Lisa M. - Experienced animal lover available!

I am a huge animal lover currently working at the St. Louis zoo. I am looking for some work on the side doing what I do best: giving the best possible care to your pets! I have a bachelors degree in zoology and I have experience working with dogs and many other animals in veterinary hospitals, boarding facilities and even zoos and aquariums. Whether it's daily walks or petsitting while you are on vacation I will care for your dog the same way you do, if not better. I also have an animal training background and would be happy to assist with all training needs. Available to care for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities as well as any other pet you may have.

I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! At 14 years old after years and years of begging and pleading my parents finally agreed to get a dog. Unfortunately she is back home in New York with my parents as they would not let me take her to St. Louis. I miss her very much and would love to spend some doggie time with your pooch. My very first job was over two years at a boarding/grooming/training facility where I worked with all breeds of dogs caring for as many as 100 at a time. Through college I continued working with dogs at animal hospitals. I now have a career working with marine mammals but dogs still hold a very special place in my heart and I would love to continue working with them.

I would love to meet you and your dog in person. I want to know how you care for your best friend so I can provide that same care. I'll care for any breed, any size, any age, any personality. If your dog has any "non-dog" friends, I'll take care of them too!

I have a reliable car and am willing to provide on-call care.

I am willing to administer medications. Pills, drops, ointments, even injections, I can do it all!

Whatever needs to be done, just let me know ans I will make sure it is taken care of.

I'll do my best to work with your schedule and give your dog as much time of my time as you want.
