Just call me the Crazy Dog Lady!
About 50 years ago when I was 12 years old, I met a scruffy dog while I was out playing. It was immediate Love. I led the dog home and proceeded to beg my parents if I could keep the dog. Unfortunately, they said no and they didn't even want it in the house. That night it rained and I stayed out there with the dog while we took harbor under the back deck stairs. I named him Pal. The next day, a friend down the street was allowed to take Pal into their family and he stayed with him until he went to heaven. Pal played a very important role in my life. I realized my passion for animals. Also after that, my family began to appreciate animals becoming a part of our family. Years later after I purchased my own home, I came across another homeless dog. I took him in and with my vet, we nursed him back to health. From that point on, I always had at least 3 dogs in my home and usually a cat too. I have cared for many animals from family members, friends and coworker. In hindsight, I have cared for more than 30 animals in my life. In the last 25 years, I have worked as an in-home provider for children. I was also the primary family caregiver for my mother when she returned home from the assisted living facility after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and needed to be brought home before her passing. I was also primary family caregiver for my father when he moved in with me and my daughter due to complications with diabetes and dementia before his passing.

Ratings and reviews
I was not as impressed with Lisa that I have been with others. I only received 1 pic after asking several times. She finally called but would have rather had more pics and updates. When I got there to pick them up I could tell my 90 lb. berenedoodle had been outside for an extended period of time for when he got in the car he was panting very heavy.
Excellent service as always
Great service as always
Lisa took great care of my dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. I could tell they were kept entertained and were well loved. They slept very well the night we got them back!
Lisa took great care of Leo! She sent pictures and videos and was very reassuring that he was doing well! Would highly recommend.
Excellent, Apollo was really well looked after and enjoyed his stay.

Schedule
I am divorced and live alone, I am home 95% of the time and I rarely travel. I am available everyday of the week throughout summer because I have to be here for my child care and my animals.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have been doing in-home childcare/preschool for 25+ years. Due to my passion for dogs, I have joined Rover to provide care and boarding for dogs. The family room is now mostly dedicated for the dogs. The floor is padded, they can get on the 3 couches and chairs and there are several beds on the floor for their comfort. They have access to see out the back windows and out the back doorway. I have a large backyard that has been divided with a fence. There is the small yard dedicated for the children and a much larger area for the dogs. It is large enough for running and throwing balls - The back fence in both areas is open enough for the dogs to see and chase the school kids and trucks as they go by. My dogs favor the fire trucks and emergency vehicles that go by which is pretty often since the station is right down the street. They will usually stand out at the fence howling with the alarms as those vehicles go by. I scoop daily and I have the yard sprayed regularly for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes.
Pets
A typical day
If weather permits, the dogs and I will be outside most of the day. I am in process of creating special areas for the dogs. I am creating a pallet deck under the shade of the big tree and am working on a tire climbing mountain. I have oodles of balls for chasing, ropes for tug of war big sticks for chewing on and lots of bones for the chewing. Again, the dogs chase pedestrians, the school kids and trucks as they go by. My dogs favor the fire trucks and emergency vehicles that go by which is pretty often since the station is right down the street. They will usually stand out at the fence howling with the alarms as those vehicles go by. If weather permits, I put the dog pads on the deck that is covered with an awning for their rest and relaxation. Food and water are always available while outside too.
