Pet care experience
I am a nurse by trade and a dog/cat mom by choice! I’m an animal lover who’s been caring for pets since childhood. My pets are my family and I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love and respect I show my own! I am a nurse anesthesia student with an active lifestyle so I am typically doing school work during the day but in my breaks I enjoy hiking, running, trips to the river, etc. I understand nuances of pets and the importance of sticking to certain parameters within a dog's routine. I know how important it is to me that Libby is well cared for when I'm away and I hope to be able to provide that to other pet owners as well! My work in the healthcare field speaks to my responsible nature and my commitment to the best interest of your pet!
Reviews
Was sure my dog was in good hands!
Elizabeth was amazing with Tater. He’s a puppy and, while the goodest of boys, takes some energy and a little patience. She even exposed him to her cat and gave us a full report on how he did with Miso so we’d know for future bookings. She was super flexible with our timing heading to/from Story Land with the kiddos and kept us up to date on what our littlest dude was up to while we were crushing the Polarcoaster.
Elizabeth is fantastic! Clio requires special care, and Elizabeth was super communicative and comprehensive in our upfront prep, and was great during her drop-in visit to make sure everything went smoothly for Clio. She was attentive to our fur baby's needs, and Clio seemed to have a great time hanging with her! We will definitely be working with Elizabeth again!
Thank you!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m a very affectionate person with pets, but also recognize when they want their space. I will definitely be interactive with your animal, but since I am studying, I am not able to play with them around the clock. However, breaks to give belly rubs and take walks are the highlight of my day! I prefer that dogs are crate trained in case I leave the house for a short period of time. I am open to discussing this if that’s not what is best for your dog! If booking a service in my home, you must be able to confirm that your dog is friendly with cats!
Home
Information Elizabeth S. would like to know about your pet
Please share any insights about behavioral quirks, including separation anxiety, food / toy guarding, etc. at the time of inquiry. If boarding, your dog should be able to sleep quietly through the night in an unfamiliar environment. I love high energy animals, but since I am a full-time student, I’m not available to play with dogs around the clock. If your dog is in need of constant attention, I may not be the best fit.
A typical day
In my home, we usually start the day out with a walk, followed by a good long run of schoolwork. On breaks, we got into the yard and usually taken another short walk around lunch. Then it’s back inside to keep studying with frequent breaks for belly rubs, pets, and treats if allowed!

Availability
I am a full-time student so I am home most of the day and generally take breaks to walk my dog and get some exercise. I’m available for potty breaks as frequently as your dog needs and have a fenced in backyard where they can run around and play. Walks are a part of our everyday routine.
