Experienced Veterinary Assistant
Pet care experience
I started my career in an animal emergency as a veterinarian assistant in 2009, I moved into t general practice where I remained until 2021. I began pet sitting and dog walking 6 months after starting in the vet field. I had two surgeries in 2021( fully recovered! ) and decided after recovery to do Rover full time. I do this because animals are my passion, and I find comfort in helping people to care for their pets, they become part of my forever family (I fall in love quickly)! 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 little fur babies. I offer a wide range of services. I can 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, let me put your mind to rest as I will care for them like my own! I will send lots of updates and pictures! I also know many veterinarians that are always willing to answer questions and give me advice, truly priceless! I do specialize in cats; I grew up with them and speak cat language pretty well 😻 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!
Reviews
Lisa always brings so much love and creative fun to our gal Derby’s life every time we head out on a short (couple of or extended (couple of days or weeks) vacation. Our home looks even cleaner than we left it, and Derby is relaxed and happy when we return. Lisa’s visits are always respectful of times suggested and she makes the extra efforts every time to help D feel her most comfy, setting up food puzzle toys when she leaves each day and reporting to us with the most adorable photos and thoughtful updates. We are so fortunate to have Lisa in our lives and as a good friend to D! It is also rare to find a sitter who is not only compassionate and caring but has a vast array of cat care knowledge as well. 🥰 🐈✨
Lisa was amazing caring for our 3 senior very high maintenance pets, they absolutely love her!
Lisa looked after my cats while I was away for an international trip for almost a month. She’s responsible, detail-oriented, caring and responsive. One of my cats likes was shy, and Lisa figured out a way to have her walk outside, cuddle and play. I’m thankful that my cats are in perfect hands with Lisa. I will have Lisa taking care of my cats during my absence in the future and recommend her to everyone who needs help in this regard. :)
Lisa is very dependable and super caring, confident in leaving my elderly dog with some special needs in her care

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.

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!

I am currently only doing home pet care, pet sitting and dog walking full time. I typically do have dog walks daily thru the week days, anywhere from 4 to 6 hours during the day. Looking forward to helping out where ever I am able.
