Highlights
Pet care experience
Howdy Animal Lovers!!!
Welcome!! My story: I am a board certified behavior analyst with a masters in Behavior Analysis and a a doctoral candidate. I began working as a behaviorist and supervisor for behavioral health in 2016.. My undergraduate journey included working as a dog behaviorist to learn the principles of behavior/train furry friends using positive reinforcement. I focus on the individual temperament of each furry family member and read their body cues to ensure they always have their individual needs met, feel loved, protected, secure and at home in my care. With 25 years of hands-on experience, I've had the joy of caring for pets of all kinds. My upbringing in a family that bred cocker spaniels and a childhood spent on a farm shaped my deep appreciation for animals and my ability to connect with wildlife. 🌿 By trade, I work as a behavior analyst. I understand animal behavior and body language, which helps me recognize stress cues, respect boundaries, and adapt my care style—whether your pet is shy, energetic, a senior, or needs some extra patience. 🏡 Why pets love staying with me: Your pet deserves the very best while you're away. When your pet stays in my home, they become an extended part of our family. I adapt to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, understood, and truly at home. Whether your companion loves quiet cuddles, playful games, or basking in the sun, my care is tailored to meet their needs. I prioritize enrichment, comfort, and the freedom to stay indoors and/or roam a large backyard, as your pet prefers. Every stay includes daily walks on the scenic greenbelt path for fresh air and exploration. I offer pickup and drop-off for boarding at an additional fee. Fully fenced-in yard for safe playtime. Backyard access to a local greenbelt and walking trail. Daily nature walks in the fresh air, surrounded by trees. A nearby fishing lake—perfect for calm, scenic strolls. Plenty of outdoor enrichment and sniff-worthy adventures 🌲🐕 💚 What you can expect: Personalized care that honors your pet's individuality Experience with all temperaments, from easygoing to high-energy Puppy care, senior care, and routine consistency Lots of love, attention, and positive reinforcement Your pet won't just be watched—they're embraced as family, receiving attentive care, genuine companionship, and a focus on their happiness and well-being. I can't wait to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐶🐱

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for another person's four-legged friend, I make sure to keep all gates and doors closed while indoors. Additionally, I always leash the animals before opening any doors or fixtures. Finally, when I leave a residence, I ensure that all entry and exit areas are secured and left as I found them.

Elizabeth easy and accommodating to work with! Jig was very happy and well cared for.
Elizabeth is phenomenal! Her communication is excellent and even with my dogs that I worry about their anxiety and temperaments she handles them so well. I never have to worry about anything when she is watching my babies. I highly recommend booking her if you’d like your mind to be at ease so you can enjoy your time away.
Absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our baby boy and house while we were gone. We appreciate everything you did and look forward to seeing you again for our boy Buster!
Liz was great! She communicated well with us and even let us bring our dog over to have a playdate before we left him with her! 10/10 would highly recommend!!

Schedule
I work from home, so your furry friend will not be alone. I have a very large Basset Hound named Oliie and a pug named Evie, whom I enjoy taking long walks every day. I would love to have the pleasure of taking care of your pal as well!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsElizabeth can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I love making every pet’s stay feel special! For pups, that might mean fun walks, sniffari adventures, fetch sessions, tug-of-war, or silly games in the yard. For cats, I bring out the wand toys, laser pointers, cozy blankets, and plenty of chin scratches. I always match the vibe—whether your pet is a playful goofball, a gentle snuggler, or a curious explorer. And of course, if they have favorite toys or routines, we’ll make those part of our fun too. My goal is simple: keep their tail wagging, their purr motor running, and their hearts happy until you’re home.
