Hey y'all, my name is Elizabeth and I have spent my whole life around animals. I have been a Rover sitter for a few years now, and I absolutely love the opportunity to take care of a variety of fur babies. Growing up, we always had family dogs, and we were fosters for a local shelter for a couple years. Fostering allowed me to develop confidence with a variety of breeds and age groups from a young age. I began dogsitting and dog walking around my neighborhood on a frequent basis in middle school and continued through high school. During this time, my family had a senior corgi mix and we adopted a shepherd mix puppy, which allowed me to become skilled at walking multiple dogs with different needs / paces at once. I gained experience providing training and teaching basic commands and tricks when we adopted the puppy, and I’ve kept up with this experience through rover and my roommate’s dog. My family dog is a rescue with incontinence issues, so I have become proficient in providing medicine orally. Through Rover, I have gained experience providing other dogs, and cats, with oral medicine as well. I also have experience with doggy diapers, as my dog went through a few phases where she needed to wear them, and experience with previous clients as well. I have experience with many other species, including horses, chickens, and cats. In high school, there were a few stray cats in my neighborhood that we took in for a few months before finding them permanent homes. My senior year of college, I had a long-term foster cat and lived with two others that I frequently took care of when my roommates were out of town. I have now adopted two cats of my own and love them with my whole heart.
