Why I love dog sitting I have been an animal over as far back as I can remember. I have many references upon request. I formed a non profit animal rescue. endingthesadness.org and knew that animals were going to be in my career. I also have been a shelter manager, animal control in addition to forming endingthesadness.org

Lisa is an animal lover and an animal whisperer. She has a long history working with animals, caring for them and protecting them. She knows how to communicate with animals in a way that I've never known. Lisa has helped me with my little pack (2 cats and 2 dogs), and after explaining to me what I need to focus on with each of them, they all get along now 💓. There is no one else like her and what she offers. Her heart shines big working with animals, and her care and compassion radiates through all of her work.

Exceptional service, quality and compassionate care for my cats, dog, and chickens. Experienced and punctual for my pets timelines and schedules. Will use again and again and I definitely recommend if you want ease of mind, your pets will be loved and cared for as if you were there.

After working with Lisa for several years in the animal rescue that she founded, I can say without hesitation she is one of the most loving, caring and kind human beings I am privileged to know.

Lisa is one of the most giving people I've ever met - to animals and people alike. She took a dream of starting an animal rescue and made it happen and since then, has touched literally thousands of animal's and family's lives. When she decided to leave NJ and the rescue behind, I felt like her dream should not die. She has entrusted me with her namesake and the rescue that she's worked so hard to establish. It's been more than a year now and I still mention her at least once a week to someone. She's made an everlasting impression on me and been an outstanding mentor.

About this sitter: I will come to your home to walk, hike and take care of your animals while you are away. I am experienced in giving medication and injections if needed. I can also run errands, get mail and perform house hold duties to make you coming home much easier while you are away. I charge 30.00 a trip and can customize each trip towards your needs. I can also schedule day hikes at many local surrounding vacations, take them for grooming appointment etc.

I love to know your dogs schedule, their personality and what will keep them as happy as they are when they are home with you! I like the dogs to have a doggy fun vacation when they stay with us or when I pet sit in your home!
