Information Lisa M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know that your dog is able to stay inside calmly when I am not home. Are treats OK? What kind? Allergies? Neuroses? What is the typical exercise routine? Anything quirky I should know about? FULL DISCOSURE before the booking process is complete, please. Please do not set up a situation where I am discovering things about your dog that I could have been told in advance.

A typical day

Typically, I will walk your dog first thing in the morning and in the early evenings. If we can get the schoolyard to ourselves, we can run and play fetch in a wide open space.

Home in Need of a Dog!

Pet care experience

(Please read my whole profile to make sure we are a good match! If you decide to request a booking, please provide the requested information about your dog, either on your Rover site or in your inquiry. Note: I provide the walk-only service exclusively in the Kenton neighborhood. Thank you!) I have owned dogs most of my life and spent my adolescence on a small family farm. I love dogsitting and live really near North Portland VCA should there ever be an emergency. If your dog is a good leash walker, they'll get at least two walks per day; otherwise, we'll see how it goes! There is opportunity for backyard play, but I depend on walking to ensure dogs get the movement they need. There are no pets in my house at this time, so as long as your dog gets along with people, the relationships should be OK! No chewers, please; I do not close crate doors.

Lisa took excellent care of Atlas and kept me well informed with regular updates and photos. My pup came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. Looking forward to another stay.

Lisa is great with my Pip. I love the pics she sends and how attentive she is . First class dog watcher.

Lisa really enjoys our admittedly rather sassy dog, and our dog loves her. The only challenge is she's so popular it's hard to get on her calendar 😄

Our dog didn't want to come home! I think she would've loving living with Lisa for the rest of he life which I think is the biggest compliment you can give a dog sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
