Dogs bring me JOY!
Pet care experience
My name is Lisa and dogs have always been a part of my family pack. My first dog was a beagle then my dad rescued a German Shepherd that was abandoned on a snowy Cleveland night. When I lived off campus in college, I rescued a golden retriever/Irish setter mix who found his way to campus, walked into my physics lecture and found me! I moved to California and working full time I knew that I did not have enough time to properly take care of a dog so I got my fixes by volunteering at the San Diego county animal shelters, helping socialize and train dogs to make them more adoptable. When I bought a home, I rescued a playful Springer Spaniel/Border Collie mix. She became my childrens' first dog. After she passed away too soon at 10, I rescued another dog from the shelter. This time it was a boxer/pit bull mix. I learned a lot about the breed and tried to educate people about the breed. There are a lot of misconceptions about pit bulls. He passed away too at 10. I started walking and pet sitting dogs using the Wag app and have been using that for more than three years. I enjoy the variety of breeds I interact with. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have yet to meet a dog who doesn't like me. Dogs know dog people! I also foster dogs through Dogs on Deployment as my way to give THANKS to the men and women who serve our country, taking care of their dogs while they are deployed. My clients tell me I go above and beyond. I treat every dog like they were my own and give them the love and care they deserve. I would appreciate the opportunity to help you with your dog care needs and give you peace of mind while you are away! I also have experience caring for cats!
Reviews
Lisa was great! She sent us lots of messages and pics while she took care of our pup! I will def book her again.
Lisa was fantastic with my pups as always.
Lisa was an excellent walker for my dog Juni! She was prompt in responding to my messages and thorough in letting me know that everything was going well throughout the walk. Very considerate and responsive. Will certainly use her services again!
Absolutely love Lisa. Will rebook her again. She was very attentive to Loki and took great care of him. He took to her right away. Highly recommend Lisa.

Information Lisa S. would like to know about your pet
I just appreciate knowing their quirks and their triggers. I always err on the side of caution and will avoid interactions with other dogs to avoid issues.
A typical day
I love exploring your neighborhood or if you prefer that I take your dog elsewhere I am game for anything. If you dog likes to jog and is a breed designed to run, I can handle that. Does your dog like fetch? I can accommodate. Do you want me to spend time working on something to fix (like jumping or walking better on a leash? I have lots of things to try to help. I know if a dog needs to cuddle or just likes their space.
