Doggo-loving and 30-something!

Pet care experience

I absolutely love meeting new dogs. Throughout middle and high school I made extra money by dog sitting, and now that I have used Rover myself to find dogsitters for my little man Andy, I am excited to help you out when you need someone to come over and take care of your little one(s)! In addition to Andy, I raised my roommate's dog Lottie from when she was 10 weeks old...that was over 4 years ago. Training a dog from that early was such a wonderful way to not only get acquainted with my baby girl but to learn so much about working with dogs. I cannot think of a better way to meet new dogs and their humans than to petsit via Rover. My experience using Rover has been exceptional, and now I want to provide that exceptional service to as many people and pups as I can. What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my flexibility and total willingness to come to your home to care for your dog while you are away. I am also, of course, happy to stay at your house as well during your absence. I am single and have no children so it will not affect my daily life to do so. I am very excited for the opportunity, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Lisa did a great job watching our cat last year (I forgot to do this review)! She was very responsive and made my first trip away from my cat really easy!

I hired Lisa to watch my 2-year-old cat Josie in my home while I was away on a weeklong trip. Lisa was supposed to stop by my apartment every other day for a total of 4 visits, to ensure that Josie had food, water, and clean litter. I trusted that this arrangement would work out due to how positive Lisa’s reviews are, and I even met up with Lisa briefly before hiring her to ensure I was comfortable with her, however, my experience ended up being highly negative and I would not recommend anyone else to trust this person with their pet care. Initially while on my trip it seemed everything was fine, she regularly texted me pictures and updates of Josie. When I got back, however, I immediately found my cat’s food and water dishes completely empty, additionally the water dish was dry and slightly dusty, as though there hadn’t been water in it for days. I have never known my cat to empty either her food or water; she always has free access to each and has never been an overeater. Of course I immediately offered my cat water and she sat and drank for about 5 minutes straight, so she was clearly very thirsty. Furthermore I found that the bathroom (where Josie’s litter is kept) door had been closed so she had no access to her litter box and of course left a big mess on the floor. My cat has never previously had an accident before. I also found that one of my closet doors, which I am very careful to keep closed since I keep my shoes there, had been left open and Josie chewed through/ate the straps/shoelaces on three separate pairs of shoes. While of course I am upset about the loss of the shoes, I am much more concerned by the possible medical issues my cat could experience as a result of this. Again I will reiterate that I made sure this door was closed before leaving for my trip, so I am positive that Lisa must have opened the closet and didn’t close it afterwards. Lastly, I found an open garbage bag of dirty cat litter just left on top of the kitchen counter, which is just gross and inconsiderate. I cannot express enough how upset and horrified I was to see the lack of care Lisa showed towards my cat, who is like my baby, and I certainty would never hire Lisa ever again to watch any pet. The only positive thing I can say about this experience is that my cat is still alive and no permanent damage has been done to her. I strongly warn any other pet owners to stay away from this person.

From the first 'meet and greet,' it was clear that Lisa had a special way with Chance and Maggie. I felt completely at ease leaving them in her care, and her daily emails and photos reinforced that. She did a fantastic job!

Information Lisa R. would like to know about your pet

I'm such a fan of all dogs, as they all come with different personalities. Before sitting for a dog, I would just want to know how s/he does with strangers and how obedient they are (to have a better understanding as I visit each day).

A typical day

We will go on walks around your neighborhood, play in any available parks so that your pup gets some exercise, and have a romping good time with his/her toys!
