My name is Lisa Nelson. My husband and I are empty nesters and have 2 dogs of our own - Leo, beagle terrier, rescue - Lil Stink, Chihuahua, rescue. We have had our dogs for the last 5 years or so and I am predominantly the sole care giver. They brighten my day and love them dearly. I am currently an elementary school teacher, 16 years, and I am making a career change at the end of this school year (2017). I have decided to leave teaching for other opportunities and would love to care for your pets. My husband works full time each day as well as does some out of town traveling. Therefore, my availability will be quite open for your pet care needs.
