Safety, trust & environment

Pets are cared for exactly how you would. The more details you can give me, the better! What commands are used, diet and exercise routines, how do they like to play, sleeping arrangements, do you crate, what are their daily needs, any allergies or quirks/special needs, etc.

Information Lisa M. would like to know about your pet

Any information on personality, quirks, feeding, how they like to be played with and loved; as much information as you can give me to ensure I'm caring for them exactly the way you would!

A typical day

I typically like to take my dogs to all the local dog parks and/or Ocean Beach dog beach if they are social. I also like to go for long walks around Lake Murray. As for my kitty friends, I like to play, brush and give nose bumps!

Experienced Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I started my career in an animal emergency as a veterinarian assistant in 2009, I moved into a general practice, where I remained until 2021. I began pet sitting and dog walking 6 months after graduating from my Veterinary Technician program at Pima Medical Institut. Animals are my passion, and I find comfort in helping people to care for their pets as I would if they were my very own ♥️ I also do my best to stay on top of research in health, food and behavior; I truly enjoy trying to find and practice the best ways to care for all our fur family. I offer a wide range of services. I handle special needs pets; behavior issues, and sick and elderly pets. I am confident in administering injections, and/or oral and topical medications. Handling animals and ensuring their safety and good health is my priority and I put great detail into their needs. I understand leaving your pet in the hands of another can be scarry, my goal is to put your mind at ease while you are away, I will send lots of updates and pictures! I do specialize in cats; I grew up with them and speak cat language 😻 Even the angry and non social ones 😼 Some services I offer: Cleaning litter box as well as keeping your house cleaned and tidy Brushing Nail trims Behavior training Leash training Ear cleanings and medicating Administer any types of medications or inhalers Anal glands expressions Grooming Exercising Health and nutrition advice Of course play time is included! Also watering plants and getting mail Running errands Feel free to ask me!

Lisa was amazing with our cats when we left on our trip. Our cats are usually very shy with new people, but they came out for her and loved her. I would definitely be booking with her again for our next trips!
