Safety, trust & environment

I am able to host pets in my apartment! I live in an upstairs studio apartment and spend much of my time there, when not in school. I have a 360°camera installed to watch your pet if I have to spend any time away. My apartment complex has a spacious lawn that is entirely fenced in. In my clients home, I am extra careful to follow any house rules. In case of overnight caretaking, I am comfortable with any sleeping arrangements (couch etc.). My top priorities are your pup and your preferences!

Information Elizabeth W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet needs any accommodations so I can let you know if adjustment is possible for me! I am very flexible and most things are not a problem. Please know my apartment has stairs so if you have a breed that is too heavy to carry (40+ lbs), please consider if they are able to climb up the staircase.

A typical day

If your dog enjoys fetch, walks/jogs, tug of war, or just watching TV, I'm up for it! Of course, extended nap time is always welcome. Any toys you send with your animal will be used well :D I also have a small balcony in my apartment where your pet can lounge or people watch. They are only allowed out there when I am directly watching them in-person, of course.

Compassionate and skilled sitting!

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm, caring for pets of all shapes and sizes! I've had many dogs over the years, from young to old and big to small. I am experienced with giving medication, baths, nail trims and love! I am very adaptable to your pets needs.

Elizabeth did a great job watching my newly adopted dog. She treated her very good and everything looked great upon my return. I will call on her again to sit with my pup!

Elizabeth was wonderful to work with! She was able to take my dog pretty last-minute and she kept me well informed and sent pictures. Very professional, I would very happily leave my boy with her again

Elizabeth was great! She continually updated me throughout the boarding process with pictures and videos. She was great about playing with my tireless dog and they seemed to have an amazing time together!
