Highlights
Pet care experience
Small Animal and Cat Care
As a kid, I lived with hamsters, guinea pigs, a cat, and numerous dogs - including an epileptic dog. I have work experience at a veterinary hospital, an animal (cat) rescue organization, and cat sitting in NYC. Please note that if this is your first time using Rover, every sitter has their own discount code to share with you. Make sure you ask for the code to get the first timer discount.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm happy to provide care and attention as needed for your pets. Each pet is unique and has their own preference on how to engage with a caretaker, so I would ask you to tell me what they love and do not prefer. I like to keep pet owners informed the way you like - whether that's with photos/text updates or a written note left at home.
Ratings and reviews
This was our first time with Lizz and she did an absolutely outstanding job. We have a pair of very sweet rescue cats, but they have a trauma history and that has resulted in some special needs in their feeding and care. As usual, the cats did all their usual cat things (refusing to eat, hiding etc). Then our equally finicky 1860's house acted up with a blaring wired-in smoke detector fail that further upset the cats until Lizz fixed it. Next came an epic heat dome, that descended upon the city meaning Lizz had to enact our complicated fan-cooling strategic window opening and closing choreography (since we don't have AC). The final insults was "Hazardous to Health" air quality levels sweeping into town from Canadian wildfires. Each challenge brought me to the nail-chewing brink of canceling the vacation and flying home, but Lizz's competence and solutions won me over each time. Lizz is exceptionally smart, skilled in cat herding and house issues. She is a good communicator: quickly responsive and compassionate with a nice sense of humor. She ended the cats' food strike quickly with special Lizz tricks, found all their difficult-to-access hiding places, and although these cats are hardcore fugitives; I claim they had nice expressions on their faces in the later photos (indicating they decided they liked Lizz too.) Lizz is our hands-down first choice for our next trips, even though after all of this we are possibly her last choice. Highly recommend!
Lizz was great watching our kitty for the first time. She was patient with her and went above and beyond to find ways to make the visits as smooth as possible. Her reports were thorough and gave us peace of mind while we were away.
Great with our shy cat! Gave him his space but made an effort to get him more comfortable, and eventually he did!!
Really great cat sitter! The cats (and house) were in very good shape when I got home. And Lizz takes excellent photos of the pets.
Lizz was a great cat sitter for our two cats! She sent regular updates and took fantastic photos. Highly recommend her!
My cat needed extra attention for a health issue and Lizz stepped up to provide care

Schedule
I'm available any day for drop-in feeding and caretaking for cats, small animals, and fish. I prefer to help in the Ann Arbor area, during times when school is in session or after school.
