Elizabeth – Principal

As a proud graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with a B.A. in Sociology, Elizabeth started her professional career with a Fortune 500 Company for 7 years. After realizing that climbing the corporate ladder leaves her unfulfilled, she decided to step away from said setting to pursue a completely different career. In 2004, Elizabeth decided to take a risk by leaving the comforts, benefits, and job security that her company offered, to pursue a trade that compliments her tireless work ethic and her love of animals by becoming a dog walker. After many years of walking in the rain, snow, and blistering New England heat 365 days a year, she complimented her work ethic with her continued passion to service her clients to ensure the MonumenTails brand remain a positive fixture in the community. She has since enhanced the traditional “Dog Walking” method to better adapt to the “On-Demand” needs for working professionals today for better customer experience. Need last minute walk?

Our Testimonials

Our biggest clients. Here’s a list of some of our Customers testimonials.

“We received our bundle of Puggle joy around Thanksgiving 2011. He’s now one year old and a wonderful dog – with so much due to Elizabeth….. I can’t really say enough about Monumentails professionalism, humanity and wisdom about how to raise a dog well. Elizabeth insisted on coming to meet Royalston as soon as he’d arrived – despite the fact that she had just broken her leg. She’s always given us great advice, never ever missed a walk and kept us training him and developing his personality….advised us when to move him to longer walks and when the big moment came, when he should be left to have free run of the house.So great job guys – and thankyou.”
– Will, Bre, and Royalston
“We had several dog walkers before finding Elizabeth at Monumentails. Never have we had someone love our dog as much, and based our dog’s response to seeing her each day, the feeling is definitely mutual!”
– Ernie, Wendy and Abbey
“Elizabeth and her walkers have been nothing but wonderful to my little Frenchie Phoebe. They are all incredibly flexible to last minute changes, reliable, and friendly. I love the little notes that are left for me about who Phoebe got to walk with and what they did while they were out. I have had Zel & Ryan walk Phoebe and all have been wonderful ? I would give 5 more stars if possible!”
– Whitney and Phoebe
“I wish I could give 10 stars to Monumentails. Elizabeth and her staff are amazing! I had a pit bull for 13 years and as she aged, Elizabeth worked with me to provide personalized care for her. I now have another shelter dog who has had issues with anxiety, aggression, etc and with the help of Monumentails, she is doing great. She really cares about every animal as if they were her own. She is also super accommodating and is very responsive. I wouldn’t let my dog walk with anyone else (and I don’t think she would want to anyways :)”
-Sarah & Diva
“Pretty simple here. If you’re looking for a reliable person to take care of your pet, Elizabeth is definitely the one. We called her 1 day before a long holiday weekend to see if she could watch our big, old, lovable golden retriever “Oscar”. We were absolutely in a bind. It’s not easy to find people who are willing to look after larger dogs, but Elizabeth stepped right in and took great care of him. The price is as good as you can expect. If you’re looking for help in the Charlestown area, this is definitely the company to go with.”
– Nick and Oscar
“I am very thankful to have Elizabeth caring for and walking my 4 legged child. They take the time to understand each dog they walk! Not only is Elizabeth great with dogs but she has saved more than her share of stray cats and I know my own cats enjoy her daily visit. My Zoia is always happy to have her daily walk with her friends and I am so happy that Elizabeth and her team provide an enjoyable, safe, and worry free for me, outing. Oh, and the walk notes they leave are priceless! You guys are the best!”
– Linda and Zoia
“We love MonumenTails! We’ve been with Elizabeth for years! She and her staff are reliable, flexible and does a great job of informing us about our pooch’s day. Most importantly, Sophie always seem to have had a great day when we get home from work.”
-Suzanne, Peter, and Sophie
“I can’t explain what a relief it was to find Elizabeth. Elizabeth has been so helpful, reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable about dogs. It was comforting heading to work and leaving an 11 week old puppy knowing that Elizabeth was there to take care of her. She is well versed on which dog personalities to walk together, responsible, and has often helped out last minute in a jam when needed. She cares for the dogs that are her clients and understands all different kinds of animal behavior. Sophie enjoys her overnights with Elizabeth. Sophie adores her…”
– Katherine and Sophie
“Elizabeth is a combination of the Dog Whisperer and the ‘Dog Nanny’. The highlight of Henry’s day is hearing that key in the door and seeing Elizabeth, knowing he’s going for a walk with his ‘pals’.”
– Margaret and Henry
“Elizabeth has been a dream resource for us and our dog Oscar loves her. An Olde English Bulldogge puppy, Oscar is a temperamental walker and Elizabeth and her team are patient and efficient when caring for him. We use Monunmentails for walking and boarding services. Elizabeth is reliable, flexible and professional. She is willing to provide services at last minute notice which has come in handy on many occasions for us. I highly recommend, Elizabeth and her team. She offers a peace of mind that we haven’t been able to find with other services/providers.”
-Bridget, Kyle and Oscar
If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans and can love you more than you love yourself.
