Highlights
Pet care experience
Pup-lover with educator skills
I have had 1-2 dogs in my home for the last 20 years, and have spent hundreds of hours at dog parks, with other pet owners, and learning best pet parenting practices. As a teacher of 25 years, I can roll in my patience, reliability, and flexibility from my career as well as my own pet experiences. I am training my teen daughter to assist me, so, together, we can offer THE best care around the clock. Your dog or cat will appreciate how he or she will be carefully handled whether it's for dog walking, pet sitting, or boarding. I look forward to meeting your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment
I spoil dogs, allowing them on couches and in beds; have a large, enclosed porch with lots of doggy lounge areas; live on the Elizabeth River Trail for long dog walks; and am walking distance from a super nice dog park. If sitting them at their home, I am sure to follow all owner instructions and to treat their pets like they were my own to include lots of chats, pets, and snuggles!
Ratings and reviews
Lisa and Graci are great with Beamer and had excellent communication/updates while we were away for the week!
Lisa was wonderful! She followed all instructions, including giving medications to one of our cats. We received daily pictures and updates. The cats liked her a lot, which says a lot about her personality! Will definitely rebook in the future, and highly recommend!
Lisa and Abbi are always willing to accommodate last-minute changes. They are great at sending photos and communicating. Best of all, the cats are happy and relaxed when we get home.
Lisa was fantastic! On short notice earlier in the week, she came over within a day to meet the dogs and walk through our routine. When we mentioned the dogs were pushing their way into our daughter’s playroom, she immediately helped barricade it better without being asked twice. She played with the dogs, fed them, and they clearly loved their time with her. Highly recommend — thank you, Lisa!
Lisa was wonderful! She was prompt and communicative, and my kitty loved her. I would happily have her watch him again!
Lisa was so helpful! I booked last minute, and she was so accommodating. She checked in on my 10 week old puppy twice and had followed instructions based on his immunity. She sent the cutest pictures of Buddy. She is amazing!

Schedule
As a teacher who works 50% of the day teaching online from home, I am only gone a maximum of four hours a day on weekdays and I am off on summers, holidays, and weekends. This allows me to spend a good deal of my time doing something I love: taking care of pets. Now, my teen daughter who wants to become a zoologist is also stepping up to help give every furbaby maximum attention!

- My only main concern is if your pet is not sociable with other dogs and/or has a tendency to growl or snap. I expect each dog to be different and to have specific likes or dislikes, I just need to be aware of it. I have had a Chow Chow and several terriers, so I am not concerned about size or breed type as long as the owner lets me know of any behavioral concerns up front. If I am boarding your dog, I simply will not handle one who is aggressive. I have never had an issue with any cat aside from the ones who hide: doesn't bother me, but I worry if I can't visually make sure they are okay.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
