Pet care experience
I have loved dogs since I was a kid and started fostering through a rescue a few years ago. The foster experience was one of the most rewarding things I've done. Seeing a dog's personality start to come out as a result of a little love and security is truly life-changing. Through fostering I ending up adopting my own furbaby, who is absolutely the love of my life!
Reviews
Lisa is so reliable and wonderful, I think my dog is disappointed when I walk her instead.
Lisa is so in tune, so considerate!
Lisa is so good with our fearful lil pup. She goes slow and gently, and I was very impressed with how quickly he warmed up to her!
Lisa was a life saver, caring for my dog so beautifully while also giving me peace of mind. She was so amazing, I’m not sure where to start. She and Buddy kept my dog happy, healthy and smiling during my absence. In fact, my dog will really miss both Lisa and Buddy! Lisa was extremely responsive and generous, coordinating with my teenager, extending services when my flight was cancelled, even watering my (many) plants during those 106 degree days. She went above and beyond, and clearly has a knack for taking care of both dogs and their humans!

Safety, trust & environment
Before walking or spending time with your dog I will ask you to share information about their usual schedule, nuances to how they like to be fed, where they like to walk, other dogs in the neighborhood they may like or dislike, and what training you'd like to ensure is reinforced.
Information Lisa M. would like to know about your pet
A few things I’d love to know in advance if not on your profile: 1) What is your dog’s typical schedule in terms of food, walks, exercise, and sleep? 2) What is your dog’s general temperament? Any reactions to strangers, noises, or other dogs? 3) Where will your dog be when I get to your home? Is there a risk of him reacting to a new person entering or trying to escape? 4) How long can your dog be left alone for? Any routines to abide by to keep him calm when leaving the house? 5) Any destructive tendencies? Should I be aware of leaving certain things on counters or within reach? 6) Can you share your usual walking path or places you like to take your dog to play? 7) Any allergies or instructions related to food or treats?
A typical day
I love to be outside and active and will make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and stimulation! I love taking my dog to the trails off interlaken or around the arboretum.

Availability
I am currently a freelance marketer, so my schedule is quite flexible. As the world starts to re-open and people resume their busy social lives and work from the office, I am passionate about ensuring the abundance of "COVID puppies" continue to get the love and attention they are used to and deserve.
