I will treat your home the the utmost respect as if it were my own, tend to any of the needs your pet may require, and play with them as much as possible!

Besides any special needs, please let me know if they have any physical ailments I should be aware of. I know some breeds can be rather stoic and not show at all when something is difficult for them.

A typical day

As a nanny I am used to talking to my young charges all the time to encourage language development, as such, I will be talking to your pup all day long like he's my little buddy! I love to catch their attention and start up a spontaneous game of tug-o-war with their favorite toy, see if they can catch a ball before it hits the ground when I throw it straight up in the air, or run around trees in the park back and forth playing "catch me if you can!"

Pet care experience

My husband and I live in Lincoln Park and my nanny family is away for January and February, so I am free all day and looking to play! Free on nights and weekends indefinitely, as well. As a professional caregiver, I have decades of experience caring for family pets. I am used to sending frequent photo updates and always make sure the home is left in order with the utmost respect to the owner. I grew up in what the neighbors affectionately called, "the zoo of the neighborhood," with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments, cats, rabbits, snakes, lizards, hamsters, guinea pigs, frogs, ferrets, fresh & saltwater fish, and a variety of birds. Later I honed my animal husbandry skills by working in pet shops where I helped countless people navigate the myriad of obstacles and resources one might encounter when owning a pet. Although I am new to Rover, I have much experience with dog walking, extended stay pet-sitting, administering medicines, anxious pup care, house training, nail clipping, senior care, fish tank maintenance, and cleanup of all kinds. Let me share my love of animals with your family and bring a little more joy into your pet's life while you're away!

Lisa was super accommodating with a last minute house sitting request. She was easy to communicate with and made my anxious dog very happy

Lisa was amazing. She was able to help out last minute and took such great care of nova. She sent lots of photos and made sure Nova got everything she needed!

Lisa was so lovely! One of my cats can be quite slow to warm up to new people, but she seemed totally comfortable with Lisa immediately, which says a lot. I highly recommend!

There are not enough words to say how amazing Lisa is!! We needed someone to watch our pup for a week while we got married and she was fabulous! Our dog is a little anxious and Lisa was more than accommodating for him. She sent us so many updates and pictures, it was a huge relief. She was very respectful of our space and it was so nice to come home to a clean house! We will definitely rebook with Lisa in the future. She is amazing!!!
