Highlights
Pet care experience
Conscientious athletic dog lover
A lifetime of caring for dogs, including most recently my own three golden retrievers each of whom lived into their teen years. I have had a three legged dog and a dog with vision loss. I have trained for and been a volunteer dog trainer/walker with Oakville animal shelter, and I have gone through many rounds of puppy training, obedience training and reactive dog training courses offered through SPCA and other private trainers.

Ratings and reviews
Elizabeth took amazing care of Gus. She sent us so many photos and updates which was greatly appreciated.
Manso had another great walk with Elizabeth - she is a pleasure to work with!
Elizabeth has been so great with my dog Manso. Manso is timid and takes time to warm up to new people, Elizabeth has been so patient and kind with him. Manso and I look forward to more walks with Elizabeth!
From the moment Elizabeth arrived, my dog was immediately calm and accepting of her, which is rarely the case! I knew she would take great care of him, and it was true! Elizabeth so quickly gained his trust within their first day together, which was a huge relief for me. She even got him to cuddle her and go for walks! He rarely does this for anyone but me. Elizabeth was so attentive to his needs, and communicative to me. We are so grateful for her!!
Elizabeth was great! Laila was well taken care of. My house was well taken care of. And communication was consistent and reassuring. Overall best experience I have had on this site!!!
Elizabeth is a gem! We had her sit out two dogs while we were out for the evening on a trip to Toronto. Simply said, she was amazing! She took the dogs on several walks, kept our dog with separation anxiety calm and sent us regular photos and updates throughout the evening. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again! Thank you Elizabeth!

Schedule
My current schedule is flexible. I am able to accommodate and prioritize the needs of the dogs. It is pure pleasure for me to spend time with dogs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will adhere to the client's wishes/directions. I love walking, playing with and meeting the needs of the dogs, as though they were my own.
A typical day
I cater to the individual dog's temperament, physical abilities, preferences, and as guided by the client. Going for walks in parks or on trails if possible, playing with toys or retrieving balls, and stroking/cuddling and otherwise engaging with them to the extent they want/need.

- Please let me know of any special needs or limitations in terms of activity and food, as well as any particular training/command routine to ensure continuity. I am inclined to go for long, brisk walks if that suits the individual dog, but will tailor exercise to the particular pet. Please let me know of any behavioral quirks I can accommodate to ensure positive experiences.
