Pet care experience
I come from a household full of pets, and have experience with all different shapes and sizes of cats and dogs! I also have some college education and hands-on experience from when I was planning on becoming a veterinarian, such as shadowing a vet clinic. I’m extremely knowledgeable and attentive to animals' needs and value their comfort. I also have a cat of my own and have taken in sick strays from the streets and rehabilitated them. I am completely comfortable with taking care of anything from a puppy or a kitten all the way up to seniors, which I love.
Reviews
Lisa was awesome! Lisa sent daily pictures and updates so I knew Thor was having a blast with her each day!
Lisa was awesome! She took great care of my dog.
Lisa took great care of Zadie for 3 nights. She kept me updated with photos. She took Zadie on adventures, walk, and even a dog-safe “smoothie” snack outing. Highly recommend!
Lisa was great! Crosby had the best time.
About Lisa M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My approach to animal care depends entirely on the needs and requirements of each individual pet. My own cat is very content to lounge all day and will come to seek me out when he is craving pets, so I take a very relaxed approach with him. Given that for most pets entering a new space with new people and animals can be quite a stressful experience I make it a point to be calm, gentle, and not overwhelming to them. But to keep a watchful eye, and ensure their safety above all else. So you can have that peace of mind! I live in a 2 story condo with my own en suite that is quite large. It has a baby gate installed for their safety and separation if needed. It has plenty of room to allow your pet to slowly acclimate to a new space over the course of a few hours, or even days, depending on them.

Information Lisa M. would like to know about your pet
For my own sake, I value transparency with your dog's socialability. I have a cat of my own, and my roommate has a dog. So if you do not feel like your pet is friendly with other animals for everyone's sake it is important to mention ahead of time, before booking.
A typical day
We have our own backyard, and although on the smaller side, I love to spend time with dogs out there, or walk them down to our own dog park filled with grass, trees, sand, and plenty of room to run and play. I usually spend my evening indoors watching TV or playing games, so I usually have a spot reserved next to me for your pet if they so wish to hang out with me! We take walks in the evening as well when it's cooler, and play throughout the day, primarily indoors. If you choose to stay with me I make it a point to do a mini-photoshoot with your pet, at no extra cost with my professional camera.

Availability
I am my own boss and make my own schedule, so I am incredibly flexible on both a daily and weekly schedule. So whether you want to book a boarding a month in advance or a day in advance, chances are I’m your guy.
