Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a stay at home mom. I have been a vet tech for 5 years, fostered many sick and injured pets, and volunteered at numerous animal shelters. I have been working with dogs and cats for over 30 years. My husband and 11 year old son share our home with 2 dogs ( Chi/Dachshund mix and Lab/Shepard mix), 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. They range in age from 2-11 years old. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover from a young age having grown up with a Chihuahua mix, living to the ripe old age of 19. We always had cats around to add to the mix. I have volunteered at many shelters across the US for 25+ years. Most recently worked at a local veterinary hospital for 5 years until my son was born. During that time I fostered numerous dogs and cats that were sick or injured, then had them adopted when they were well. Consequently, I welcomed a few of them into my family to stay. I have been a petsitter since I was a teenager and just love to be around animals at all times. About my yard I live in a nice older home in mid-town, have a 6ft wall around our backyard, and have 2 grassy areas to play in. For those dogs who like the water, I can offer a pool for those hot Tucson days. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable giving any medication. Having worked in a veterinary hospital, that was part of the job.
Reviews
Lisa was so amazing, i’ll definitely be booking with her next time i’m out of town. My dog seemed to like her a lot, and she was so sweet with him. She was very trustworthy, and very accommodating.
I chose Lisa because I could see her genuine love of animals and because she is a foster mom also. To my surprise she was able to pick up my very timid dog that usually runs under my bed with people she doesn’t know. I highly recommend her.
Lisa was awesome with our dog! We’ve already booked her for our next trip out of town!
She was great with my senior dog. (Sorry he peed on your floor) I appreciated knowing he was in good hands while we were out of town.

Information Lisa M. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences as long as they get along with small children, small dogs, and cats. I'd need to know about any medical issues, behavior issues, quirks, and what makes them happy and comfortable.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks My neighborhood is a great place for walks. A couple minutes away is a path in the desert to a more rural area with dirt roads. If your dog enjoys going to a dog park, I'd be happy to go, especially if there is a favorite park. I enjoy going up to Mt Lemmon and on other adventures, your dog would be welcome with prior permission. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Basically wherever they are comfortable. If they have a bed, just let me know where they usually have it. Normally, my bedroom is the place where most dogs prefer to be. If they are used to being on or in your bed, it would have to be a small dog, my bed just isn't big enough for anything larger. Sorry big dogs. Time I'll spend with your dog I will be able spend many hours with your dog. Except for occasional everyday errands, I will be home most of the time.
