Melissa R. says:
I was skeptical at first, looking for a dog sitter, and when I came across Lisa and met her for the first time I knew I could not have found a better fit for my dog. My dog is friendly put very cautious of most people. He immediately took to Lisa and I felt completely comfortable with him in her care. She is amazing with communication and punctuality. I never have to question if my dog is okay because I will... More

Lisa V. responds:
Thank you Missy! I'm so glad Lobo was comfortable with me when we met, as I am grateful for the relationship we have now. It's so sweet how excited he gets when he hears me come in. His greeting makes me laugh and brightens my day! Thanks again!
Sarah R. says:
Lisa has been walking our three little mutts for a number of months. On our first meeting I was really impressed with both her professional manner and her ability to connect with all three dogs. I am so happy that I hired her. I couldn't agree more with the other reviews - Lisa really is a super-star. She manages my hectic household perfectly - she checks in and confirms, but she doesn't need a lot of direction.... More

I feel so blessed to have such wonderful clients! Thank you Sarah for this wonderful review. Lucy, Coco and Eddy are 3 loving pups that keep me on my toes ;-)
Ann-marie M. says:
Lisa has been walking my two Golden Retrievers for several months, and the entire family thinks she's a super star. She is very responsible and flexible. She sends a daily report which frequently comes with a picture so I know all is well. I highly recommend her.

Lisa V. responds:
Thanks Ann-marie! Brady and Shelby are a pleasure to walk and I feel lucky to have them in my life :-)
Jennifer K. says:
Lisa is an amazing dog walker and caregiver! We have 3 dogs with varying needs and she takes care of each one with great care and love. Our youngest and biggest dog, Sedona, is much more relaxed when we get home from work now that Lisa gives her some midday exercise! She even stopped chewing on the banisters. :) Our 2 older, smaller dogs love having a potty break midday too. I think the best moment for us... More

Gary R. says:
Lisa is an extraordinary dog-walker and person! We hired her via Care.com and have been impressed with her service ever since. Lisa has an inherent compassion toward animals and our elderly dog immediately took to her! She is always on time, never misses a day, and provides me with daily reports of the walk. She is knowledgeable about dogs and has offered advice on several occasions. Anyone in Lisa's presence... More

Thank you very much for this great review!
Candice C. says:
I was in a bind and had to go out of town on the fly, I needed someone to come in and care for my best friend Tegan the Labradoodle. I didn't want to put him in a kennel or daycare. He just feels better at home. I was apprehensive about finding some stranger to come into my house. I found Lisa on Care.com and decided to give her a call. She seemed wonderful, almost too good to be true. I decided to give it a... More

I love what I do and I love knowing it shows by the appreciation I get from my clients. Thank you Candice for this wonderful review! I look forward to seeing Tegan again very soon! :-)
Virginia R. says:
I have just hired Lisa to take care of my elderly dog -- twice a day potty breaks plus one weekly trip to the vet. I was so impressed with Lisa when I met her, and from our phone conversations and emails, that I also am entrusting my dog to her when I go out of town for three nights.

Lisa was very proactive and professional -- always responded to my emails, and, later, phone calls. When I met her, it was...

Jesus P. says:
When I was looking for a pet sitter I was a little nervous because my last pet sitters were completely awful. When I met Lisa and I saw the reaction of my 2 dogs and they seem really happy with her I knew she was the one for the job. Lisa is awesome sending text and calling you to let you know what is going on with your dogs. She is always in time and calls to see if you make it home safe. Not only takes care... More

Jenni M. says:
We are so lucky to have found Lisa! She is extremely reliable and trustworthy. Every visit, she let us know how are dog was doing with pictures and even videos. She truly loves animals and is a very hard worker. I consider her a part of our family now.

Lisa V. responds:
Many thanks for this great review! It was a pleasure meeting this family and it fills my heart to know how much they appreciate the love I've given to their dog Blossom.
Jill H. says:
Lisa is fantastic! I couldn't imagine someone better or more qualified to watch and walk our puppy. She has been very reliable and very flexible. She is also very knowledgeable about dogs and training. She has even offered her own free time to help us train our dog. I would definitely recommend her!
