Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, patient caregiver
I have cared for my own and others’ pets for over 35 years—large and small dogs, different kinds of cats, birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, even fish. I have the most experience with dogs – I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a young girl. Most recently I volunteered with and fostered dogs (& one kitten) for Detroit Dog Rescue for 8 years, which only stopped because I moved away. I have fostered and trained puppies, young to mid-age rescues, and also adjusted as my dog became a senior. I can walk your dog, have play time in a yard or a park, just have some chill time, and I can incorporate some enrichment to get them thinking and busy if you would like. I am also an expert at administering medicine with dogs and don’t mind doing this. I am also trained in Fear Free® pet care which focuses on behavior and body language with strategies to lower stress and anxiety in pets. I have vast experience with fearful and reactive dogs, owning one and fostering a few myself. My approach is patient and never pushy, letting the pet choose how they would like to interact, which could be none at all for some. I used Rover for many, many years for my pittie girl Penelope and understand the importance of clear communication, doing what the client wants, being on time, etc. I am excited to meet your pet and take care of them the way you would like.

Ratings and reviews
Not only did Lisa help me in a pinch last minute but she was thorough and reliable from the start. Leaving your pup is always stressful, but Lisa made it as stress free as it could possibly be! I cannot recommend her enough!
Lisa has always went above and beyond for her pets. Even pets with a lot of medical issues. She even volunteers with animals in her spare time just to make the animals life a little better! I highly recommend Lisa!
Lisa is an amazing and perfect person to be taking care of dogs. In Detroit, she would always take in and foster rescues providing them a healthy and safe environment until they were adopted or taken back to the shelter. She absolutely loves every single dog she comes by even if they may provide a challenge but it doesn’t stop her. She takes routine and planning seriously but does it with enjoyment. Getting to take care of dogs of all sorts is an opportunity she loves taking. The dogs that I have met that she has taken care of are well-trained by her and seem to absolutely love being in her home.

Schedule
I am currently working part-time at a dive shop and have a bit of free time until we get busier. If I work, it can be any day of the week with weekends more busy than during the week. I can have a morning or afternoon shift or both. Mornings are 7am until noon and afternoons are 1115 to close to 4pm. I can travel directly to work to and from your home in the morning and afternoon. I can do drop-ins, longer stays, or overnights.
