About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs from teeny Mini Schnauzers, Wiener dogs, to Labs and Bernese mountain dogs. I have house sit while watching cats, dogs, and fish a like. I have cared for my friends and families animals for a day to a couple weeks. There’s nothing better than taking a walk with a friend after a day of teaching. I am a teacher during the day, so my schedule is open 4-10pm during the week and open during the weekend. After I am done with teaching I come home and walk my dog, Theo. I have a friendly dog that would love to play or just hang out with your fur baby. As well as, living in an area with walking trails. I have a available room that works as a kennel if needed.
“Elizabeth was amazing! I hired her to watch my dogs, she did a great job and the dogs loved her. We have some outside animals as well which normally dont need attending too. Little did I know one if our goats passed away while we were gone from old age, Elizabeth stayed by her side and took care of her until the end. I couldnt have asked for a more caring person for the job. So much better than a kennel!”
