Pet care experience
I've taken care of many different types of dogs for over eight years. I have raised three dogs from since they were a puppy and have gotten great experience training them as well. All three of them are high energy dogs, two of them large dogs. I am very comfortable with them and can definitly handle your pup! I have taken care of many friends and families dogs, as well as my neighbors. I also have experience taking care of cats. I've had two kitties for about 6 months now that I saved off the streets after that were thrown out. They followed me for so long I knew it was meant to be. I also have two friends that I'm the first person they call to take care of their cats when they are out of town. I love animals and am very patient with them. I love taking dogs on walks and I am great at following care and feeding directions. Your pup or kitten will be in the best care with me.
Reviews
Liz did a great job in caring for my 2 dogs and 1 cat. What I liked a lot os how she sent photos and kept me updated on how things were going. She also texted immediately when she saw a neighbor giving treats to be sure I was aware.
We needed a sitter last minute and our dog is a very hard dog to sit for. She’s very high energy and still training. Our situation then got very hairy with how messy flights are these days. Liz was very accommodating , very nice, very caring, communicative, and she sent us pictures and updates. She kept our dog very safe and very happy and we will probably be asking her to sit for us in the future.
The girls Loved Liz!
Liz was very reliable when our plans changed and needed extra care time, caring and thoughtful! Very grateful for her!

Safety, trust & environment
I am very attentive to the animals around me. I make sure they are satisfied and happy at all times. If I notice they have a lot of energy I will take the time to either play with them, walk them, or provide an enrichment activity to stimulate them. I always monitor them when providing enrichment activities or when they are eating to ensure they don't choke on anything or hurt themselves depending on the activity. When on walks I avoid interactions with other dogs as well. You never know how another dog will react to yours, even if your pup is the nicest and most well-behaved dog ever. Your pup will always be safe with me.
Information Liz P. would like to know about your pet
It's important that I know if they are reactive, especially for walks. I need to know if they get along with other dogs so I know how to react when one comes into view when walking. It's also important to know what triggers they may have (places they don't like to be touched, etc).
A typical day
I enjoy walking dogs at Tommy Schumpert Park and small trails. I especially love taking dogs out to Ijams Nature Center. Tug of war and fetch are both something I love doing with pups and I'll do either or both depending on their preference. I like making lick-mats and sniffing activities for dogs, for example using a snuffle mat.

I have one dog and two cats currently, and my family has two dogs that I see and help with regularly. My pup is almost 3 years and still very high-energy. I take him on walks and play with him every day as well as incorporate brain stimulation activities to make sure he is tuckered out and happy. Every time I visit my family I help with their dogs, including feeding, walking, and sometimes bathing them.
