Safety, trust & environment

I have a partially fenced yard in a quiet and walkable neighborhood. After a detailed conversation about your fur baby's likes and dislikes, I will meet their needs and yours carefully and completely.

Information Lisa G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what makes your pet comfortable and secure and what makes them feel uneasy. Do they have food preferences, allergies, and daily routines? Do they have a favorite activity that will win them over? Overall, I want your furry friend to trust me and enjoy their time with me.

A typical day

We will walk in my quiet neighborhood, play in the backyard, and cuddle. I will integrate toy play, sweet talk, and any fun activities your pet enjoys. Of course, there will be rest time too.

Pet care experience

Hello pet family! I’m Lisa, a retired high school teacher, thrilled to start my second career as your pet's caretaker and companion. Although I loved teaching English, I am poised and primed for a new adventure. I have spent my entire life with pets from turtles and hamsters to cats and dogs. I’ve even cared for goats, horses, and ducks. I’d love to share my natural talent as a caretaker to nurture your pet. I’ve been looking forward to spending my days with dogs and cats for many years; I can't wait to get started with your furry friend!
