Elizabeth D. Pet Care Provider in Broad Brook, CT 06016

Hi there! My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Deshaies and I am an animal care provider/lifelong animal lover residing in Broad Brook, Connecticut. I am a 24-year-old UConn student and a dog mom to one, adorable little Shih Tzu, named Winston.

My partner and I adopted Winston in December 2018, when he was an 8-week old puppy. We began dog training when Winston was 12 weeks old and have completed several doggy training courses at Tails-U-Win in Manchester, CT. He is a happy and loving dog. He is good with other dogs, cats, and children. He loves to play, and go on long walks.

Before adopting Winston, I grew up with my family dog Sheba. My family rescued Sheba from the Dakin Animal Shelter of Springfield, MA in 2013. She is a Cocker Spaniel/Dachshund mix and was about 11 months old when we adopted her. I completed training courses with Sheba at Dakin Animal Shelter till she was 3 years old. . Including both my dogs, I have 3 years of dog training under my belt.

I also handle my pup’s day-to-day grooming needs including bathing, hair brushing, hair trimming, de-matting, nail trimming, and ear and eye cleaning. While I do not offer grooming services, I do perform a wellness check on animals that I provide services to. I like to ensure the animals I care for are well taken care of. This also allows for dialogue with pet owners. I require the following information from pet owners before I provide services:

Proof of up-to-date vaccinations for Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Leptospirosis, Bordatella (Kennel Cough), and Canone Influenza.
List of current medications
History of any dog training (preferred not required). I will ask about your pet’s temperament. Do they get along with other dogs? Other animals? Kids? Is there anything I need to know about your pet’s behavior?
Any other health concerns including but not limited to, illness, diet, physical impairment, etc.

When contacted, I will ask that we set up a consultation appointment. During a consultation, I will ask for the information listed above. This will also give me a chance to meet you and your animal, make sure we are compatible, and discuss what pet care needs you are looking for.

In addition to my own animals, I regularly puppy-sit for family and friends, and am happy to provide references upon request.

Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in services. Thanks, and I look forward to speaking with you!
