Pet care experience
Because Cats Aren’t Just Small Dogs
Most of my experience comes from my own pets; however, I have pet sat for friends and relatives over the years. I love kittens and cats of all ages, but I would say my specialty is dealing with seniors. I adopted my own cat from the TCHS in January of 2010 and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is THE love of my life and my WORLD. Through him, I have learned how to deal with sickness in younger cats and age-related diseases in senior cats. And I don't just deal! I go above and beyond for my beautiful boy and I will do no less for the feline love of your life.

Ratings and reviews
Lisa was just a perfect Sitter couldn’t have asked for anyone better. My cat Kitty I could tell didn’t even miss me at all. It seems my cat enjoyed her company too. Lisa doesn’t just come in do the job and go, she truly enjoys the pet she is sitting. My cat is a one person cat well until Lisa came along, now I see there is someone else who she receptive to. Thank you Lisa for everything
Lisa did a fantastic job with my kitties! She is patient, a great communicator and very caring. Highly recommend!
Letter of Recommendation To Whom It May Concern, I am pleased to recommend Lisa for a small and exotic animal pet sitting position. As a veterinarian with over 20 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to the care of animals and have developed a strong appreciation for the qualities that make an exceptional caregiver. I have known Lisa for many years and have been consistently impressed by her compassion, responsibility, and dedication to animal welfare. I have had the opportunity to observe the excellent care she provides for her own pets, including her cat, rabbit, and Eclectus parrot. She is attentive to their physical and emotional needs, maintains appropriate husbandry and enrichment, and is proactive about their health and well-being. Her commitment to providing outstanding care is evident in the condition, behavior, and happiness of her animals. Lisa is dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys caring for animals. I am confident that she will treat every pet in her care with the same attention, patience, and affection that she gives her own. I recommend her without reservation for any pet sitting position involving small animals, birds, exotic pets, or traditional companion animals. Sincerely, Dr. Jennifer Long, DVM
Lisa has always been a reliable and trustworthy individual. She is exceptionally attentive to her pets, and her care reflects a deep understanding of their needs. I have volunteered with a rabbit rescue for almost nine years, and during that time Lisa has both adopted rabbits from us and fostered for our organization. Rabbits are fragile animals that require close observation and prompt attention, and Lisa is consistently mindful and vigilant in providing exactly that. I trust her wholeheartedly with any of my rabbits, and her dedication has always given me complete peace of mind.
I was so nervous leaving my cat for the first time, but Lisa put my mind at ease immediately. She is incredibly professional, followed all of our feeding instructions, and sent daily updates with the cutest photos. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a tidy house. I will absolutely book with her again!
Lisa is the absolute best! She is kind, nurturing, professional, and dependable. Her experience with exotic pets started at a very young age, and her expertise is apparent. Having feather and fur babies herself, she is highly qualified to deal with all the unexpected situations that can sometimes arise. It doesn’t get any better than her when searching for someone you can count on and trust to care for your exotic babies.

Schedule
I work from home most days, so am available to take care of your feline or exotic companion most mornings, afternoons, and/or evenings. My schedule is subject to change, but I can plan ahead as needed with a week's notice. I do workout from 9-10:30 am daily so am not available for that short period of time (I can arrive before or after).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your cat/rabbit/bird/small pet as you wish and as good as I do my very own. I will do my best to duplicate your methods and always stick to your preferred schedule. I recognize how important this is to cats, especially seniors! I am respectful of personal space and privacy and will only enter areas of your home that you instruct me to enter.
Pets
A typical day
If your cat likes to be stimulated, I will gladly play cat and mouse! If they prefer to be pet and loved on, then I will give them all the headbutts, chin scratches, and belly rubs they want! I will follow their lead and your direction so that they (and you) will feel comfortable while you are away. There is no replacement for mommy or daddy, but I will do my best!
