Pet care experience

Reliable, loving care for your pet!

I am a loving companion for your pets when you are away from home. I have years of experience watching and caring for pets and homes. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats and other pets my entire life, from young pups and kittens to aged loved ones. I had a farm on the coast of Maine for 25 years caring for my menagerie of animals. Over the years I have house sat/pet sat for friends and clients caring for many different animals in a variety of homes. I have also cared for a sled dog team in Alaska in my youth! I now live at the Cielo Apartments on Beckner Rd and service a wide range of neighborhoods on the central and south side of Santa Fe, La Pradera, Dinosaur Trail, Los Soleras, Rancho Viejo, Swan Park, Las Companas, to name a few. I will consider pet sitting farther than these neighborhoods, contact me with your details. I have the experience to offer a broad range of care, companionship and love to your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to keep to your pets daily routines so they are comfortable and reassured while you are away. I am patient and confident when getting to know a pet, always following their lead. I follow your instructions for your pet’s care and will be watchful for anything that is not right. I am prepared with water, poop bags and basic first aid when we venture out on walks or hikes.

Lisa is great. She inspired trust & exuded calmness the first time we met, and my dog was happy to be with her. I felt totally confident leaving my best friend and my home in her care!

I am very versatile in meeting the needs of your pet. I love to get detailed instructions for caring for your pet so I have a good picture in mind as I’m spending quality time with them. Together we can make your pets experience just what they need, so let me know what I can do to make that happen. I have administered medications, performed first aid for emergency situations, and observed animal behavior to assess their needs. I have years of experience caring for all kinds of animals, one’s with special needs and many dignified seniors.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
