Pet care experience
From small to large, puppy to senior, social to anti-social, leash reactive to the doesn't wasn't to move on a leash - I'm your dog sitter! I provide walks/runs and drop-in visits for dogs. Although I don't have formal animal care education, I am very familiar with all aspects of dog care and behavior. Personally, I have owned dogs and cats for the past 18 years. I have spent time volunteering as an animal caregiver and farmhand, where I have worked with a variety of animals (including dogs, goats, donkeys, birds, pigs, and wildlife). As a distance runner, I'm willing to provide whatever level of activity that your pet needs, whether that's a short walk or a run-up to 10 miles. I'm also an avid hiker and paddleboarder, so longer-term sitting can include such activities if your dog enjoys them! I do have a 7-year-old dog named Kuma (Alaskan Klee Kai) and a 2-year-old dog named Chloe (our lovable, clumsy, big rescue). Here are a few other details about my animal care: • Make pets familiar with self by showing empathy • Ensure that pets are fed and given water with proper intervals • Make sure that pets are walked several times a day to take care of their personal needs • Take instructions from pet owners regarding exercise needs and ensure that they are carried out • Dispense and administer medication when instructed by pet owner • Play with pets to ensure that they have a feeling of companionship • Observe pets for behavior or health issues and report them to owner • Provide training to puppies • Socialize dogs with other dogs when appropriate • Leash training • Close attention to escape artists (I know some of our dog friends need to be watched EXTRA carefully for harnesses, leashes, gaps in fenses, gate/door closure, etc.)

We felt so lucky to have found Liz!!! We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our girl was being well taken care of!!! Thank you Liz!
Liz was amazing! She provided great info to us and was great greeting the dogs. They liked her right away and soon became super comfortable. She provided us with updates and photos, and the dogs were content when we came home. We will definitely work with Liz again!
I can not recommend Liz enough and my boy Alfy loved her from the moment he met her! She is super sweet and very accommodating to any requests. She took a ton of load off my mind, worrying about Alfy while I’m away at work. And those photos she takes of him, I haven’t had such good shots of him, he’s never so still for me :) She didn’t even hesitate to clean up the mess Alfy made when he found a bounty lying around. Thanks Liz for being so wonderful!
Liz was responsive and flexible when we needed a dog walker for our two dogs. Our dogs were happy and settled after their walks.
