Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my own home or at the client's home, I prioritize the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals entrusted to me. Here's how I approach each scenario: **Caring for Pets in My Home:** 1. **Safe Environment:** I ensure my home is pet-friendly and free of any hazards that could pose a risk to the animals. This includes securely gating off areas, removing toxic plants or substances, and keeping small objects out of reach. 2. **Comfortable Accommodations:** I provide a cozy and welcoming space for pets to relax, including designated sleeping areas with comfortable bedding and access to water and food. 3. **Regular Exercise and Play:** Pets staying in my home receive plenty of exercise and playtime, whether it's indoors with toys and games or outdoors in a secure and supervised area. 4. **Routine and Structure:** I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and routine to help pets feel comfortable and settled during their stay. This includes regular bathroom breaks and meal times. 5. **Attention and Affection:** Each pet receives individual attention, love, and affection to ensure they feel cared for and secure in their temporary home away from home. **Caring for Pets in the Client's Home:** 1. **Respect for the Home:** I treat the client's home with the utmost respect, adhering to any house rules and maintaining cleanliness and tidiness throughout my stay. 2. **Following Instructions:** I carefully follow the pet owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and any other specific care needs for their pets. 3. **Security and Safety:** I take measures to ensure the security of the home, such as locking doors and windows, setting alarms if provided, and maintaining a presence to deter any potential intruders. 4. **Communication:** I maintain open and timely communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed and reassured that their pets are in good hands. 5. **Emergency Preparedness:** I familiarize myself with emergency procedures and contact information, including the location of emergency supplies and the nearest veterinary clinic, in case of any unexpected situations. Whether caring for pets in my home or at the client's home, my priority is to provide compassionate and reliable care that meets the unique needs of each animal and gives pet owners peace of mind while they're away.
Information Lisa K. would like to know about your pet
Ahead of pet sitting, it's crucial to gather important information about the pets to ensure their well-being and comfort. Here are some key things I need to know: 1. **Feeding Instructions:** Details about the pet's diet, feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any special dietary requirements or restrictions. 2. **Medication Needs:** If the pet requires any medications, I'll need clear instructions on dosage, administration times, and any special handling instructions. 3. **Health and Veterinary Information:** Any known health issues, allergies, or medical conditions, as well as the contact information for their veterinarian in case of emergencies. 4. **Behavioral Considerations:** Information about the pet's personality, temperament, likes, dislikes, and any specific behaviors or triggers to be aware of. 5. **Exercise and Activity Preferences:** Details about the pet's exercise needs, favorite activities, and any physical limitations or restrictions. 6. **Emergency Contact Information:** Contact details for the pet owner, as well as alternative emergency contacts, in case I need to reach someone urgently. 7. **House Rules and Home Care Instructions:** Any specific instructions or preferences related to caring for the pet and maintaining the home, such as where supplies are located, how to handle security systems, and any house rules or routines to follow. By gathering this information ahead of time, I can ensure a smooth and successful pet sitting experience, providing the best possible care for the pets entrusted to me.
A typical day
When pet sitting, I aim to make each day engaging and enjoyable for the pets in my care. Here are some fun activities I may do with them: 1. **Interactive Playtime:** I'll bring along their favorite toys or introduce them to new ones for interactive play sessions. Whether it's a game of fetch, a feather teaser for cats, or a tug-of-war with a rope toy for dogs, interactive play helps keep them mentally and physically stimulated. 2. **Outdoor Adventures:** For dogs, I'll take them for walks in the neighborhood or to nearby parks where they can explore new scents, sights, and sounds. It's a great opportunity for them to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. 3. **Enrichment Activities:** I'll incorporate enrichment activities such as puzzle feeders or treat-dispensing toys to provide mental stimulation and challenge their problem-solving skills. 4. **Cuddle Time:** For pets who love affection, there's nothing better than some quality cuddle time. I'll spend time petting, snuggling, and giving them the attention they crave. 5. **Training Sessions:** If the pet owner approves, I can work on basic obedience training or tricks with dogs, using positive reinforcement techniques to keep it fun and rewarding for them. 6. **Relaxation Time:** Some pets may prefer quieter activities like sunbathing by the window or lounging on their favorite spot. I'll ensure they have plenty of downtime to relax and recharge. By offering a variety of activities tailored to each pet's preferences and energy levels, I aim to make their time with me both fun and fulfilling.

Reviews
This was my first time using Rover and Lisa made me feel so confident in the decision. It was easy to trust her to come on time and take great care of our kitty babies! Will be booking again.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our cats while we were away, appreciate your communication and the care you put into keeping our cats happy and safe.
Lisa is wonderful - great communicator and great with dogs. Looking forward to using her dogwalking services again :)
Great service as usual, Lisa’s communication is 10/10 sending daily photos and updates about our kitty cats. I know they are well cared for when we are away, and they aren’t stressed in a crowded kennel.
