Meet the Rising Sun Dog Walk Team

Hi my name is Lizzy! I am a nature and animal lover at heart. Growing up I loved watching nature shows, and have a fascination with wildlife. I have a degree in communication, and a teaching certification in science. Aside from tutoring students, I am also a volunteer at a local animal shelter and have professional experience as a kennel technician. I love caring for creatures of all shapes and sizes, and I am excited to be a part of Rebecca's team at Rising Sun!

Hi! My name is Liz, and I have always had dogs while growing up. Currently, I have a 10-year-old miniature dachshund, and he is the apple of my eye. I have always loved animals, and part of what I studied in college was zoology. When I’m not dog walking, I enjoy volunteering at a local dog rescue and spending time with my kids. I love being a part of the Rising Sun team, and I can’t wait to help take care of your pets!

Everyone has their own idea of what is great for them. For me, working with a great team and spending my days with animals is a perfect day and working as a professional dog walker since 2022 has given me exactly that.
I was brought up with animals but the one that lead me in this direction was my rescue dog Taz. He was so scared and reactive when I met him and soon became my best friend and we created a bond that changed my life and made me want to understand relationships other people have with their animals. My favorite times with Taz were going for short hikes and watching him, my Chihuahua, play with my parent’s German Shepard. Taz was always the boss!
Currently I have two ferrets, Freddie and Ollie and a frog, Kahlua that provide love and laughs. Spending time with your fur families fills me with love as well!

Hi, I’m Caitlin! Growing up with animals of all shapes and sizes, it was the Newfoundland’s my family had that sparked the love I hold deep for dogs. Through learning the care and responsibility it takes to be a dog owner at such a young age, along with growing up around all kinds of dogs, I found that my appreciation for these animals has only grown. I have always wanted to work with animals and found the perfect place for me at Rising Sun. The found family we have here combined with our furry friends makes this the most enjoyable place to work. I can’t wait to meet your companion and give all them all the love and care I am capable of. 

Hi! My name is Michelle. Ask me what I want to be when I grow up. The answer has always involved animals and started as "An Olympic cross-country equestrian". From there it became "a veterinarian". Life had different plans for me however and professionally lead me into a great career in Retail for the last 30 years. My personal life has always involved animals and that dream of working more with animals has come true! If you are looking for me, I will be outside with my dogs, walking in the woods, on the beach or just enjoying the weather in the yard.  As a prior along time customer I am thrilled to now be a part the Rising Sun Dog Walk Team.
