Hi, my name is Lisa and I am a stay at home mom. I have been a vet tech for 5 years, fostered many sick and injured pets, and volunteered at numerous animal shelters. I have been working with dogs and cats for over 30 years. My husband and 11 year old son share our home with 2 dogs ( Chi/Dachshund mix and Lab/Shepard mix), 3 cats, and 2 bunnies. They range in age from 2-11 years old. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover from a young age having grown up with a Chihuahua mix, living to the ripe old age of 19. We always had cats around to add to the mix. I have volunteered at many shelters across the US for 25+ years. Most recently worked at a local veterinary hospital for 5 years until my son was born. During that time I fostered numerous dogs and cats that were sick or injured, then had them adopted when they were well. Consequently, I welcomed a few of them into my family to stay. I have been a petsitter since I was a teenager and just love to be around animals at all times. About my yard I live in a nice older home in mid-town, have a 6ft wall around our backyard, and have 2 grassy areas to play in. For those dogs who like the water, I can offer a pool for those hot Tucson days. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable giving any medication. Having worked in a veterinary hospital, that was part of the job.
