Reliable & Caring, w/ patio dog run

Pet care experience

I’m patient and will work with your anxious or disabled dog. I offer drop off and pick up service within Alameda. *Important Note* Please ensure that your pet is up to date on flea medication prior to arrival. I am unable to accept dogs and cats who are not on flea preventive treatment. In case there is a live flea(s) spotted on your pet, there will be a charge associated with flea shampoo and cleanup of the house from possible infestation. I grew up with many dogs. I have owned dogs for 23 years. I love discovering their personalities and rewarding them for good behavior. I believe in positive reinforcement. I was an elementary teacher and substitute teacher for years and found this to be most effective in behavior management. I find this effective with my dog as well. I work from home. I use toxin free cleansers in my home, so you can be assured your pet will not be near toxins like chlorine bleach or ammonia. I do not wear perfumes that could irritate your dear dog. I only do drop-in service in Alameda. I will include a walk with the drop in if requested. I work patiently and lovingly with anxious dogs to help them become comfortable with me. I meet them where they are at emotionally and give positive feedback and support. I also care for special needs dogs and am open to walking your blind or disabled pet. I charge by 24 hour intervals, and by hour if it goes over. Message me today. Thank you for considering me as caregiver for your beloved dog. See you soon.

Lisa took very well care of my cat while I was away. She is very knowledgeable with pets, gentle, and pays attention to their needs. I would entrust my kitties with her again if needed.

Lisa sends pictures several times a day. She leaves our house clean and follows our house rules. We feel confident that our dog is well cared for

Lisa did a great job watching my dogs over a holiday weekend. She was super communicative and even prepared special food for my pup who wasn’t eating his kibble.

Lisa is amazing! Our dog is a quirky rescue and he thrived under Lisa’s care. On top of that she is great at communicating and sending pics. Highly recommended.

Information Lisa P. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs that are not prone to jumping fences. I also prefer small dogs or large gentle dogs. I have two small dogs and would want them to get along with my dogs. My dogs are very agreeable and friendly.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs on walks with me. We spend a lot of time on the patio where the dogs play in the sunshine and get fresh air.
