Availability
I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest. In my home, your pup will enjoy: • Dog-Friendly Lake Access – I live on a dog-friendly lake, and during the warmer months, I can even take your pup swimming if that’s something they enjoy! • Constant Companionship – I work from home, so they’re rarely alone. • Live Video Monitoring – If I step out for a short time (1-2 hours max), I have a camera that lets me check in, talk to them, and even give treats. • Crate-Free Environment – Your dog can enjoy their stay without the need for a crate, as I have a dog-proofed home that keeps them safe while preventing them from getting into anything they shouldn’t. • Personalized Care – I understand canine body language and behavior, ensuring their routine fits their personality and comfort level. • Daily Enrichment – Playtime, mental stimulation, and structured activities to keep them engaged. • Cozy & Safe Environment – Whether they prefer a quiet nap spot or an active day, I create a space where they feel at home. Every dog is different, and I make sure their stay is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible!

Information Elizabeth S. would like to know about your pet
Before your dog stays with me, here are a few important things to know to ensure I provide the best care: 1. Diet & Feeding Routine – Let me know about any specific dietary needs, feeding schedule, or food preferences your dog has. 2. Behavior & Temperament – Are there any behaviors I should be aware of? Any triggers, fears, or things that help them feel at ease? 3. Health & Medical Needs – Any allergies, medications, or health conditions I need to keep track of? It’s important to know if your dog requires special care or attention. 4. Up-to-Date on Vaccines – Please ensure your dog is up to date on all vaccinations to help maintain a healthy and safe environment for everyone. 5. Exercise & Play Preferences – Does your dog enjoy long walks, playtime, or prefer more relaxed activities? I’ll tailor their day to match their energy level. 6. Comfort Items – Are there any toys, blankets, or special items they need to feel at home? 7. Crate/Separation Preferences – Does your dog have a crate they’re comfortable with, or do they prefer to roam crate-free? Also, how do they do when left alone? 8. Training or Behavioral Goals – If you’d like me to reinforce certain behaviors or training, let me know so I can incorporate that into their stay. 9. Favorite Activities or Special Requests – Any activities or routines that help them feel relaxed, like certain play games, favorite treats, or nap spots? The more I know about your dog, the better I can make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible!
A typical day
A typical day for me is all about making sure the pups are happy and comfortable! Here’s how it usually goes: • Morning: I start the day with some morning snuggles and let the dogs out for their potty break. While I work from home, I keep an eye on everyone, giving them playtime or some fun activities to keep them engaged. • Midday: I take a break for a walk around the yard or just some time to hang out and enjoy the day. If I need to step out for a bit, I always check in on them through the live camera and make sure they’re doing great. • Afternoon: The pups get more attention with playtime, mental enrichment, or a nice cozy spot to rest while I continue working. I’m always here to make sure they feel at ease and entertained. • Evening: After work, we wind down with a walk or some chill playtime. Then it’s dinner, and the pups get plenty of love and attention as the day comes to a close. The whole day is centered around keeping the dogs comfortable, happy, and safe, with lots of care and attention every step of the way!

Reviews
Elizabeth is a caring, responsible, well-prepared and well-educated dog professional. Her communication is outstanding, and she treats her dogs as if they were her own, while being flexible and making sure she knows what YOUR dog needs. She has a background in dog training and behavior, which is terrific. She is thoughtful and caring - I am a very nervous dog owner with a high-energy escape artist of a Jack Russell, and Elizabeth did an amazing job of taking care of her (and me!). She was flexible, easy to work with, and gave Tori not just safe, loving care, but also grand adventures! She has a strong understanding of dog behavior and uses that to make sure your dog is superbly taken care of and happy. I recommend her without reservation, and am looking forward to using her again! It is an absolutely fantastic and reassuring thing to know that Tori has a wonderful home away from home.
When you have a new puppy, trusting an unfamiliar person or service can feel overwhelming. We were lucky to have found Liz to tend to Milo for doggy daycare 4 days a week. Not only did Liz take care of him, but Liz and her dogs helped Milo become more social and build confidence. What sets Liz apart is her genuine love for animals and her professionalism. Liz always puts the dogs' well-being first, and if anything ever affects our schedule, Liz communicates clearly and with plenty of notice. Liz is incredibly reliable, consistent, and trustworthy. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own, and give you real peace of mind I highly recommend reaching out to Liz.
