Safety, trust & environment

I have a lot of patience for pets who aren't trusting right away but still need some love and company, or let out to potty by a stranger. I have no problem dealing with challenging behaviors or those unique quirks to try and gain the trust of your baby! I'll always have some healthy treats to spoil them (with your approval or I am happy to use pre-approved treats you already have on hand). I can feed, water, socialize, play, walk, medicate, and spoil them all!

Information Liz M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs or anything I need to be aware of behaviorally, let me know! I am not adverse to medicating, including injections, pills, or topicals. I have experience with pets of a variety of behaviors and personalities. Some pets just don't warm up fast, some have weird quirks, and some are a little overly excited about life and seeing people. I can handle it! I'm not afraid to correct behaviors, safely and lovingly, whenever needed. Pets respond best to being shown respect and patience, with a firm voice and stance and praise when appropriate. I am 100% fear free.

A typical day

I love to do whatever YOUR pet loves to do. We can play, snuggle on the couch, hang out outside, or anything else that your pet enjoys.

Pet care experience

I have had pets of multiple species throughout my life. Cats hold a special place in my heart, but I've also never been without a dog. My wife calls me a "Cat Whisperer" I just understand their body language and how to approach them, but I suppose I'll take the praise. On top of owning cats and dogs my entire life, I worked at a dog kennel for 6 years in HS & College and I have worked at a doggy day care!

Liz has been a wonderful sitter for my animals. Liz even provided some veterinarian selection feedback and clarification on the notes I left, which I appreciate. I would happily have Liz watch my animals again :)

Liz helped us out in a pinch and was great with our dog! Will be reaching out again for future needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
