Lisa did a great job with my 2 pups. She was able to address the issues I had when walking them. She takes the time to explain everything and worked so well with my pups that I saw immediate results. I highly recommend Lisa!!!

There is simply not enough time or space to write a review to capture how truly outstanding Lisa is. I have worked with dogtrainers for many years and have never met or worked with anyone as competent, conscientious and reliable. She easily assessed the causes of my dog's behaviors and corrected them and me )) promptly, encouragingly and empathetically.
I was beginning to consider rehoming my dog until I found Lisa. Best trainer and person you'll find!

A Truly Excellent Pet Sitter: Highly Recommend Lisa! We couldn't be happier with the care Lisa provided for our fur babies while we were away for a week. Honestly, knowing she was looking after them completely eliminated any travel anxiety. Lisa is an absolute sweetheart, and it was clear from the moment we got back that our pets were happy, relaxed, and incredibly well taken care of. Lisa's communication was outstanding. She was in touch with us every single day, providing peace of mind by sending wonderful photos and video updates. It made our trip so much better to see them enjoying themselves! Our pets clearly loved her, which is the highest recommendation we can give. If you are looking for a reliable, loving, and professional pet sitter, we wholeheartedly recommend Lisa. She is the best!

Lisa is very professional and takes the time to explain things slowly to my elderly mother. She was punctual and the pup responded very well to her training.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Most of my pricing is set to the standard in which I charge all of my clients.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always want to be able to meet the owner of the dog I walk prior to any walks that I may take on. The reasoning behind that is, I like to find out if the dog male or female has any issues with other dogs, If they like to chase other animals, If they have any allergies or medical conditions in which might mean avoiding a specific type of treat I will use during a walk or a training session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have done many years of dog walking and dog training. I did scent detection work with toy poodles, Training them to become diabetic alert dogs. I now do basic training with puppies and dogs alike along with walks also.
