~Meticulous & Experienced Pet Care~
Pet care experience
I have been doing drop-in pet sitting since I was 10 years old, when I cared for a golden retriever 5 days a week for four years. I also worked at a Collie breeding facility for two years. I had two dogs of my own, one of whom had been with our family for 13 years, and most recently lived with four dogs on a farm. I also now own my own dog and have trained her and cared for her for two years. I have the ability to teach agility as well as basic obedience (sit, lay down, heel, roll over, etc). I am extremely active and love going on walks or runs with pets, but am happy to sit and offer belly rubs too! I am free to take care of your pet wherever and whenever you like, within reason. Unfortunately I cannot have pets at my house. Your dog's happiness and health is of the utmost importance. I am different from other sitters in that I possess extensive dog experience, patience, and an extreme love for animals. I am currently employed 9-5 so often cannot stay with your pet all day, but can let them out at lunchtime. I was also a receptionist and am a vet technician at a local vet clinic and can use my knowledge in the event of an emergency.
Reviews
My pups were happy and well taken care of with Elizabeth. She gave me updates each time she was there and communicated when they would be let out and fed. My dogs did well with her and were happy!
Elizabeth is absolutely fantastic. Excellent communicator and our dogs love her!
Elizabeth was great with Spencer. She was very prompt and kept me update on how he was doing with texts and pictures.
Absolutely fantastic. Communication was excellent and lots of great photos sent to us!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I used to be a vet tech so I am very knowledgeable about many different clinical signs of pain or distress as well as any maladies your dog could have.
Information Elizabeth K. would like to know about your pet
I need to know how trained a dog is, whether or not they are leash trained, and their history with people from outside the home. I have no breed preferences. If I accept a dog into my own home, they need to get along with my 4 year old Collie Mix Cassie.
A typical day
I am happy to take your dog to parks for walks, play in the yard, teach them various tricks, practice obedience, run with them, and more. I love providing photos and videos illustrating our time together, and am also happy to provide updates over phone and text to the owners preference.

I fit it in around work and having my own dog. I typically spend a moderate amount of time with your pet, with the ability to conduct one midday check around lunch time if needed.
