Pet care experience

I have a degree in Zoology and have cared for animals of all shapes and sizes, from puppies and ponies to leopards and lemurs. I also have experience as a vet tech and administering various medications such as insulin, oral medications and ear application pens. I started working as an animal trainer in the 90’s when my family adopted a dog that I took to training classes every week. I then trained all the puppies she had, and continued to train every cat, dog and bird that came into our home after that. After 4 years of college and many more years working with exotic animals, in the emergency department of a busy veterinary clinic and assisting various wildlife research studies around Florida. Please reach out to schedule a complimentary meet and greet, I would love to meet you & your fur family! :) You can expect adorable high quality & professionally edited pictures of your pet, free of charge at your request. I can care for your cats, dogs, snakes, lizards, aquariums, farm animals and exotic zoo animals. We can discuss a custom quote via text or at our meet and greet.

I use Lizzie every time I need someone to watch my kitties. She’s dependable and does a great job!

Lizzie took great care of my cats over my school winter break. Plenty of updates and my cats were well cared for. I would certainly recommend her and would rebook again without hesitation!

Lizzie took great care of my dog while I was out of town. She provided timely updates despite going through a family emergency during Mochi's stay. I would highly recommend her for dogsitting and boarding duties!

Information Lizzie J. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what motivates them (Toys? Treats? Cuddles?) and any possible health concerns or allergies. This way I can communicate with your fur baby easier, and know what to keep an eye out for when they are in my care.

A typical day

Trips to the park, hiking trails, strolling along the beach and cuddling on the couch in the evening are just a few of the things dogs can do while they stay with us. I understand how much we can worry about our fur babies safety and wellbeing... So that is my top priority! But fun is a very close second. ;)
