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.

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!

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!

ICU nurse who loves dogs!

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!

Elizabeth took excellent care of our sweet boy. We've got an 86 lb boy that isn't always the easiest to manage but she did so well with him ❤️ 100% recommend. We (and Auggie especially) are excited to have found such a good sitter. Thanks so much Elizabeth!!
