Highlights
Pet care experience
Love and care for your animals!!
Right now, I have 2 pets in my life. My parent's dog Ada, a 6 year old mutt who loves to cuddle, and my cat, Morgana, a 4 year old tuxedo who loves to play! I grew up with dogs and I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with cancer and other illnesses, and helped a dog through a seizure. I also have volunteered at an animal shelter (Homeward Pets) and spent time with dogs of many different ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. During this time I fed the dogs, cleaned their kennels, bathed them, and played with them. I have also lived with two cats of very different personalities so I also have experience feeding & playing with cats of different ages and temperaments.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I think it’s important to keep things as much the same as possible for your pets in order to decrease stress so I will always follow any house rules. If that means no dogs on the couch, then no dogs on the couch. Or not feeding them human food, I’ll make sure they only get their food no matter how cute they’re looking! I will also make sure I spend no less than 2 hours at an owner’s home playing with your animals where all my attention is on them. I do know pet-related first aid and dog CPR although I’ve luckily never had to use it. I will make sure to give regular updates to the owner and contact them in the case of any emergencies. I want to create a loving and safe environment for your pets so in trusting me with your pets, I can promise that they will be loved and cared for!
Ratings and reviews
Elizabeth is a fantastic pet/house sitter I'll definitely be using again. I have two small dogs, one with epilepsy, so she needs medications at specific times of the day, and she can be a jerk about taking them. Elizabeth had no issues administering the meds, played with our babies, took great care of our house, and is just a delightful human being.
Elizabeth was Gideon’s new best friend from the moment they met. Gideon is always so excited to see Liz every time they come over and Liz is great at adapting to the needs of a high-energy 1.5 year old lab while being responsible and helping train out unwanted behaviours.
Liz has always lived with a dog. She's had three in her lifetime. She understands all that goes in to caring for dogs. She also attended her previous dog's passing when it became clear cancer had the upper hand in our precious Golden Retriever. In addition, Liz created a website where she highlights dogs in history through art. So clearly, her adoration of canines is well-grounded.

I recently graduated from the University of Washington with my Master's in Museum Studies. As I'm trying to get a job, I'm looking for ways to increase my part-time income.
