Loving pet sitter! Here for you!

Pet care experience

I’ve always been surrounded by animals, growing up in a home filled with love from both cats and dogs—many of whom would happily sleep on my bed! As an adult, I knew my family wouldn’t be complete without furry companions. We now have a cuddly cat and a playful dog who bring us so much joy. I truly enjoy meeting and caring for other furry friends and would love the opportunity to help care for yours! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m committed to following their routines, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or playtime. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. My four kiddos share my love for animals and are always eager to give gentle love and attention—if your pet is comfortable and it’s okay with you. They’ve been trained on how to interact safely and kindly with animals, and they understand how to read behaviors that signal when a pet needs space. Any interactions between your pet and my kids will always be supervised by me to ensure everyone feels safe and happy. Together, we’ve helped train our dog from puppyhood, and everyone in our home plays a role in caring for our pets. Your furry friend will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of love and attention throughout their stay. Let me know how I can make your pet feel right at home—I’d be honored to care for them!

Lisa and her wonderful family took care of Molly for a week. We had constant updates and pictures and we will definitely used her services again. We would highly recommend her services

Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.

Information Lisa R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know as much as possible about your pet so I can provide the best care. Please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors that I should be aware of, such as: Health Needs: Does your pet take any medications or have any medical conditions I need to manage? Behavior: Are there any quirks or habits, like separation anxiety, fear of certain situations, or reactivity toward other pets? Preferences: Does your pet have a favorite toy, routine, or activity they love? Do they prefer quiet spaces or lots of interaction? Dietary Needs: Are there specific feeding instructions, allergies, or food preferences I should follow? Socialization: How does your pet interact with other pets or people? Should I avoid certain situations, like crowded parks or playgroups? The more I know, the more I can tailor my care to meet your pet’s unique needs and ensure they feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re with me. Feel free to share any tips or routines that will help me provide the best experience for your furry friend!

A typical day

A Typical Day with Your Pet My day starts with morning greetings and care, ensuring your pet gets their breakfast and a chance to stretch and potty. If they’re staying with me, we might enjoy some playtime in the yard or a short walk to get the day started. For cats, this could mean cuddles, playtime with their favorite toys, or a quiet window perch for bird watching. During the day, I ensure your pet feels comfortable and entertained. Dogs often hang out with me in my home office while I work, enjoying periodic breaks for belly rubs, playtime, or outdoor potty breaks. For pets staying at their home, I make sure they receive regular visits with plenty of attention and care tailored to their routine. Lunch breaks mean more playtime or a midday stroll for exercise and fresh air. I love incorporating games like fetch or tug-of-war for dogs or laser pointer and feather toys for cats to keep them active and engaged. Evenings include dinner, cleanup, and relaxation time. Whether it’s a cozy cuddle session or a final walk of the day, I ensure your pet winds down feeling happy and loved. Fun Activities Dogs: Walks, fetch, tug-of-war, training reinforcement, puzzle toys, and lots of love and cuddles. Cats: Interactive toys, laser pointers, feather wands, cozy lap time, and quiet spaces for relaxation. Every pet has their own unique personality, so I tailor activities to what they enjoy most. Whether your furry friend is playful and energetic or calm and cuddly, they’ll have a day full of fun, care, and love.

I work from home, which allows me to be home most of the day to provide attentive care for your pet. My day starts with feeding and cuddling my cat, followed by saying good morning to my dog and letting him out for a potty break. We typically enjoy some playtime or a walk before I settle into work, and my dog loves to keep me company in my home office. Around lunchtime, we take a stroll to stretch our legs and enjoy some fresh air. When my workday ends, I make sure my cat is fed, her litter box is scooped, and both pets are happy and comfortable. The day wraps up with a final evening walk for my dog and some cozy snuggle time with my cat before bed. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and cared for with love and attention throughout the day! Rest assured that all care and interactions will be handled by me, and I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
