Pet care experience
I have had dogs since I was 10 , and I've always had a passion for them. When I was younger, I would read books about every type of dog I could get my hands on. I'll be good for your pets because I'm able to adjust to every individual need for your animals. I've watched dogs for friends and family for many years while they were on vacation. I have spent the last few years working in commercial pet care at various daycare and boarding facilities. This includes dogs, cats, birds and various small rodents. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make your dogs, and yourself as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to go on frequent walks of any duration or difficulty. I used to take one of my own dogs hiking so I'm willing and able to do whatever they are used to. I'm also happy to be at your home as frequently as you'd prefer, and I'd love to maintain open communication with you while you are away. I have also recently acquired a PACCC certification.
Reviews
Elizabeth is WONDERFUL! I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for our dogs. We have dogs full of fear. (rescued as puppies and abused, now 9 yrs old) Elizabeth understood completely how to handle the situation. It just takes lots of time for our dogs to warm up to anyone new. Everything went great! I could focus on business knowing our dogs were well cared for. In addition, Elizabeth picked up our mail everyday, pooped scooped, cleaned her guest bedroom and bath. She told me she always wanted to leave a job/home from a pet sitting job as nice or better than when she arrived. Well she did! 5 star job!!!
I was very anxious about leaving my cat with a pet sitter. Murphy is eight years old. Due to an immune disorder, all his teeth were removed except a few in front. He eats mostly wet food and requires meds every other day. Elizabeth was a godsend. She was very punctual. At each visit, she provided me with updates regarding his demeanor, how much he ate and the contents of his litterbox. She played with him every visit and gave him treats. She texted me pictures at each visit. After the first day, he was greeting her at the front door. I looked forward each day to her updates. Knowing he was being well taken care of put my mind at ease. I highly recommend Elizabeth. I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for Murphy again. Five stars - * * * * *
We were very satisfied with Elizabeth. She provided great communication, the dogs loved her, and were well taken care of.
We had Elizabeth drop by our house for a visit. The visit went really well, my dogs really like Elizabeth! She was on time, took them potty, and played with them. She kept me informed the whole time she was at my house! We will definitely will be using her in the future!
About Elizabeth L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always prefer to meet with pet parents so I can be aware of any potential safety problems in the home and when walking dogs I like to bring a secondary slip leash to use so that in case anything happens to the first leash/collar, your pet is unable to slip away from me.
Information Elizabeth L. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting I'd love to know what gender, breed, and special needs for your pet. I also need any relevant medical information, ie allergies, daily/monthly medication, or recent injuries.
A typical day
I love to take the dogs I watch on long walks and on trips to the pet store (as long as that’s something your dog is comfortable with. I’m also a big fan of enrichment with either a frozen Kong (if diet allowed) or puzzle toys.
