About Elizabeth K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home is chaotic, no doubt, with my seven beloved pets. Still, all have years of experience at being foster siblings and temporary hosts for dozens (possibly hundreds at this point) of foster pets and boarding clients over the years. I like to allow my pets as much freedom as possible as long as they both feel and are safe. Messes happen and it’s no big deal! I raise my own animals as well as care for others’ with patience, understanding, and genuine joy.

Information Elizabeth K. would like to know about your pet
As someone with seven pets herself, all of whom but one came from abusive, traumatic pasts— I understand fully the quirks and various needs of each animal. Nothing is too small or too big for me to accommodate. My dogs all have preferred eating spots, Milkbone flavors, and areas they enjoy being petted most. I love to learn what is going to best ensure pets have a good time and feel safe when their person is away.
A typical day
I am all about making animals feel loved and creating safe spaces for them to live, play, grow, and thrive in. As long as they are not in any kind of danger, I am more than happy to do what they want!

Pet care experience
Hello! I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home that always had a myriad of animals. Taking in and caring for strays was something my parents encouraged. As an adult, I adopted my five dogs (including bringing three home with me from Morocco after I finished my Peace Corps service) and three cats. I was also a foster parent with Underdog Pet Rescue for years where I had the privilege of caring for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and setting them up for a happy life with their adopters. In addition to dogs and cats, I have pet-sat for families with chickens, pot-bellied pigs, and various reptiles and amphibians. I am happy to care for any creature (only thing I am unable to do is snakes that require live feedings). I own my house and have a large, fenced-in backyard. I work from home and create my own schedule so I am easily able to accommodate most drop-in times as well as give your loved one plenty of attention and love if they’re boarding with me. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thank you! Lizzie (+ Bogey, Runty, Dolly, Tipsy, Nikki, Pabel, and Pushkin)
Reviews
Elizabeth did a great job taking care of our cats. They seemed very happy under her care and we got some very cute pictures !
Lizzie was a great in-home option for us while we were away for a few nights. I wasn’t concerned about our dogs while we were away and appreciated coming home to happy dogs! Thanks, Lizzie!
Lizzie was the best! She shared regular updates, left my home super clean and made me feel at ease knowing my pup was in good hands! Remi seemed to have the best time with her and we’ll definitely book again!
I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Elizabeth. She was so diligent about following Gus's routine, so great about keeping us updated on how things were going, and above all SO kind and understanding of our pups needs as a spicy/reactive dog. She left me completely at ease and able to relax on our trip. I am so glad we've found her and that our baby has someone he will not just be comfortable with, but excited to spend time with while we are gone!
