Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet student providing quality care
I have had pets for as long as I could remember. Although my family started with small animals at first, when I was in high school, we got our first cat, a Scottish Fold named Cali! Now I have two dogs, Taco and Willow, and a snake, Java. I am also currently a vet student and have worked in the veterinary field for about 5 years. I have also been in the animal care industry for about 6 years. With my experience, you can rest assured that someone experienced in animal care, animal behavior, and veterinary medicine is taking wonderful care of your dog! Asides from knowing how to perform medical procedures for animals, I also love to train dogs. I’m very interested in behavioral medicine and enjoy training my own two little ones. Taco is task-trained by myself alone. Do you have a behaviorally complex or reactive dog? No worries! I have experience handling reactive and anxious dogs, even having managed to train one to be able to walk on the same side of the street as other dogs! All of my background and knowledge will help me take the best care of your family members!

Safety, trust & environment
I understand how to read animal body language very well from all of my years working in the vet industry. I know how to approach both confident and fearful animals, as I have a slightly anxious girl myself. I always use treats, attention, and toys as a way to gain their trust and strongly believe in positive reinforcement training, as well as a fear free approach. I know how to ensure that the room is dog/cat-proofed and what signs to look out for should your pet not be feeling well. Important to note that I am fear free certified!
Ratings and reviews
Lisa is just a delight and so wonderful with my cat. I highly recommend her!
Efficient. Great communication and the the cats love her! Wonderful to have a vet student caring for them.
Dependable, great communication and my cats are happy when I return. Excellent.
Lisa was perfect for our 3 cats. She updated us whenever anything odd or important happened, or the cats had any issues. She sent us lots of updates and photos, so we could see how they were doing. She maintained their bowls and boxes wonderfully, and played with them a lot. The cats did great while we were gone, and we were so happy with how happy they seemed.
I came back to very happy cats! Lisa took great care of ‘the boys’. I would recommend her highly, and will plan to use her again to watch my cats.
Excellent and loving care of my cats. I came home to very happy and healthy pets!

Schedule
I am currently a student where about half of my schedule is spent at home and half of it is spent on campus! What this means is that I should have plenty of time to walk your furry family members, and it’s a great way to destress for me!
