Animal Lover & Dogs’ Best Friend

Pet care experience

Do you know that saying about the most successful careers are the ones where you love what you do so much that you would do it for free? Well that’s me. I absolutely adore dogs! I would care for them for free if I could. But as we all know it is not possible with the cost of living in the Bay Area as high as it is. And at the same time I do not want to break your bank. So I try to make my prices fair and reasonable. Pets make life better. Pets have been a part of my life for the past 20 years. In the past, my family had adopted two dogs from a pet rescue. I have also been caring for dogs of friends, family members, and neighbors for over 10 years. Over the past two years I’ve fostered over 15 different dogs (and even a rabbit) with the SFSPCA and Pets In Need. Some were very young pups (4 weeks old) while others were older or injured/ill dogs that needed to be nursed back to health. I have administered meds when needed, too. You can expect your fur child to have multiple walks (if desired), bath time, brushing fur, brushing teeth, plenty of cuddles, play time, and a safe & loving environment. Plus, I enjoy pampering my furry guests with boiled organic chicken and/or freeze dried dog treats made of only chicken or lamb or beef. And, I've been known to hand-feed some dogs when they are feeling hesitant about eating. I have dropped down from having 5-6 dogs to 2 dogs at a time, with the rare occasion of a 3rd dog. I really enjoy spending quality time with my furry clients and at the same time giving them the company of another furry client.

Lisa was absolutely amazing! She watched over our two dogs for about a week, and we could not have felt more comfortable leaving them in her hands. She was incredibly welcoming and easily adapted to our dogs' needs. Lisa even took one of our dogs on her own walks since our dog can be very particular about going to the bathroom. We truly enjoyed the many pictures and videos she sent during the stay, and we could tell that the dogs were not only taken care of exceptionally well but also had a blast. We would recommend Lisa to anyone, and will definitely use her again for our future trips!

We are very grateful to have Lisa as our dog sitter! We had peace of mind on our travels knowing that our dogs were in amazing hands and well loved with Lisa. She provided a stream of videos and photos of their various walks, cuddles, adventures, and all the attention she gave to them. We're so glad to have found Lisa and look forward to having our pups stay with her again! Highly recommend!

Lisa was great with Enzo. She sent me photos each day and Enzo seemed to be having so much fun I was afraid that he wouldn't want to come home. I'll use Lisa again !

Lisa did an excellent job watching my shy and timid dog! She has a calm and friendly demeanor which helped my dog. I appreciated the daily pictures/videos she sent which helped to ease my mind as this was the first time my dog stayed with a different dog sitter since my previous dog sitter became ill. Will definitely return! Thank you Lisa!

Our day will start out with us enjoying the morning sun together in the backyard while we have breakfast. Then we will go on a long walk or jog to the neighborhood park. There, we can play ball and/or meet the neighborhood dogs. After that we will spend time together playing or just relax at home. However at anytime your puppy/doggy is tired we can then take a nap together on the sofa. I love naps. At the end of the day, we will go on another outing before we settle down on the sofa in the family room and watch TV together.
