Love, Fun and Exercise for Your Pet
About me: My name is Lisa and petsitting is not a hobby to me; caring for animals is a job that I take very seriously with on-going training. I am licensed #699739 and I am a member of the professional pet sitting organization, Pet Sitters International. I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid through the Red Cross and Pet Sitters International. * I am very experienced with traumatized and anxious dogs, having dealt with trauma in my own rescue dogs and most of my clients’ dogs as well. * I’m also experienced and knowledgeable in diabetic cats (and dogs), understanding care for diabetic pets and administering insulin, oral medications and IVs. I believe ALL animals know when a human genuinely loves and cares for them and they therefore will connect with that person, as that has been my own experience with many animals. I am currently studying for my certification in professional petsitting and certification in caring for elderly and sick animals. In my childhood, I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, gerbils and birds! I have 30 years of experience caring for animals from cats, dogs, fish, gerbils and birds to ferrets, chickens, pigs and other farm animals. Throughout my career I have worked at a range of Silicon Valley tech companies as a Product Manager and received my MBA, but animals have always been my true passion. As a pet mom (and a mom to two humans), I want to reassure you that I will treat your pet like my own family. In addition to the wonderful pets I grew up with, I have raised four dogs and three cats from puppy and kittenhood to their golden years, through good health and illness (I have also raised two children now in college). Today I have two elderly special needs cats who are 20 and 14 (raised since kittens), and a pit bull/boxer mix adult dog who is 9, all raised since babies. I have extensive experience in puppy care, senior care, and special needs and administering medications orally, via shots and via IV injections. My goal is to give you true confidence that your pet is in experienced and trustworthy hands. And to give you peace of mind that your beloved furry family members will be cared for and watched over as you yourself care and watch over them. Caring for your pets is my privilege and honor. Keeping them safe, healthy and happy is my responsibility!

Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety is my top priority and is one of the things I want when looking for a pet sitter. I will follow your instructions as directed and will ask questions if I need clarification instead of ''guessing" what you want. If I am staying over night, I will make sure your home is also safe. Most importantly I will make sure your pet “feels” safe and loved while you are gone. They will be treated as though they are my own!
Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend Lisa enough! She watched my dog for 2 weeks and did daily drop-in visits while I was at work. She made sure he was well taken care of—taking him on walks, feeding him, and always keeping his water full. I came home to a happy, healthy pup every day. She even got him a pup cup! Lisa was reliable, caring, and treated my dog like her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter. 🐾
WOW, Lisa is a rockstar. If I could give her 100 stars I would. We have two large dogs & its always nerve wracking leaving them behind while going off on a vacation. But from the moment I was able to talk to & meet Lisa I just knew she was going to take amazing care of our dogs. She even made time to come over & meet the dogs a few days before we left which was so sweet of her. You can just feel her passion & love for dogs which actually made me excited for them to spend time with her. She sent incredible updates & photos while we were away. She took the dogs on some amazing walks & truly went above & beyond. She also took amazing care of our home & stray cat that was added last minute!! Lisa is amazing inside & out. You are blessed if you & your dogs get to meet her & use her services! 100/10, we will be using her again. Thank you Lisa!!
Lisa is wonderful. I hesitated to leave my senior pets with anyone. Meds and anxiety were involved and visits would be needed 3 x a day. My pets were energized and happy when I returned, and Lisa kept me posted after each visit with photos and concise updates. By the end of my first day away, I started to relax knowing my beloved pets were in caring and capable hands. My pets and I are so glad we met Lisa; she is the best pet caregiver we have ever met. We will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible, trustworthy person to care for their precious pets.
Lisa is amazing! She bonded with Korra with their first meet up and will always give you details when she’s there, update you with pictures and make sure she tires them out before leaving. I highly recommend Lisa if anyone is looking for a sitter!
Lisa was awesome as usual today on her walk with bourbon.
Lisa is awesome! She is great with our dog Bourbon, who can be a handful! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and very patient. She is a great dog walker!

Schedule
Now that my kids are college age, I can follow my heart and passion for animals. Pet care is now my full-time job, so I have plenty of time for the care, exercise, play, and attention your pets need. My schedule is pretty flexible 7 days a week with some exceptions for personal appointments or vacations with my own family and pets. I am available for house sitting, pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks and hikes, bathing, and as a pet uber to take your pet to their vet or grooming visits. I do not book multiple back to back appointments. Cramming as many appointments as possible does not allow a pet sitter to give the undivided attention and time pets actually need.
