Experience and flexible schedule

Pet care experience

Hi! I always had dogs growing up, and I have a few years' experience working in a boarding kennel and volunteering at a rescue, so I'm used to being around all kinds of dogs: big and small, puppies, seniors, calm and quiet, energetic and playful, special needs, minor behavior issues, you name it. I've worked with shy dogs, anxious dogs, assertive dogs, mischievous dogs, dogs with diabetes, 17-year-old dogs, and many others. I'm comfortable going for long walks, running around outside, playing or hanging out inside, and of course taking care of food, water, medicine, etc. I tutor part-time, so my schedule is pretty open and flexible, especially in the mornings before 12:00 and evenings after 4:00. If I have notice, I can almost always move things around to accommodate different schedules.

Elizabeth was great with my dog, Mellie, who has separation anxiety and is also reactive towards other dogs. When I came home from my trip, my dog practically ignored me which was a good sign, she seemed super happy to be spending time with Elizabeth while I was gone. Elizabeth also took great care of my home!

Elizabeth maintained good communication throughout her stay, and I came home to a clean home and happy pup! Thank you!

Elizabeth was a great fit for us! She was understanding and patient with Pepa who’s a bit nervous and needs time to warm up to others. We were also pleased that she lives nearby and was punctual and responsible. We will gladly have her back!

Information Elizabeth W. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if a dog will need medication or special care, whether he or she is okay with other dogs, cats, or kids if applicable, and if he or she might be anxious or fearful around new people. Any information you could share about your dog's personality in general would be really helpful.

A typical day

I love long walks, especially ones that involve nature. Dog parks and beaches are great if your dog likes other dogs and people. Regular parks and backyards are also good if your dog is more of an introvert. I can practice commands or tricks and do other mentally-stimulating activities for very active dogs. I'm also an expert frisbee and tennis ball thrower.
