“I entrusted my fur-daughter, Bella to Elizabeth, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Elizabeth was professional, friendly, and clearly cared for animals. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and Elizabeth was extremely detail-oriented, asking great questions about Bella’s needs, habits and preferences. She provided so many regular updates, photos and videos that I knew Bella was in great hands. After we got back, the next morning our pup was sniffing around the house with her toy, looking to play with her buddy Elizabeth, that’s when I knew Bella really had bonded! I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. If you are looking for a responsible adult look no further! I will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again in the future!”


About: I have several years of tending to dogs and cats, (as well as some birds) of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling potentially difficult dogs and cats, regardless of age and/or disabilities. I have also worked at Morris Animal Inn and currently work at a vet clinic while I prepare to go to vet school. I have a cat of my own, Forrest who I love very dearly. I can also administer medications orally, topically, and subcutaneously. I can monitor all bathroom trips for stool and urine output, give baths, clips nails, or clean out ears if needed. I also take the BEST pictures of pets and can give you updates whenever you’d like :) At the moment, I am currently working full time at a vet clinic, but most weekends I am off or get out early. Im currently available most Friday afternoons to Sundays nights as well as most Tuesdays. Im also flexible to work other days circumstantially. I have a formerly feral cat at home who is now an indoor-only cat that I adopted from my current job. I feed him twice daily as well as clean his litter box morning’s and evenings. He is up to date on all of his exams and shots, and is also on a hydrolyzed diet since he has some food allergies. Additionally I make sure to keep his nails short since he loves to make biscuits on my face :)
