Pet care experience
I am working from home with my playful terrier mix, Roscoe. I have been a Rover sitter since 2016 and love welcoming dogs into my home. My home is warm and pet-friendly with a spacious securely-fenced yard for your dog to enjoy. My yard backs to a walking trail and park. I have fostered approximately 25 dogs rescued from puppy mills and I am experienced in caring for dogs with special needs (seizure disorders, hearing and vision loss, diabetes, etc.). I have a sweet and friendly young terrier mix named Roscoe. He loves to play with other dogs. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel loved when you are away. I promise to send you photos and give your dog loads of love and attention. I will care for your dogs as if they were my own. I prefer to watch only 1 or 2 dogs at a time. I work from home and my dog would love a buddy to play with. I will make sure that your dog gets walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention. I am available to host dogs who are good natured and potty trained. For the safety of all, I can't accept dogs with food aggression, leash aggression, or those with diarrhea or other contagious diseases. I especially enjoy caring for older pets. Come by for a meet and greet! P.S. My overnight rate is for 24 hours of care. A Saturday morning drop off and Sunday evening pickup would be one overnight plus one day of boarding. Thank you!
Reviews
Lisa was so great to work with my diabetic dog and help him adjust to being in her home. I appreciated her updates and pictures, and I felt very comfortable that she would take take great care of Oliver. Her dog Roscoe is a great host as well!
Lisa was very friendly. She sent updates regularly and I appreciated it. The only issue I had was her taking the initiative to trim one of my pups nails. She cut Luna's nails which was not required or requested. Luna is an adult Chihuahua and a NMDR, but also more tolerant of human touch from strangers. Gus, my other pup, is a mini Australian Shepherd, and probably wouldn't allow her to touch his paws to trim but she had her thoughts about his grooming on his back left side which is sensitive due to his abuse as a puppy from a puppy mill. I paid to keep them fed, rested, loved and protected. I didn't ask for a trim or groom of them while in her care. Lisa, I believe is a good and caring person. I don't doubt that she'll take care of your furry family, I'm just sharing my thoughts and our story.
Lisa was great! Our dogs had fun at her house, and we knew they were in good hands. We will definitely book future visits with Lisa. Thank you!!
I can't say enough about Lisa and her son. They were very welcoming to my baby, Coco, and sent pictures and updates throughout her stay. They are such a kind and caring family, it would be a joy to bring her back to stay whenever we are out of town. Thank you!!!

Home
Information Lisa J. would like to know about your pet
In most instances, I would like to meet your dog before we agree to a stay so that we can interact and all agree that we are a good fit. It is helpful if you send your dog's bed and/or favorite toys so that they have something from home while you are away.
A typical day
There are lots of walking paths and grassy areas in my neighborhood. We can also play fetch in my large fenced backyard. I know that dogs need exercise and variety to prevent boredom.

I am an active person and love dogs. I take brief breaks throughout my work day to walk outdoors and play with my dog. My dog is very social and loves to walk outdoors and play with other dogs.
