Lisa lax house

Growing up on a 100-acre farm in Texas, animals weren't just pets, they were family. Neighbors would drop strays on our land, and we never turned a single one away. Dogs, cats, you name it, they all found a home with us. That upbringing shaped everything about how I see and care for animals, and honestly, at this point in my life, I think I need them more than they need me. I moved to beautiful Santa Rosa Beach in 2023 after becoming an empty nester, and I work from home full-time which means your dog gets a real companion, not just a check-in. No crates, no loneliness, no forgotten pup in the corner. Why I started Rover: After losing two beloved dogs within two years, I wasn't ready to adopt again but I still needed dogs in my life. Rover became my answer. It gave me my daily dog fix while helping put two kids through college (they're 21 and 23 now). My son loved it so much, he became a Rover sitter too! Why I understand what you need: I never boarded my own dogs, even with a vet I'd trusted for over a decade. The limited space, the barking, the stress, it didn't sit right with me. I knew my dog was anxious, and that made me anxious. That experience is exactly why I take this so seriously. I want you to feel completely at ease when you leave, because I know firsthand how much that peace of mind matters. My kids and friends have always called me the dog whisperer as I seem to just click with dogs, even the shy or stubborn ones. I'd love to welcome yours. 🐕

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all the animals I care for just like they are my own babies! I also respect the homeowners home and would also treat it just like my own and hopefully leave it just how it was when they left.

Lisa was amazing! She came through for my pups at the last minute, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of them on short notice. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you, Lisa, for helping us out when we needed it most! We would gladly book with you again. 🐾💕

Lisa was absolutely amazing with my two pups! She sent daily updates and photos, took them on walks, and truly put my mind at ease while I was traveling. It’s not easy leaving your pets, but I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. I will definitely be booking with her again!

Lisa was just great with Ruby. She arrived a bit early and that gave us a chance to chat and for Ruby to get used to her. We appreciate that. We hope to have her sit with Ruby again and definitely recommend her!

Lisa was amazing and our dog loved his stay with her. She was very communicative and kept us updated throughout the stay. She went above and beyond for us and we will absolutely use her again anytime we come down to this area! Thank you Lisa!

What makes them happy, fearful, what could be positive or negative triggers for them. Is it okay to give them treats and let them on furniture? Are they good on a leash? Are they aggressive towards children or other animals?
