Gibson's Guest House
Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Lisa. Over the past 20 years, I helped raise six Guide dogs for Guide Dogs For The Blind. Two of my dogs have gone on to Guide people in the United States. So as you can tell I am a dog lover! I have been dog sitting for over 7 years and now and really enjoy all the people and pups I meet. I am a mother to two girls ages 10 and 12. We have a 4 year old Irish Setter/Golden Retriever named Thor and a 1.5 year old of the same breed named Rheia. Thor is an amazing pup. He is very loyal, loving and smart. He is well trained and accepting of all the dogs that we watch and he's doing a great job. Rheia is very shy but loves to play. It can just take some time to get her to relax around other dogs or people. We live off Auburn-Black Diamond road in a nice quiet neighborhood. Our house sits on a third of an acre and offers lots of room for your pets to run around in and explore. We are also next to a greenbelt. The safety of your pup is always our first priority, therefore, we take certain precautions such as baby gates to restrict access to the front door to prevent escapes and require meet and greets with every pup to ensure they will be happy at Gibson's Guest House. We do not kennel the dogs we watch unless the owner requests it. We want them to feel as comfortable as they would if they were at home. Also, our yard is fully fenced and secure. We will often go for walks around the neighborhood and take the dogs that are staying with us along. On particularly nice days we take our girls and the dogs to the parks in the area. We have a minivan so we can easily put several dogs in the car. Gibson's Guest House was named after our dog Gibson who passed away from cancer on January 16th, 2019. He was 9 years old and our dog since October 2012. He was our oldest daughter's best friend and the center of our family. We have so many great memories of him and we will be forever grateful of the time we had with him. We can offer a loving home to your dog while you are away. We take our dog everywhere and we will treat your dog the same way. Your dog will never be alone and they will be treated like part of our family. We look forward to meeting you and your pup! ***Pick up/Drop off times are 8am-9pm weekdays, 10am-9pm weekends
Reviews
This is the only family on earth we are comfortable leaving our fur babies with.
Lisa and Eric are lifesavers. I love how much they love our silly dog.
Lisa and her family is the best!
Lisa is seriously the best! Not only has does she treat our pups like they are her own but she also is so flexible. We've had a few times where one of our pups hurt their paw and couldn't go for a walk. She was willing to just hang out and let the pups play while keeping a close eye on them. Couldn't ask for a better person to help us with our pups!
About Lisa H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We only watch 1 dog at a time or 2 if they are from the same family. This way, when our pup owners do a meet and greet with us, they know that the only dogs that their fur babies will be with will be our own. Safety is our primary concern. We have a large fenced yard. It is periodically inspected for any missing boards or possible escape routes. The dogs we care for will have access to the entire house and we will treat them the same as we treat our dogs.

Information Lisa H. would like to know about your pet
I have no specific preferences. We meet every dog before we watch them to make sure everybody gets along and the owner is comfortable. I consider this an essential part of dog sitting. To all of our valued past clients, while we are still dog sitting, we are doing so on a limited basis. Before booking a stay, please message us first to see if we are available. We appreciate you all!
A typical day
We often take walks around our neighborhood and occasionally go on the trails and to the parks in our area. We are also frequent visitors of the nearby dog parks. Your dog will sleep wherever they or you feel comfortable. We want your dog to feel at home when they stay with us. We do not leave your pups for long periods of time. We treat them very special because we know they are special to you. I work from home mostly and my husband works a few miles away in Black Diamond so your pups are rarely alone.
