Pup-lover with educator skills

Pet care experience

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 dog parenting practices. I finally have some time to do what I love: spend more time with dogs! As a teacher of 25 years, I can roll in my patience, reliability, and flexibility from my career as well as my own pet parenting experiences. Your dog will appreciate how he or she will be carefully handled whether it's for dog walking, pet sitting, or other services like bathing or taxiing. I look forward to meeting your fur baby!

Pepper normally does not want to leave the house with others but she must trust Lisa who went above and beyond.

Information Lisa M. K. would like to know about your pet

My only main concern is if your pet is not sociable with other dogs and the owner doesn't mention it or the dog has a pet peeve that might make them growl or snap. I expect each dog to be different and to have specific likes or dislikes I need to be aware of. 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. I simply will not handle a dog who seems aggressive.

A typical day

I will take dogs on long walks along the Elizabeth River Trail and, if specified by owner, take them for play time at the PETA dog park. I can go through training exercises that match your dog's skill and play games like Frisbee, catch, chase, tug-of-war, and dole out hundreds of pets. Really, whatever your dog prefers, that is what I will spend time doing.

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.
