Highlights
Pet care experience
Holistic Nurse & Animal Lover!
Exceptional Pet Care from a Holistic Health Nurse! I Give Specialized Care That Goes Above and Beyond! As a holistic health and wellness nurse, I bring a unique blend of professional healthcare expertise and genuine animal connection to pet sitting. My medical background ensures your pets receive care that truly stands out from standard pet sitting services. What Sets My Care Apart: - **Medical Expertise**: My nursing background means I can confidently administer medications, recognize subtle health changes, and respond appropriately to any concerns that might arise - **Puppy Training Skills**: I offer professional-level puppy training alongside sitting services, helping establish positive behaviors from the start - **Senior Pet Specialization**: I understand the special needs of aging pets and provide gentle, attentive care tailored to their comfort and health requirements - **Natural Animal Communication**: I've always shared a special bond with animals—a gift recognized even in my childhood, when our priest specifically chose me to care for his rabbits. - **Holistic Approach**: I apply my wellness knowledge to ensure your pets receive care that supports their physical, emotional, and behavioral health Availability & Commitment Currently developing my online wellness coaching business from home, I have exceptional flexibility and availability for pet care. This work arrangement allows me to provide consistent, reliable attention to your beloved companions without the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5 schedule. Lifelong Experience My connection with animals spans my entire life—from being entrusted with special care responsibilities as a child to currently working professionally as a house and pet sitter. I've taken excellent care of homes and pets for several weeks at a time. I love both cats and dogs, and have throughout my life! I have developed a deep understanding of their unique needs and personalities. When you choose my services, you're not just getting a pet sitter—you're getting a dedicated care professional who combines healthcare expertise with a natural ability to connect with animals, the best of both worlds! :)

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and Trust As a registered nurse and board-certified health and wellness nurse coach, I bring professional-level observation skills to identify subtle changes in pet behavior or health that others might miss. I truly enjoy caring for other living beings here on Earth. My medical background ensures I can respond appropriately to emergencies, administer medications precisely, and follow detailed care instructions. I understand the importance of consistent routines and environments for pet wellbeing, maintaining your home's security protocols exactly as instructed. Maintaining a Healthy Environment I approach home care with the same attention to detail I bring to healthcare, ensuring spaces remain clean, organized, and exactly as you left them. My professional training has instilled habits of thoroughness and accountability that translate perfectly to caring for your home. I respect the sanctity of your personal space, treating your home with the same care and consideration I would my own. Physical Wellbeing for Pets I create customized exercise routines based on your pet's specific breed, age, health status, and energy level. My healthcare background allows me to monitor physical indicators of wellness during activities and adapt accordingly. I understand the vital connection between physical activity and overall health, ensuring your pets receive appropriate stimulation. Emotional and Behavioral Support I recognize that pets experience emotions similar to humans and require stability, especially when their owners are away. My holistic approach includes providing lots of love, comfort, companionship, and consistent positive reinforcement. I'm skilled at interpreting pet body language and behavioral cues, adjusting my approach to meet their individual needs. Tailored Care Approach Just as I develop personalized wellness plans for patients, I will learn your pet's preferences, routines to provide truly customized care. I can "keep you in the loop" and share pictures and/or as much as you would like while you're away, to provide you peace of mind. My holistic philosophy means I pay attention to nutrition, hydration, exercise, rest, and emotional wellbeing—the complete picture of pet health!
Ratings and reviews
This was our second booking with Lise to care for our Maine coon cat. Her care for Chico and our home was again exceptional and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. She sent photos and updates daily, so we could see that Chico was relaxed and happy, and went above and beyond in leaving the house as clean as she found it, even washing all the bedding. Thank you, Lise!
Lise was so great! She loved on the fur babies while we were gone for a week. We enjoyed her daily photos. House was well kept and clean. Can’t recommend enough.
Lise took excellent care of our big coon cat while we were away. She checked in with us daily, sent photos, and clearly spent a great deal of time interacting with him. Knowing he was being well cared-for was very reassuring and we couldn't have been happier on our return. She was also very respectful of our home and left it immaculate. We've already booked Lise for a week-long stay next month, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Lise was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative and gave our pup so much love and attention I think he is sad she’s gone. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting. She kept the house very clean and was so flexible when our flight was delayed. She also sent us so many amazing pictures! We definitely look forward to working with her again!
Lise is amazing! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated every day with their adventures. It’s easy to see that she loves spending time with dogs. She also took great care of our home and left it cleaner then when she go there. She baked cinnamon rolls and left some for us. It was a very thoughtful and delicious treat. I would definitely have Lise watching Bella for us in the future and I highly recommend her to others.
Thanking you for taking such good care of Harry and Ruby. I know both dogs had a great time with you. Each day Lise was out the door with the dogs early in the morning. We have several nice hiking areas close by, and she took advantage of all of them to exercise the dogs. (who are both high energy dogs). Rest of the day was play and rest. Communication was great, sent pics and overall made us feel like we made a great choice on a short notice sit. The house was tidy and neat; she even did her sheets on her bed. I don't know what else to say but if I could keep Lise a secret I would. We are looking forward to having her sit our two dogs whenever we are planning a trip.
