Pet Sitting by Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I am a clinic assistant for the Lawrence Humane Society and am working toward a veterinary nursing degree. I also have two years of in-home pet sitting experience. As a pet sitter for Kitty Meow Meow, I have cared for dogs, cats and rabbits - some with special needs. I have fostered five wonderful dogs through Senior Dog Rescue of Oregon and my own senior cats. In recent years, I’ve learned to give oral medications, subcutaneous injections, ear gels, and I continue to learn. Additionally, I have two years of experience as an Advanced Feline Friend, socializing shy and fearful cats at the Dane County Humane Society. I work full time at the Lawrence Humane Society. I am available to visit homes and care for pets any time of day on weekends. I recommend at least two visits per day so that I can check in to keep your pets happy and healthy. I like to take dogs for potty break walks around the neighborhood but I can take them to a nearby park on request. I like to spend time playing or snuggling with cats and dogs depending on their personalities. I also make sure that all pets are fed, have clean water dishes, get any medications they need, and that pet areas are tidy. I am good at following instructions and am happy to follow any routines you have in place. There may be an additional charge if these routines add time to the visit.

Lisa's calm, gentle and quiet manner helps all animals feel at ease, even the most shy and nervous of kiddos :) She lovingly and conscientiously tends to all animal care duties, from cuddles and playtime, to the less glamorous tasks, like yard pick up or accident clean up. She also is keenly aware of the little niceties and extras that put pet parents' minds at ease, such as sending adorable photographs of pets at play, or remembering to pull out a trash bin on trash night :) Lisa spends a lot of time interacting with the pets in her care, making sure they get lots of love and attention :) She is polite, respectful, and thorough. She is also knowledgeable, with lots of hands-on volunteer experience with animals through organizations like Senior Dog Rescue, Heartland Humane Society, and Chintinimi Wildlife Rescue. Additionally, she is completing her education and training as a vet tech, equipping her with skills and knowledge that are invaluable when caring for pets. She has cared for and medicated elderly and ailing animals with sensitivity, compassion, and ease. She has handled challenging situations, like hard-to-medicate cats, with professionalism and competence. She pays attention to details, focusing on the behaviour and overall well-being of a pet, mindful of any concerning or unexpected changes. This provides so much reassurance for a pet owner. It's so important to know your pet is in good hands when away from home, and Lisa goes above and beyond to ensure that will be so :) If you're looking for a loving, warm, soft-spoken, careful, gentle, diligent, responsible, experienced, educated, and deeply caring person to care for your pet family when you are away, Lisa is all of that and more :)

Let me know if your dog has any special needs such as medicine or any behaviors that I should watch for and how you prefer to work on them. I am comfortable with all breeds and a variety of temperaments.

A typical day

I would love for you to let me know your dogs favorite place to walk or toys to play with. I'm happy to work with all kinds of dogs. If your dog is a couch potato, we can do a quick potty break and then snuggle for a while. If they are high energy, then we'll do a long walk and some play time.
