Pet Sitting & Dog Walking

My name is Elizabeth, and I am on a short break from veterinary school to work and make some extra cash on the side working with animals. I am looking for animal parents who want the best care for their pets, and would like to make some extra student cash by offering my many services such as walking dogs, pet sitting, grooming, etc.

I have a mini doxie of my own at home. She's 2 and her name is Bella. She is my life, and I treat her as if she were one of my children. I also have a 4 month old kitten named Ellie. I also grew up having a doxie/yorkie mix who just passed away last fall. I've also owned many gerbils, mice, rabbits, critters, etc.

My Experiences:

1. I worked at Delavan Vet Clinic in Wisconsin 2008-2009, shadowing and working as a kennel attendant.
2. I finished one year at Argosy University for the Veterinary Technology program.
3. I also fostered dogs and cats for a rescue called Wags and Whiskers(MN) for a year.
4. I was previously employed at Petland as a kennel technician, working with all types of animals, giving shots and medications, as well as taking care of sick pets.
5. I worked at Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital for a season as a kennel assistant, and I walked dogs and took care of dogs that belonged to owners as well as rescue animals.
6. I took a course for animal CPR and rescue, so I know what to do in emergencies.
7. I currently work at Dupage Animal Hospital as a kennel technician and I am cross training, learning more about being a vet tech.

Dog walking:

I have the daytime off (before 3pm) to come by and let your dogs out as needed. If you work long hours and your pet is left alone, I offer my services to come let your dog out or walk them(whichever you prefer) and play with them for about an hour. I charge around $10-$20 a visit, depending on the size and number of dogs, and amount of time you would like me to stay.

Pet sitting:

I can watch any pet, from hamsters to snakes to dogs or cats. Just let me know what you have and how long you will be gone. I can work around either watching your pet at your house or having them stay at my house depending on the size of the animal and how many.

Special services:

* Nail trims - $6
* Bath - $10
* Ear cleaning - $5
* Drying/brushing - $5

You may request these extra services, and they can be done during the time I am watching your pet. If you would like to request a service separately, then that is accepted as well.

If you would like to tell me the dates that you would be gone ahead of time, just email me or call me. Include your name, number, pet's name and what kind, how many, dates you're gone, extra services or if you just need walking or boarding.

I can also distribute medications, ointments, special feeding instructions or extra care for elderly pets. My home is welcome to all friendly, happy, healthy pets.

I will call you back as soon as possible, and we can set up a time to meet.
I am very trust worthy and you know I will give the best care to your pet because of all the experience I have.

I have many references as well if needed.

  Elizabeth is doing a great job walking my dog. My dog just loves her! She is always there and is very professional. I would recommend her to anyone!

  Lizzy has taken care of my Cairn Terrier Charlie. She did a great job. With her past experience in pet care, I felt that I could really trust my little guy in her hands. He was happy when I picked him up and exhausted that night (which means she gave him plenty of exercise!!) I endorse Lizzy's pet services to the fullest! She is sweet, kind and trustworthy. Thank you Liz!

  Liz is a great animal lover and has cared for my dog when I am away. I would trust her in a minute and so would my dog who loves her.

  Liz was great with my dog angie. She has a vast knowledge of pet care from school and previous employment at vet clinics. I would highly recommend her and will use again.

  I had Elizabeth clip my dogs nails last week and she was very professional and very easy to get along with. she was very gentle with my dogs and made them feel comfortable. I would recommend her services to anyone that is looking for care for their dogs.
