Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover and owner of cats and dogs my whole life. While in college, I worked at a veterinarian's office just to be around pets, and it was the most rewarding and fun job I ever had! I lost my beloved Cavalier two years ago and miss him dearly, but I'm not ready to own again. I really miss having a pet companion and have lots of love to share with your pets. I live next door to a park, and our neighborhood is perfect for walking and meeting other pets. My home is spacious and clean with a fenced back yard. I will love and care for your pet as my own!!

Lisa is wonderful! She kept our dog while we were vacationing in the area, giving our dog a super vacation!! Our dog had a very good time there. Lisa kept us updated and sent us pictures daily. If we were in the area again, I will definitely seek for Lisa’s service! Thank you, Lisa!!

This was my first time using Lisa’s services and my first time being away from my goldendoodle Sampson that long. Lisa was amazing! She and her family lovingly took Sampson in and treated him as if their own. I was hundreds of miles away but never once had to worry if he was being properly cared for. He was so happy there … endless amounts of attention and walks galore!! I HIGHLY recommend Lisa and will definitely be calling on her again!

Lisa is awesome with our boys. She provides a loving and fun home. We get daily updates and pictures. We don't worry about them at all.

Lisa has watched our girls multiple times and goes above and beyond for them when they’re in her and her family’s care! She’s great at providing updates and the dogs become a part of the family when they’re with her. We couldn’t recommend her more to care for your furry friends!

Information Lisa R. would like to know about your pet

I cared for my 14-year old Cavalier who suffered from degenerative myelopathy before he died so I am very experienced caring for dogs with special needs. Please let me know if your pet requires special care, utilizes mobility equipment, or requires medications, and I will be happy to care for them!

A typical day

Definitely lots of walks and playtime in the neighborhood park which is adjacent to my home. I love to play fetch and run around the house chasing/playing with dogs who like to run. I have lots of safe squeaky toys too! I also like to cuddle on the couch when pets need a rest.
