*Please Note: I am currently only accepting new housesit requests for 2 overnights or longer. Single-night housesits will be considered for repeat clients only. I work as an elementary school paraeducator, so during the school year I can only do housesits with pets who are okay being home alone for 7-8 hours on weekdays. Drop-in visits can be worked in before & after school hours. My schedule is more flexible during school breaks, but even then I still typically can only take housesits with pets who are okay being home alone for 2-3 hours. I provide services in Tacoma and the immediate surrounding areas in Pierce County.

Safety, trust & environment

Trusting someone in your home while you are gone is a big deal, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I do not invite guests to clients’ homes, and I do my best to leave the space as I found it. In short, I will take care of your home the same way I’d want someone to take care of mine. In addition to pet care, I am happy to gather your mail, water your plants, put the bins out on trash day, and just make sure things are generally okay in and around your home.

Information Lisa P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any health issues, physical limitations, behavior triggers, or personality quirks I should be aware of beforehand. In addition, it is always helpful to have info about daily routines, activity needs, and most importantly, where you keep their treats!

A typical day

I like to be consistent with your pet’s regular routine, so I will follow any instructions you have for me. I will ensure they get their necessary amount of physical activity and play time, and lots of love and attention! I also have plenty of experience with pets who are skittish around new people, whether they simply have a shy or introverted personality, or a more complex history of trauma. I pay close attention to the signals they give so I can respect their boundaries and let them warm up to me on their own time.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats, so I’ve been an animal lover from the start. As a renter I can’t have pets of my own, so petsitting is a great way for me to still get to spend time with animal friends! Pets are part of the family, and when I’m looking after your fur-babies, I will show them all the love and attention just like I would if they were my own. Whether you just need a few drop-in visits, or full overnight housesitting, I’m happy to help.

Our dogs had a wonderful time again with Lisa! She took excellent care of them, especially our senior dog. We enjoyed the photos she sent and had great communication with her.

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.
