Pet care experience
I currently share my life with a senior dog named Tia (13 years old) and a senior cat named Tabasco, aka Tabi, (14 years old)....both have been with me for 12 years but prior to these two sweethearts I've had dogs and cats my entire life.....and prior to that, as a child, I was raised on a hobby-farm, so I'm very comfortable around animals. Also, for a year and a half I stayed with my sister, who, at that time was fostering dogs and then doing doggy daycare, boarding and training, plus she has three dogs of her own, so I had the sincere pleasure of spending time and sharing my love with many different breeds. Having travelled around North America in my self-converted tiny-home-on-wheels (Ontario to Arizona to BC, then cross-Canada), I was always very vigilant for dangers to my little Tia, such as rattle snakes, coyotes and wolves, birds of prey, and something we don't have here in Ontario ("goat heads"; HORRIBLE for paws). I would do same with your pet....I would always be vigilant and keep your pet safe from harm. I take my Tia for a walk at least twice a day, some days we go three times....morning and pre-bed are for her....I let her go at her pace, sniffing all the sniffs, relieving herself, meeting other dogs. If we go a third time, weather permitting (Tia doesn't "do" rain haha), that's more for exploration of new places. I would be happy to devote some of my time to your pet, whether that's a dog, cat, bird, hamster, gerbil, guinea pig, bunny, fish....I'm your girl! If you'll let me prove myself to you, I promise to not disappoint you! P.S. I do not bring Tia or Tabi with me when I do a Sit & Stay (unless my Rover Clients say it's ok), nor do I bring Tia for a walk when I'm walking a Rover Client dog, again, unless they say it's ok.

Reviews


Once again, we cannot say enough incredible things about Lizzie. She took care of our two rambunctious doodles at our house and our dogs love her to bits to the point that they are still sad that Lizzie had to leave them! Highly highly recommended!!! Thank you so much Lizzie!


Lizzy goes so well above and beyond even what we could have imagined as the best pet sitter for our dogs. We will always use Lizzy as our go to. She’s truly lovely and deeply cares. Thank you Lizzy!


Second Sit & Stay with Liz and it was just as good as the first. We went away feeling confident that our pup and cat were well taken care of and in trusting hands. We received routine updates from Liz and never felt worried at any point. If you're not sure, just send Liz a message, schedule a meet and greet, and you’ll know immediately that she is one of the best! We trust her with our home and our fur kids. Not an ounce of doubt!

This is our 2nd time requesting Lizzy to look after Leo. Not surprisingly, Leo loves having Lizzy spend time with him. Again, Lizzy communicated regularly to me, with many cute pics. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lizzy again!

I don't offer boarding, so I would not be able to take care of your pet in my home. When I stay at Client's homes, I take care of the pets of course, but also do light housecleaning, take out the trash of needed, do some light yardwork (or snow shoveling during winter), bring in mail and deliveries if necessary, water the plants etc. My primary focus is the welfare of the pets I've been hired to look after, but I am open to other tasks as well.
Information Lizzy L. would like to know about your pet
Please note, I do not agree with or condone cruelty of ANY kind to our four-legged family members, so if you employ the use of shock collars, choke collars, prong collars or any other form of cruel and painful restraint for your dog, I am not participating in that and will not accept your request for dog-sitting or dog-walking.
A typical day
Every pet is different, just like us humans....some like more stimulation and activity, and others require less....so what I provide to your dog will depend on what he or she is used to and what he or she needs to be a well-adjusted family member...we would discuss this during our Meet & Greet. I personally love the outdoors so if your dog requires a longer walk, I am totally up for that!

Availability
I am an Independent Travel Consultant (39 years in the travel business), so that means I set my own work hours and schedule, but as a PetParent myself, my days start and end with the care of my Tia & Tabi, as so too they would start and end with the care of your fur-baby.
