About: I have had dogs my entire life as a child and have one currently as an adult. I know the perfect line between discipline and love to make sure our four legged family members stay safe, loved, and happy! Pet care is best for my schedule after 4pm!! I can dedicate the most amount of time (and love!) to your furry friend once I am out of work and studying for my medical entrance exam!

About: I grew up with all sorts of pets, there’s never been a day in my life where I haven’t been near an animal! Not only can I care for your dogs or cats, but I can also care for any other pet that you may have. I know how to adjust to their personalities and care for them in ways that they need. I currently work at a school, which allows me to be fully available during the summer months, as well as on select weekdays after school hours. I will be available after school from 3:30pm to 5:30pm on Tuesday-Thursday. During the summer I am available Tuesday-Thursday 8:00am-5:00pm. While working at a school, I’ve developed patience, strong organizational skills, and a commitment to consistent routines—qualities I apply to every pet I care for. I strive to make your pet comfortable and happy in their home. When coming to your home, I respect your guidelines and boundaries; I will stick to your feeding instructions, walking schedule, any behavioral cues or commands your pet knows; and frequent communication regarding your pet.

About: Pets have always been a meaningful part of my life. I recently lost my childhood dog, Sophee, and her absence has reminded me just how much joy and companionship animals bring. With years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even a variety of farm animals, I’m confident in my ability to provide attentive, loving care. I’d be honored to help make your busy schedule a little easier by ensuring your pet gets the attention, comfort, and care they deserve. I just graduated from Gustavus and am working a few jobs this summer to help me pay for my graduate school this coming fall! I work a restaurant job, so typically I’m only available before 4, or after 4, and I only know less than a week ahead. Despite this, I'm committed to making it workout with you and whatever pet you may have! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific needs they may have. In your home, I aim to keep their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible by sticking to their usual schedule and respecting your space. I also prioritize secure leash handling during walks and double-check doors and gates to prevent escapes. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, attentiveness, and plenty of love.

About: I love pets, walks, and the great outdoors! I grew up on a farm where I cared for goats, rabbits, hens, horses, cattle, cats and dogs. Growing up, we always had inside pets, including kittens and puppies. As a teenager, I regularly pet sat for neighbors who had cats and dogs, which gave me a wide exposure to different breeds, personalities and schedules. As an adult, I've raised and successfully trained two puppies (small and large breed) into adulthood. I also adopted and rehabilitated 1 dog from a shelter, and 2 cats. Over the years, I've cared for several dogs and cats for friends and family, including (small and large breed) senior dogs. I have experience interacting with anxious and fearful pets, in addition to administering their medications. I work from home, which allows me to provide dedicated care and attention to your pet. During work hours, I can offer frequent potty breaks and play time in our fenced backyard. In the morning and evenings, I can take your dog for long walks on nearby trails and post-walk cuddles. Overnights can be in a kennel, couch or bed. I approach each pet with calm energy, understanding they each have their own needs and personalities. I abide by my client's preferences to ensure their pets will be comfortable and safe. When I house sit or walk new dogs, I adapt to their space as much as possible. When I board dogs, I integrate them into my environment, ensuring they feel welcome. I have a fenced backyard with a pond, perfect for fetching. I have two kids (11, 15) and a small breed (male, Jack Russell terrier) named Tony, who sleeps on their beds. Tony gets along with all dogs, but also enjoys sleeping in his kennel, when necessary. We have several rooms available, if your dog prefers privacy. We live close to a veterinary clinic, several city parks, dog parks, and walking trails. Please let me know how to best accommodate your pet's needs.

About: I have experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility for about a year. I’m so grateful for that experience because I learned so much. I learned to read doggy body language really well, so I have the utmost confidence that I can help your pup feel comfortable around me! I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with cats and dogs of all sizes, temperaments and I’ve had my fair share who are picky eaters. So I won’t be offended if your pup doesn’t take treats from me! I have worked with dogs who are confident, and dogs who are shy and just need some extra time to warm up to me. While the puppy appointments are great, I also have gotten a lot of work in with senior pets too! Whether your pup is going to push me out the door to play fetch, or would rather spend some time in the couch getting snuggles and belly rubs, they’ll taken care of just like they were my own fur baby. Hi there! I’m Elizabeth! I currently work from 7:30 - 5 Monday through Thursday. I am currently available for house sitting almost every Friday and weekend. I am available for walks or play times after 6 pm most days Monday through Thursday! I currently have 3 amazing basset hounds and 2 cats that I live with. Our bassets have a fenced in yard, but I’ve also lived with mixed breeds. My mixed breeds have been anywhere from smaller dogs to 100+ pounds! I understand that some pets are cautious around new people. When at work at my veterinary clinic, I take my time with dogs that are more shy. I want all pets I encounter to be my friend, and I know it can take longer with some pets.

About: Pet Care Experience: I’ve cared for pets of all kinds—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors—and I pride myself on giving each animal the same love and attention they’d get from their family.
