Lizette was born and raised in Houston, TX. Growing up, she always gravitated towards animals of all kinds, and would spend a lot of time watching wildlife documentaries. When she turned 6, she was gifted with her first fur baby who stayed with her for 18 years. From that experience, she became enamored with dogs and enjoyed every bit of the duties that come along with caring for them.
Prior to joining the SK9 team, Lizette gained experience working with animals through her job at a local veterinary office, assisting the vet techs with handling dogs for nail trims and injections, cleaning dog kennels, and tending to their basic needs. Then, she started working as a dog sitter as a side job, which allowed her to care for family and community dogs. She always knew she eventually wanted to pursue a full-time career that involved dogs/animals, which led her to this meaningful career that’s near and dear to her heart. Helping her community by helping dogs be the best they can be for themselves and their family is the least she can do for all they give to us.
When she’s not training, Lizette enjoys hobbies like exploring new places to walk with her dogs Lucy and Koda, drawing and painting. She constantly strives to continue to learn and grow as a trainer, because in this life there are always opportunities to improve.
