Hello, I'm Liz! I started my dog sitting career in Seattle and have been living in Portland now for a little over 4 years. I really love all the dogs I've had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with. I have owned and taken care of all different kinds of dogs throughout my lifetime. Big, small, puppies, you name it! Not only do I have quite a few repeat clients but I've dog sat for neighbors, friends, and family members many times over the years. I am trustworthy, dependable, and always full of energy, just like your pooch! I am always respectful when in a client's home, leaving everything just the way you left it. I pay attention to detail and most importantly, your pets behaviors. Some of the things I like to know about your pet are their favorite toys/hobbies, triggers, and whether or not they have any separation anxiety. Every dog I watch I make sure is comfortable and happy, that is what's most important to me. The fun and attention shouldn't stop while you're away! I currently do not have any dogs of my own because I live in an apartment and if I were to have a dog, I would want to give them the life they deserve. Being on Rover gives me the opportunity to be around dogs, as animals are one of the things that truly make me happy. When your dog is happy, I'm happy. I work from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday and go into the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So dogs would need to be okay with being along 8-9hrs on Tuesday and Thursday. I prefer to take jobs that are close to my home so I can give your dog all the attention they need. If you have any additional questions I'm more than happy to answer them! Pet care fits into my daily routine well. I typically get up early to provide long walks in the morning and in the evenings as well. Dogs should have at least one long walk a day with a few other short walks as needed for potty breaks and to let the energy out. At this time I only provide house sitting services in clients' homes. I am respectful of all client's spaces, making sure to clean up after myself and your lovely pooch before departing after a visit. I prefer providing house sitting this way because being in a familiar environment reduces the amount of stress on your dog. I try to spend as much time in the home as possible so that they always have a friend around to give them pets and cuddles <3
