Reliable Animal Companion
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats and they were family members to us. I'm an early riser and I'm available according to your animal's needs. I respect their rituals, habits and idiosyncrasies.
Reviews
Thank you Liz, we appreciate you!
Our three cats love Liz. They are normally shy, but run to greet her at the door, and even the shyest asks for snuggles from her and another our takes meds from her every day. We feel we can totally relax when we are away.
Liz always does a great job with our large standard poodle. She’s thoughtful and very interactive with us about him during her sitting for him.
We love how thoughtful Liz is with our elderly kitty. She sends timely updates and photos during each visit. Thanks, Liz!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do cat sitting also! I love cats and have two of my own, BK and Uuch. I've also taken care of chickens, reptiles, fish, crows & squirrels. I've taken people to the hospital and kept hyper puppies calm for hours. I consider winning your animal's trust a victory. I will respect your home, clean up after myself and try to minimize the space I occupy while there. I like to communicate with the owners on a daily basis to let them know about their pet(s)' daily functions.
Information Elizabeth M. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences but would like to know their habits, and, most importantly, if they have any medical issues. I don't administer oral medication if it requires direct contact with their mouth, for safety reasons. However, I will add medicine to their food or other treat.
A typical day
I respect your animals habits and try to make a smooth transition into their daily routine habits. I take the dog(s) on a walk if they need to go relieve themselves and I'm responsible with their poop, always taking a bag with me and disposing it in a proper receptacle. I also will do additional services such as water plants and gardens, attend to the mail, and I can take care of other animals as well. I don't take dogs to dog parks. I find that dogs sometimes act and react differently with me (a relative stranger) than with their owners so I don't take the chance.
Services
Elizabeth can watch in your home
Availability
My usual schedule seems to be the following (with dogs): Wake at 6 or so, take them outside to relieve themselves; walk around 9:30; and, leave for my home from about noon until about 6pm. So they are alone for 6 hours during the day. I will always discuss any schedule changes with you before we commit to the stay. Also, if you need me for more visits or time than this, or if there are special needs, we can discuss those options.
