Lisa was exceptional with our dog and as a house sitter generally. We have a miniature pincher who is a total sweetheart once you get to know him, but our dog has pretty significant fear aggression problems (he is a rescue and we are working on it). We were especially nervous to leave our furry friend alone with a stranger and were concerned about how he would be handled. Lisa took the time to ask the right questions and made multiple visits to our home ahead of time to get to know our dog and have him become comfortable and trust her; She walked him and even had a joint session with our dog trainer in order to understand our doggy’s quirks and needs. And it worked! He absolutely ADORES her. It felt very reassuring to have Lisa pay such personal attention to Oliver’s unique needs and anxieties. On top of that, she cooked for him too! (Following doggy diet restrictions of course) Lisa was very communicative while we were away, updating us regularly on the household and was great with our other animals too. (We have 2 rats and a red eared slider turtle) She made sure they were all fed and well taken care of. Additionally, she gave them all special meals for Christmas. The house was in great condition when we returned home and all of our animals seemed happy and content. We are incredibly appreciative of the clear effort and care she provided for our family, and we have every intention of booking her again. We really can’t recommend Lisa enough!
