Home care services are available too - check your mail, take out the trash, water plants, etc. My husband and I both grew up with dogs, but in 2002 we rescued our own little bundle of joy who grew into a 110 lb big bundle of joy, a chocolate lab we named Austin. We were so surprised, and caught off guard, by how much we loved this guy. This depth of love is like no other, he stole our hearts... he truly was our furry child. In 2012, our family unexpectedly had to say goodbye to our very best friend... our partner in crime, confidant, walking buddy, foot warmer, bed hogger, brother, therapist, "mommy's big guy", and co-pilot. We were heartbroken, and our home felt so empty and quiet, even with our 2 1/2 year old son keeping us crazy busy. "Austin" had changed our lives forever. He filled our hearts with joy and our life with love, and taught us things like humility, always greet everyone with enthusiasm, any time is play time, everyone is a friend, each moment is a new moment, never hold a grudge, smell every thing along the way and roll in the good stuff, chase anything that runs, and keep one eye on the cat. After our loss, we started helping a local dog rescue by fostering dogs coming out of high kill shelters. We felt this was "Austin-Approved". It was a way for us to give back while providing them a safe, loving space where we could discover their personalities, quirks and qualities and they could feel loved again while waiting for their new fur-ever homes. "He took my heart and ran with it, and I hope he's running still, fast and strong, a piece of my heart bound up with his forever"

Reviews
Thank you for taking such fantastic care of my pups Lily and Louie!
Thank you Lisa for taking amazing care of my dogs and giving my girl all her medications.
Lisa always goes above and beyond for our kits. We have had the impeccable timing to go out of town during two of the worst weather events this year and she has still come to take care of our babies on schedule. Even when she isn't feeling well she has prioritized their well being and we can't thank her enough. We have started thinking of her as an extension of the family in some ways, referring to her as "Auntie Lisa."
Lisa is so special! We are very lucky to have found her to care for our fur babies. Makes a huge difference in being able to enjoy a trip!!

Information Lisa V. would like to know about your pet
Is he current on his flea medication? Our home is 2 stories, how does he do with stairs? Does he travel well in the car? Is he potty trained? Does he have any accidents? Does he get along with others? People and dogs? How does he do with kids? Any food allergies or special diet? Has he had obedience training or is he still learning? Does he listen and obey commands? Any bad habits? - chewing, digging, food aggression, barking, etc. We are dog lovers! We especially like large dogs and have a special soft spot for labradors. We have a small child, so even though we love all dogs we can only accept child friendly breeds.
A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement Bring his bed and favorite toy and he can sleep next to our bed at night (since our bed is already pretty full), or he can sleep just about anywhere he wants during the day. Time I'll spend with your dog Being an at-home mom works to your advantage, as your dog will hang out with me and my family and will typically go where we go.
