Pet care experience
I have 10 years of experience walking, boarding, visiting, and loving a very anxious, very strong pitbull (family dog - will not be present during walks/visits/sitting). I have additionally spent the last year walking the same four dogs and boarding two of those dogs in my home. I have experience with a range of dogs; seniors to puppies, Malteses to Retrievers to Pitbulls, rescue mutts to purebreds. Every dog is different, every owner is different, and I hope to accommodate that. I try my hardest to get to know your dog's personality, needs, and triggers; I always weigh a dog's safety, comfort, and their owner's peace of mind. When I meet new dogs, their owners often say "huh, they're usually more cautious around strangers I am not afraid of shedding, nipping, teething, scratching, nor do I fear stereotypically 'aggressive' breeds. In my home, I keep a variety of treats, toys, blankets, and food bowls, as well as an elevated feeding tray and a large bed that I wash between visits. I'd love to have your dog over to walk, play, cuddle, or whatever else they need :)
Reviews
Liv is a heart-centered, diligent and attentive person that cares about the well-being of dogs on all levels. They have cared for my 12 year old pit bull terrier for the last 5 years. Liv walks, feeds, grooms, plays with, and brings my dog Halftime to the beach. My dog absolutely loves spending time with Liv and is grateful for all the attention he gets. Liv does their research about individual breeds and their needs so she’s in tune with the dog. A natural really! Highly recommend Liv for any of your dog needs. Your dog will have the top quality of care, love and entertainment.
When I hired Liv to walk my dog, and also to sit my dog for a few hours, she took on this job as if she were taking care of her own dog. First Liv asked me a number of questions about my dog's routine and behavior. She wanted to understand my dog as an individual and not just another dog. Liv also was communicative and texted me about how his walk went, and if he pooped. I found all of this very important in a dog walker/sitter. It gave me a huge sense of confidence in hiring Liv.
Liv is a dedicated and caring dog caregiver! They're extremely enthusiastic about dog care and do everything in their power to make dogs feel loved, cared for, and comfortable!

Information Liv M. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know a dog's triggers; TV, cars, loud/sudden noises, etc. I also try to consider the environment an owner creates for their dog at home; where are their bowls and bed usually kept? Do certain behaviors, movements, or appliances scare/agitate them? I appreciate any information relevant to a dog's safety and comfort.
A typical day
There are a number of parks and yards to walk to/play in, as well as the beach! I'll happily participate in a game of fetch or tug; I also love a good cuddle or sunbath.
