I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos—and we can even FaceTime if you’d like! If there’s anything else I can do to make your time away from your pets easier, just let me know.

Information Elizabeth "Libby" K. would like to know about your pet

I like to be informed about any food allergies, behavioral quirks, or challenges your pets might have—whether that’s under socialization, separation anxiety, reactivity, aggression around food, toys, or water, excessive barking, or anything else. Behavioral issues don’t mean your pet is “bad” at all! Just like people, every pet is unique and needs care tailored to them. I encourage honesty about your pet’s behaviors so I can provide the best, most comfortable care possible. I’m more than happy and prepared to care for pets who need a little extra attention—because every animal deserves exceptional love, patience, and understanding. After all, the best pets I know all have their own special quirks, just like humans do!

A typical day

I’m all about giving your pet the care they crave—whether that’s endless games of fetch, a good brush-out, or a serious cuddle fest. Whatever their vibe, I’m here to make sure they feel loved, comfy, and maybe even a little spoiled! I tune into their personality and mood so every visit feels just right, filled with joy and comfort.

Pet care experience

Seasoned dog owner offering full-time pet care you can trust. My passion for animals started early—even before spending summers volunteering at the Ames Animal Shelter as a young girl. Every opportunity to pet sit for family and friends had me thrilled to spend time with animals. I bring 4 years of professional grooming experience, beginning as a dog bather and later graduating from grooming school. I’ve also worked 1.5 years in veterinary medicine at a vet hospital, gaining hands-on experience in animal health and care. 🐶 Services I Offer: • Dog Walking • Doggy Daycare • Boarding • Pet Transportation ✓ Extended stays and special requests welcome ✓ LGBTQ+ friendly 🌈 With over 15 years of dog care experience, I’m confident and comfortable with pups of all sizes and temperaments. I’m experienced in administering oral medication and have cared for diabetic pets as well. In addition to dogs, I also care for cats, reptiles, fish, small animals, and exotics. I worked at a pet store for a year, caring for everything from ferrets and snakes to hamsters, chinchillas, bearded dragons, and tropical fish. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out! I look forward to connecting—and giving your pets my very best. 🫶

We love Libby! She is truly family to us. She is so caring, kind, and personable and my animals are always so content and happy in her presence. It is wild and so fun to see their faces completely light up whenever they see that they get to spend time with Libby!
