Availability

I currently work full time 9-5. My husband works from home all week and my in laws come over to help babysit my sons. So there is always someone home with the dogs. I have a five years old tripawd name Lani who is a sweet and rambunctious love bug. Lani always loves new friends and a fun day at the park. I also have 15 years old one eyed shitzu name Pi who naps all day long but perks up for walks anytime of the day. So your fur baby will have plenty of fun and outdoor time and plenty of cuddles on the couch.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back yard and have two sweet dogs to keep your baby company. I will always keep your dog on a leash when outside unless we are in a fenced in place. I always feed dogs separately in case of food aggression and I never leave high value treats or toys out unless supervised to prevent any fights.

Information Lisa C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has special needs or dietary restrictions. I am happy to accommodate. I also have experience with basic obedience training so if your dog is in training, I am happy to continue what you're working on. Because I have a four years old toddler and a nine month old baby, I have a zero tolerance policy for any pet with aggressive or guarding tendencies.

A typical day

I have a five years old tripawd who is pretty high energy. She is gentle with puppies and a ball of fun with other high energy dogs. I usually take my dog out for a 2-3 mile walk in the morning to the park near our house and then either an other walk in the evening or playtime in our large fenced in yard. We play alot of fetch and explore new smells. So if your baby is with us they will definitely have lots of fun. My dogs are big cuddlers and are happy to share the couch and bed. When inside they enjoy napping and cuddling by the window in the sunlight.

Pets

I’ll love them like you love them!!

Pet care experience

I've always loved animals as early as I could remember. I grew up in Texas where I got to raise my own chickens, ducks, homing pigeons, bunnies, turtles, and puppies. Working with animals, learning to understand their needs, and watching them thrive gives me lots of joy and fulfillment. I've done an apprenticeship at Chicago Canine Company, learning to do obedience training and behavioral shaping. I currently work in the surgery department at Bluepearl Specialty and Emergency Animal Hospital but started out in ER and the cardiology department . So I have plenty of experience dealing with emergencies or just an upset tummy and can help monitor pets with chronic conditions or special needs.

Lisa and family are our dog’s favorite family away from home. She gets so excited when she gets there. It is so easy for us to leave her knowing that she love it there and will be well cared for.

Lisa and her family were incredible boarding Jofa. The updates were much appreciated and I could tell Jofa was getting as much love as he wanted from their entire family. It absolutely felt like he was joining a home and family for a short while, not a sterile boarding facility in the least. I 110% trust Lisa and will absolutely be using them in the future!
