Highlights
Pet care experience
Calming energy, attentive dog care
I work well with independent minded dog breeds, brachycephalic breeds, and dogs with behavioral issues like extreme anxiety. I have experience in senior care, socialization, and muzzle training with my own dog. For the past few years, I have done in-home sitting for friends and neighbors. I have been around dogs in my family since a young age. In-home pet sitting services include a daily walk, feeding, outside potty breaks and play time. Additional add-on services are brushing, administration of oral medication, wrinkle cleaning, and teeth brushing if needed. There is an additional fee for 2 or more dogs. My schedule allows for me to spend much of the day with your dog, about 6 hours. At night I can spend about 4 hours (plus sleeping time) and usually more. Although I have looked after them in the past, currently I am unable to care for cats.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
While in-home sitting, I try to keep the dog's schedule as consistent with his daily life as possible. I also will take him for a daily walk or to the dog park if that is part of his regular schedule and the owner would like that. Other tasks included are feeding, water top off, outside potty breaks, and play time. Additional add-on services are brushing, administration of oral medication, wrinkle cleaning, and teeth brushing if needed. There is an additional fee for 2 or more dogs.

Elizabeth was amazing! She gave us daily updates and photos while we were overseas for the week. She did a great job of caring for our two dogs and our house so we will definitely use her again.
She was wonderful! Feels great to be at ease and comfortable knowing our babies were in great hands.
Good communication. Great photos. Would like her next time.
Elizabeth is great with Bella. She is very responsive and took amazing care of our senior dog. Love the pics and updates on Bella’s care.

- I have experience working with independent breeds (working, guardian, or herding breeds) as well as dogs with a bite history. If your dog is an experienced biter, I will be glad to sit for you! However, I need to have that information ahead of time, as well as warning of any triggers for adverse reactions. Bites are usually a sign of stress and anxiety, not aggression, and I can do a better job of putting your dog at ease if I know all the facts. Also, it is important for me to know if your dog is accident prone in the house, what preventative measures you take, and what is your clean-up procedure. Please tell me if your dog has a taste for chewing items that are not his and I will be sure to keep them out of the way. The same goes for certain human behaviors (for example, I have had dogs who do not like to hear singing - strange but true).
