Pet care experience
I come from a family with decades of dog breeding and training experience. I’m excellent in training, care and loving animals of all ages. I have experience with healthy, high needs and ill pets. I don’t shy away from stinky jobs or hard jobs. I am an incredibly active person and love to be outdoors in rain, shine, wind or snow! When I am indoors, I try to snuggle my senior cat as much a I can after recently losing his brother to cancer. Being a mom to 3 boys, I have also had lots of experience with small furry critters as well as wet and scaled friends. I’ve bred fish and successfully rescued lizard babies (eggs) from their deceased pregnant mom (gross… I know) when I lived in California. They hatched and lived!!! I’ve even raised and bred butterflies. 🤪 All life is precious and should be loved!
Reviews
Liz has been watched our lab Gracie many times without a problem. Gracie races to the door to great her every time. Liz takes her for walks around the block for her exercise when she watches Gracie.
Liz is such an incredible person. She walks our puppy 5 days a week and has been so so helpful in teaching him how to walk on a leash. She is kind, trustworthy, and patient. Her understanding of animals is astounding and she never fails to meet every need. We love her.
Liz is the best! She has been walking our puppy 5 days a week for months now, & is great with him! She’s been great at helping him learn to walk on a leash, & helped us with reinforcing basic commands. She clearly cares a ton for every pet she meets, & has a solid understanding of animals & the way they operate which has proved to be very helpful as she’s introduced our puppy to other pets & people they meet while out on their walks. Liz is the first person outside of my family I’ve trusted to care for my animals, & I’m so thankful I did!

Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pet how you ask me to. I view myself as a guest in your home and in your neighborhood and will strive to be a helpful and caring presence. I believe consistency is important for pets so I will do my best to mimic the boundaries and rules you have for your furry friends. BONUS: I will also run your dog upon request! 🏃♀️🐕
Information Liz D. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know their social exposure. Are they nervous around other dogs? People? Do they think bikes are evil murderers? None of these things are deal breakers-I just want to anticipate what will help your dog feel the most safe while in my care.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on our local trails! It is so amazing to see them in their “natural” environment. Plus, the trail is easier on their paws than pavement. But, when pavement is the option available we still have a great time!
