Information Lisa Y. would like to know about your pet

Do my dogs need to stay with their grandma while yours are here (no worries - they love their Gam Gam!)? What makes your pup feel cared for? What is not comforting to your pup? Basically, how can I make this a great visit? Your kid must be up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and have a vet.

A typical day

Belly rubs. Walkies (if there isn't a heat advisory or a hurricane). Backyard time every 2 hours. Indoor play. Naps. More belly rubs. Foreign policy discussions.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs for several years, first for family and friends and then professionally. I currently rent space in my home from my dachshunds. They graciously allow me to board other dogs. They love meeting and playing with the other dogs. They also enjoy staying with grandma when I board dogs that need space from other dogs. I have a nice fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around in, and beds that fit even the biggest dogs. I have experience with elderly and disabled dogs. I have administered medicine and shots. I am a true animal lover (I even love opossums), and would love to take care of your furry friends. I look forward to it!

Lisa is always attentive and great with my Old Lady. As a senior dog, Sweet Pea is getting more challenging and picky (as we all shall someday, God willing) and Lisa is there to support her.

Lisa took great care of my pup! She sent lots of pics and she seemed to be very happy.

Lisa was great with my 2 dogs! She took excellent care of them and sent me daily pictures and videos. Her communication was outstanding. One of my dog's is a 60lb senior who takes some medicine and Lisa followed the instructions perfectly. She was very conscientious about not over medicating him and keeping them on a regular schedule. When my flight was delayed she offered to keep them an extra night at the last minute. She really cares about the animals like they are her own. They came home happy and healthy. I will continue to use Lisa when available and would recommend her to friends.

The dogs seemed to really enjoy their time with Lisa, she played with them lots, and was very communicative and accommodating. She sent tons of pictures and I felt like my pups were in good hands

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
