Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure in a new place that I know what makes a pet comfortable so I can make sure in a time of change with their owner gone they have as much stability as possible. I always want the pet to be the most comfortable since I’m in their home, but I also make sure to keep things as clean or better than I found them. My partner, who introduced me to Rover and is a Rover sitter herself, occasionally comes with me on visits.

Information Liz W. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know what some of their favorite things are - snacks, toys, activities, etc. Just as important is any relevant medical information, fears/aversions, and how they react to other dogs & animals in general.

A typical day

I love to explore the neighborhood dogs live in on their walks, finding all the best green spaces and dog parks to let them stretch! My absolute favorite (for dogs who don’t mind cars & have a lot of energy) is to take them hiking somewhere nearby like East Rock Park.

Pet care experience

I’ve spent my whole life loving animals, whether it’s the cats I grew up with, the class turtle I took home, or the farm animals I helped care for at my first high school job. In college I started watching other people’s pets and realized it was a wonderful chance for me to help other people with their animals and get some quality pet time in myself! I spent two years helping friends who worked for Rover with their walks until I realized I needed to start up myself. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats (and others!) of all ages, with many different medical conditions. Having my own special needs cat now has made me appreciate even more how important trustworthy & skilled pet care is - I hope I can be that for you!

Liz is the absolute best! Took care of my two kittens for over a week while I was away, took the best care of them and my kittens absolutely loved them! Would recommend Liz to everyone :)

Liz has walked my dog dozens of times. She’s friendly, super reliable, and great with Tucker.

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.
