Trusting & adventurous animal lover

Pet care experience

I had a little pet sitting business in my 20s named Pampered Pets where I watched dogs and cats. I managed Harvest Hills Animal Shelter in Maine for two years and I had a pony, 4 rabbits, 2 pigs, 5 turkeys, 4 dogs and 2 sets of brother cats at my home in Maine from 1994 through 2002. I have lived in Alaska for the past 21 years now, and I have only had dogs and cats. I traveled throughout Europe petsitting in Germany, Spain, France and England for various homes with dogs and cats. It was amazing! It's fun for them and me and their owners appreciate it! I used another type of service for pet/housesitting and I have attached their reviews of me in my photos section here so I would not have to ask them again. I also have included references of those I know in Alaska. I was in Maine for the past 2 years living on a friend’s farm where I took care of their horses, donkey, chickens, bunny, dogs, cats and birds. I sat for many other animals through Rover there as well. I am now back in Palmer and I live in my winterized RV fulltime. I am free to fit in any house/pet sits, drop ins or walks after 5pm weekdays and weekends any time. Since my home is mobile, I can go to many areas to run the dog(s). I have walked many a trail on the Crevasse Moraine system running into the trails behind Mat-Su college.

Lisa was the ultimate best! If you want a responsible person to house sit and love on your pets, I highly recommend. She left our house sparkling and our dogs loved her. We hope we can get her back when we travel in the future.

Lisa was great! Really helped out while we were traveling to let our dogs out of the kennel for a little bit. Would definitely recommend her, our puppies were super happy! ??

I messed up the booking on line and Lisa called me to check in and was flexible and understanding with the dog walk. During this first walk she gave updates on how our dog did and she got to know his personality quickly. LISA IS GREAT!

Lisa is amazing- from the minute we met up we knew she was completely comfortable caring for our dogs (each of which are rescues who we are still working with on socializing). Within minutes they were all happy, tails wagging! She is so sweet and friendly and put us at ease while we asked her to watch them at my daughters wedding ceremony. When they got tired of all the celebrations she took them to my house and watched them sending text updates with photos. Thanks again Lisa for really helping us make the day work out so well for everyone! Five stars aren’t enough- you’re the Milky Way! <3

Safety, trust & environment

If you require a leash then that is what I honor. If your dog is able to run free on commands then I will find trails to run him/her

Information Lisa G. would like to know about your pet

I have zero breed preferences. I love them all. I would like to know if a dog is nervous or anxious or aggressive toward other dogs, people, little kids, etc. so I can make sure they don’t have to encounter them if possible.

A typical day

I walk in areas mostly without other dogs on the river or on trails so the dog(s) can enjoy themselves free without a leash and no worry of running off or pulling on a leash to get somewhere else. If a dog needs a leash, I will accommodate and maybe lengthen it a bit so they are still having fun.
