Safety, trust & environment

I do not do home stays currently either in other people’s homes or mine. However when I do visits to your home while you are away, I will do everything I can to make sure your pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible. The goal is to stick to a routine and keep elements of what you would be doing with them were you home, so that they do not feel too thrown out of what is normal. I will love on them and give them as much care as I am able in lieu of your presence.

Information Liza R. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with all kinds of dogs, from the very large to the very small. I also have experience with special needs dogs and giving medication. I'd love to know what your expectations are for the stay.

A typical day

I will play with your dog, cuddle them, and take them on long and exciting walks. I will do whatever I can to make them happy and make their time with me enjoyable. I am happy for older and low energy pets to just sit with them and pet them, or sit on a bench while they lay in the grass.

Loving and Personal Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Liza and I'm thrilled you've taken the time to look at my profile. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you're choosing someone with experience, passion and who will treat your dog, cat, or other friend just like you do. I use a personalized approach tailored to the needs and personality of each different pet- it is very important to me to meet each little friend and treat them with personalized compassion. I have cared for dogs since birth. They've always been a part of my family and it was only natural that I would find a career in dog care. Currently I have a special needs dog in my home who I love very dearly, and she has taught me how to care for dogs who have a more difficult path in life. Chances are I can accommodate your special needs pet too! I have been dog walking and dog and cat sitting on and off for eleven years, and have only glowing reviews from my clients. My heart is full of love for every animal I meet and it is my utmost desire to do right by them. Completely by accident, my best friend is a cat, so if you have a feline friend, I can help with them too. I take time and care to treat every animal right. I am always early, if not on time, and make sure to clean everything up. I am experienced and have previously worked as a dog walker for an hour a day at a doggie daycare. Rover is my full time job right now. Please reach out to me to learn more, I'm so excited to hear from you.

Liza was very responsive and timely in her communication style. I appreciated her attention to detail and flexibility with our scheduling. She definitely went above and beyond and most importantly, gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacation without being concerned about the wellbeing of my cat. I strongly recommend her to other pet owners.
