Pet care experience

Your dog will be like family

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.

Lisa was so amazing, i’ll definitely be booking with her next time i’m out of town. My dog seemed to like her a lot, and she was so sweet with him. She was very trustworthy, and very accommodating.

I chose Lisa because I could see her genuine love of animals and because she is a foster mom also. To my surprise she was able to pick up my very timid dog that usually runs under my bed with people she doesn’t know. I highly recommend her.

She was great with my senior dog. (Sorry he peed on your floor) I appreciated knowing he was in good hands while we were out of town.

Lottie had a great stay with Lisa and her pups. I will definitely reach out to Lisa the next time I’m in need of a pet sitter! Highly recommended! Thanks Lisa!

No breed preferences as long as they get along with small children, small dogs, and cats. I'd need to know about any medical issues, behavior issues, quirks, and what makes them happy and comfortable.
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.
