Information Liz W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your dog's health, any relevant medical history that you think I should know. I'd also like to know any quirks or behavioral tendencies your dog may have. For example, how they are with other dogs, or if they don't like to be pet a certain way, etc.

A typical day

It all depends on your dog's activity level! We can go for walks around my neighborhood, play in the backyard/house. Or just snuggle on the couch if that's what they want!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Liz! I love all kinds of dogs (all other animals too) and I always have had heavy involvement with animals ever since I can remember. I got a German Shepherd puppy at 8 weeks old, who grew to be 95 lbs. He lived to be 14 and was an amazing, intelligent dog with a very dominant personality. Now I often watch my mom's Chihuahua, Scooby, who's basically a living teddy bear. I currently have my dad's dog Libby staying with me while he summers here from Florida. She's a wonderful, non-reactive, balanced dog, though she has gotten less tolerant of "bouncy" dogs as she's gotten older. She's not up for playing rough anymore. I've also had 4 cats at once, pet chickens, guinea pigs, rats, large donkeys, and so much more over the years. I also worked at Petco for over 2 years and got so much more experience with all types of animals. I have a passion for animals - they just make life better. They deserve the best we can give them!

Liz was phenomenal with our nervous guy (and anxious owners 😉). Gentle and loving with our dog, responsive and flexible with us when we needed to push back our pickup time super last minute. Will absolutely book again and refer anyone looking for a home away from home for their pup!

We are new to the area and needed someone to drop in on our dog Beau. Liz was great. She came on time, made sure Beau was fed and let out and provided plenty of pictures of their time together! I will definitely be reaching out when we need some help with Beau again!

Liz did an amazing job handling separation anxiety with our Brady for a first time sleepover. Thank you Liz for also easing our anxiety too! 😊 and sending pictures ❤️

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.
