dogs I'll be happy to come by and spend loads of time with them a few times a day.
