About Lisa F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very at ease with most pets and they usually like me right away. It’s a little different with cats & some dogs sometimes, who may have a wait & see stance. I am very patient in that instance and allow them to check me out in their way & in their time. I build trust with patience, kindness & love, respecting the animal’s boundaries.
Information Lisa F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any pet behaviors that can affect my care of them, for example: hiding places if nervous, medical/emotional needs, behaviors related to separation anxiety, aggressive behaviors.
A typical day
I would enter your home gingerly and allow your pets to approach me. Then I’d spend some time petting them and vocalizing in a positive way. Allow them outside (dogs) then feed them. For dogs we may go for a walk. After they’ve had time for their meal to settle, I’d offer to play with their favorite toys. Then I’d sit and let them come to get more pets and snuggles if they like that. Wrap up a visit with a treat, if allowed, for doing such an amazing job!! If house sitting with pets: wash, rinse, repeat!

Pet care experience
I am a mature, flexible retired RN who loves all animals. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and non-traditional pets. I have a penchant for setting the pets and the pet parents at ease! I’m happy to keep your pet(s) company so they are not lonely while you are away! I perform the usual services: take the dogs out, clean the kitty litter daily, feed & provide fresh water on their schedule, keep them safe and give them treats, if allowed. There’s time for snuggles, playtime & exercise. I will go above & beyond to meet your needs.for pet care. I have experience with senior & young pets. I can accommodate special diets, medications and special needs. I have experience with a blind senior dog and many rescue dogs and cats with emotional, as well as physical needs. I am attuned and equipped to handle medical problems that may arise and would contact you immediately in an emergency. I can perform first aid on mammals if needed. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on your preference. For drop-ins I can come M-F mornings, late afternoons and anytime on weekends. I’m happy to do a meet & greet before you leave to assure you are comfortable. I look forward to working with you and your awesome pets!!

Reviews
Well done with no concerns. Pets were well taken care of
Lisa did an outstanding job. We have already booked her again. Communication was excellent before and during our trip. Our dogs looked content in photos and not stressed upon our return. She followed their schedule from the many pages of notes. Coming home to a clean house was a welcome bonus. Thank You!!!
What a wonderful experience! We have never had anyone, besides family keep our pups, so we were worried. But we met Lisa and knew she was perfect. She was calm and loving and our two Labs loved her. We would definitely use Lisa again.
Lisa was absolutely great with our lab Woody and was even able to make friends with our unsociable cat Yeti. Everything went great and the peace of mind was there knowing that they were being well taken care of.
