I'm a Pied Piper!
Pet care experience
I grew up in a household with dogs, cats and parrots (in other words - a zoo!) and went on to show toy dogs and start a rescue group for puppy mill dogs. My rescue work requires a deep understanding of canine psychology and patience to facilitate the rehabilitation process for dogs who have never known caring human touch or experienced all the "scary" things (the hustle and bustle of city life, loud noises, young children, etc.) their new world offers. I also worked for a suburban pet sitting agency for ten years before deciding to strike out on my own. While working at the agency, I garnered a reputation for being the best working with more challenging pets and those who have special needs. I will love your pet as my own and do everything in my power to keep him or her safe, happy and healthy. I also provide transportation services to the vet, doggy daycare, and groomer.
Reviews
Liz D. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
Good first experience! Liz took care of our 3 pets while we were away for over a week. This was our first time using Rover and we were quite nervous at first, but it was 100% worth it. Liz stayed at our house over night, sent photos and updates when needed. She was responsive when we checked in. We had peace of mind knowing our pets were comfortable at home while we were gone. When we got home, everything was just as we left it, plus some extra treats and goodies for the animals, which was very sweet. We would definitely book with Liz again in the future!
I’ve been using Liz for a couple of years now for my cats and she is fantastic. She is always communicative and trustworthy. She has experience with giving insulin shots so that’s a huge plus. Definitely recommend Liz for your pets caretaking needs.
We have a pair of fairly selective dogs, but Liz is great with them, and they're comfortable enough to play and show off!

Information Liz D. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds. For those with sighthounds, I am your woman! Sighthounds have unique personalities and extra care needs to be taken to ensure their safety. I am owned by several Italian Greyhounds and two whippets so I understand their desire to chase, their athleticism and the need to give them the opportunity to exercise while ensuring they have no opportunities to get loose or injure themselves.
A typical day
Whether your best buddy likes to play fetch for hours or lay in your lap for cuddles and TLC, I will do whatever your pet wants or needs to do. After all, they are the boss!
