Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I have worked with and owned dogs my whole life. I volunteered with a service dog organization and helped raise the puppies and train the dogs to become service dogs. I have taken 5 dog training and behavior classes with my wondeful, gentle dog, along with private training lessons for service dogs. Whether your dog just needs a walk, needs some help learning to walk politely, needs boarding, play time, or overnight care, I'd love to help out! I currently have a remote job that is very flexible when I do my tasks. This leaves room for me to board, train, and walk dogs every day, most times during the day in line with with your pets’ needs as they need it. I can definitely work with your schedule since mine is so flexible :) I go on daily walks that your dog would accompany me on if you’d like! I am flexible in length of walks and would adapt to how much exercise your dog needs. I have a wonderful golden retriever named Beasley so if you need your dog boarded overnight at my house, he will be there too. Beasley is extremely gentle with people and dogs and has had tons of socialization with all sorts of dogs. I have a dog crate that could be used if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them to be crated overnight (totally not required though!)
Reviews
Elizabeth K. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Elizabeth was great with my golden pup Archie- who can be a hectic pup at times! She’s very communicative and considerate and will totally use her again!
Elizabeth came on very short notice when I was sick and unable to take my dog for his long afternoon walk. Thank you!
She was wonderful with my dog!

Information Elizabeth K. would like to know about your pet
Important for me to know is how a dog does with strangers. Because I, of course, will be a stranger to them at first. For dog walking, I like to know what a dog's behavior is normally like during walks. Do they bark at other dogs/people? Chase every squirrel? Walk very slow? Any info helps! For boarding and doggy day care, my biggest question is about cues to know when the dog needs to go outside. If your dog has a tell-tale sign, I'd love to know! Otherwise, we'll just stick to a schedule :)
A typical day
There is a lovely (and not too busy) dog park a quick walk away from my home. So if your dog was staying at my house and wanted to run... it's a super easy trip! I also have a few long leads (50 ft. leashes) if you prefer a non dog park exercise option and/or are nervous about off leash play.
