As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.

Information Lisa B. would like to know about your pet
To provide the highest level of care, I appreciate as much information as possible about your pet’s temperament, daily routine, and comfort level around people and other animals. Details regarding any special needs, medical considerations, or behavioral preferences are especially helpful and always welcome. Information about your pet’s preferred activities, energy level, and environment also allows me to tailor care to their individual needs. If your pet will be going on walks, it is helpful to know how they behave on leash—such as whether they tend to lead or prefer to heel—so I can ensure safe and comfortable outings. Please also share any dietary instructions, restrictions, or feeding routines that need to be followed. The more insight I have, the better I can maintain consistency and provide attentive, personalized care. I value open communication and encourage you to share any details you feel are important for your pet’s well-being. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and familiar experience for every animal in my care.
A typical day
I enjoy providing a variety of engaging and enriching activities tailored to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs who are active and enjoy outings, I am happy to include walks, outdoor play, and visits to local parks when appropriate, as well as supervised play such as fetch in a safe outdoor space. For pets who prefer a calmer routine, I offer plenty of companionship, relaxation, and quiet time indoors. I am always happy to accommodate specific activity requests to ensure your pet’s routine and preferences are maintained. At my home, dogs have access to a large selection of toys and enrichment items, including tug toys, balls, and interactive play options that encourage both physical activity and mental stimulation. I also use enrichment tools such as lick mats with pet-safe spreads, which help keep dogs engaged and mentally stimulated while providing a calming activity. For dogs who enjoy water play, my own dog loves outdoor hose play, and I am happy to incorporate similar activities when appropriate and approved by the owner. These activities are always supervised and can be followed by a bath if needed. I have access to a variety of pet-safe shampoos and conditioners and can provide bathing services upon request. In addition, I am equipped to support basic grooming needs, including nail trimming and filing, using clippers and a nail grinder when appropriate and approved. My goal is always to ensure pets are not only well cared for, but also mentally stimulated, comfortable, and happy during their time with me. I also prioritize clear and consistent communication with pet owners. I provide regular updates and remain available for ongoing contact, so you can feel confident and informed about how your pet is doing while in my care. I am happy to share photos, notes, and any observations as requested to ensure peace of mind while you are away.

Dedicated Care for Your Beloved Pet
Pet care experience
Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away.

Reviews
If you’re looking for a professional, trustworthy dog-sitter who will treat your dogs as her own and go above and beyond, Lisa is it! We knew our dog would not do well in a commercial kennel while we were away, and wanted someone who would be respectful and mindful of our dog’s special needs. Knowing Lisa for 15 years, I knew that our dog would not only be properly cared for, but would be enjoyed and given attention, play time, and love. Lisa is an excellent and reliable communicator as well, so I never had to wonder how my dog was doing while we were away. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind and a good time for your fur-babies!
