Patience shot past all of my requirements for a pet sitter blasted away my expectations. She was so good that I quickly hired her as a dog trainer to work with the dogs when I wasn't around. She's reliable, excellent with the dogs, patient with puppies, and vibrant to work with. Her own dog training clients adore her, and her results are excellent. If I can't take someone on, I refer them to her with no qualms whatsoever. I hope you are lucky enough to work with her!

Hired her last year in August. Went through an extensive interview/introduction meeting prior to…read moreuse. Took lots of notes, pictures, videos of how to do things. Some things I thought didn't need pictures or videos... But thought she was being thorough. First few visits got lots of text messages about questions, concerns, comments. Again, didn't think too much of it thought she was being thorough. Then started getting phone calls at work that were not emergencies, had to tell her to text my mom, my daughter or myself and one of us would respond. Even though this was all discussed at the interview/introduction meeting and in writing on her form. When I first interviewed her, I told her my old girl might need her bottom washed once in a while if she had an accident and she said she was fine with that. A few months after being with us, she decided she didn't want to do that if the need of arose. I took a pause on using her even though I had prepaid visits due to this. So family was helping take care of the animals and I wasn't using my paid visits. Fast-forward to today I had to hire her because the family that was helping me with my dogs is hospitalized at this point. We went through lots of things last night through text messages and notes on the counter today walking her through everything. I started to get lots of text messages today because she couldn't contain my four month old puppy. She couldn't get her back in the kennel. She couldn't get her into a gates off area in the hallway, catch her and put her back in her kennel. When asked if she could do that, she said she didn't want to that she might be bit. The puppy was barking at her because she was afraid, but the puppy would not have bitten her. She knows that some of the dogs that I have don't get along with each other hence the baby gates and she was making comments about walking them through the family room to go out to go potty even though the one dog who doesn't get along with others is baby gated in the family room. You would have to go through her area to get outside, which wouldn't be a safe alternative. Also with the dogs "being afraid of her" I wouldn't want her to open the door and take them outside with the option of them getting loose, lost or hit by cars. I asked her to get the puppy into the kitchen so that she had one area to be contained in and was safe. I didn't think I would have to educate a dog sitter/dog owner to puppy proof the kitchen before she left. I left work early and rushed home because I couldn't see the puppy on camera. When I got home I walked into a huge mess. The puppy had torn up all kinds of dog diapers, gotten into dog shampoo, destroyed an entire full pack of baby wipes. Plus, there was two things that are electrical plugged in the area. The puppy chewed on one item. It's just shocking that someone that has a dog and has a business that's around animals couldn't think outside the box. Needless to say, I've terminated our contract and will not be using her again. I would not recommend using her to anyone. Per owners response: I appreciate the questions but when I have answered the questions and you repeatedly do not follow the response that is very frustrating. Usually someone hires you because they can not be available such as work. When you can't follow the agreed upon instructions and have to repeatedly text or call the number for emergencies only and not really an emergency it gets very hard to continue to do business with you. You may have received training but you are very much lacking in common sense. You were given multiple ways to contain a puppy. None of which you wanted to follow. So finally because I had to go back to work I said contain in kitchen. Though I never thought I would have to hand hold you and tell you to pick up everything she could get into especially if you have had training! Also she is not fearful nor has she bit anyone. So it may be you! With all the training you state you have had I am surprised you couldn't manage a 4 mo old puppy. You also seemed to struggle with my clear directions of separation of specific dogs for safety. You wanted to walk 2 of them through an area where a dog was that would be a safety issue. To move said dog you would need to take her into the kitchen where the puppy was you couldn't contain. So again compromising safety. I spent a 45 minute commute home one wondering if my dogs were secure in the home, two if my puppy was secure or missing because she could not be seen or heard on camera, three my geriatric dog you were initially hired for was on the ground and not on her bed. Plus when I got home she had an accident which leads me to believe she did not relieve herself even though you said you took her out. Ultimately, I think people need to understand that you don't follow through with what you say you're going to do. And you come across as knowledgeable, but you don't know how to handle specific situations that are not that hard to handle.

Esther and Brian are 'family' to us. We have a very large furry family, and over the last few…read moreyears, Esther and Brian have been partners with us in their care. All of our babies are special need in one way or another. But when we need to head out of town, Esther and Brian do not hesitate to jump in and provide the love and care that my little furry angels need. For the last few years, a collective family consisting of a dog, a turtle, 15 cats, 9 racoons, 16 skunks, and 3 possums, have never needed to know a day without care, a night without love, nor a morning of hunger. Whether it was multiple visits each day to come and spend time with the babies, or the occasional "slumber party" when around the clock/overnight care was needed, my babies always felt loved and safe. They do it all! Feedings, playing, medications, cleaning the pet areas, hanging out/couch time, snack time...all of it! And Esther and Brian are always available even when life throws you surprises, and you have no notice, they are just a call away. They not only have the key to our house, but they have the key to all of our hearts.

We have 4 dogs (5 when Lisa started), and each of them loves her like a favorite chew toy. She quickly discovers each dogs' personality quirks, what they like, love, and respond to, and she gives each of them loving attention. With 4 small dogs, there are lots of personalities and petty jealousies in our house. Lisa is undeterred. Our shy dog is allowed the space she needs. Our needy dog gets extra belly rubs. Our toy-obsessed dog nabs more toys from Lisa than he can play with (he thinks she is Santa Claus!) And our senior dog gets gentle affection. Lisa pays close attention and reports back what she sees. Her advice is always helpful. She turned us on to Dasquin, for example, which helps senior dogs with their joints and arthritic symptoms. She swears by pumpkin for an upset tummy, and now we do too--dogs love it. She notices when a dog needs a sweater or is wearing a pretty new dress. Lisa is a perfect dog mom for those times when you can't be there yourself. Our crazy menagerie of pups approve this message!

The two staff were already scurrying out the front doors as we arrived and refused to take our dog. They said they had already locked up the back and if we tried to leave him there they would call the police for animal abandonment! I have never been more stressed out in my life as we frantically tried to find a place to take our dog with no notice and rushed to the airport. It ruined our vacation. We have never been back since.
