Lisa Reviews

4.9 Rating 11 Reviews

I am recently retired and an empty nester and wanting to experience living in new areas. I have recent experience caring for smallish dogs, cats, fish, a snail and a sour dough starter needing attention weekly! I am a bit of a pet whisperer, owners often saying how calm they are when they arrive home. Also apparently the first loaf of sourdough after I tended to the starter tasted better than previous loaves!
I grew up with various farm animals too so willing to try almost anything with instruction.
I am very house proud and the sort of person that has always received the entire bond back when renting even in my early life. In fact the owner of the real estate agency I rented from for the last 5 years until June 2022 is happy to be a phone reference.
I love animals and am just as happy in the garden weeding and mowing and capable of light maintenance. I am a good communicator and always happy to give regular updates.
I am a bit of a home body and my hobbies are crafty things, gardening, reading, walking, researching stuff on the internet, music, singing, movies and catching up with grandchildren on facetime. My evenings are pretty much exclusively at home from 5pm as I watch The Chase.
I have a current Police check, many reviews on this site and I can supply written references via email and phone re my pet care and housekeeping.
I am always available to do phone, wattsap video, facetime or face to face interviews to answer any questions you may have.
I started house/petsitting thinking it would be short term but I love it and often get invited back. I am still looking to explore new areas though.

“Lisa looked after Piper and Phoebe for 3 weeks. I came home to 2 very happy and well looked after dogs. My home was well looked after, Lisa even did my weeding!. All my neighbours told me about all the walks Lisa took my girls on, they loved it. I received regular updates and photos. I would always welcome Lisa to look after my girls any time. Thank you, Lisa. I highly recommend this lovely lady.”

“We were lucky to have Lisa to sit for us in October/November for almost a month. She took good care of Meimei and Moremore. She followed our instructions carefully. She sent photos and chat with us on a regular basis. She kept our house and garden clean and neat. We have had few sitters in the past and we think she is the best. We would highly recommend Lisa to be your sitter if you are looking for one. Billie from Wahroonga”

“Such a beautiful woman is Lisa, honest, reliable and super caring. This is the 3rd time we have been lucky enough to secure Lisa for a pet sit of our elderly cat and dog. Both our pets were super excited to see Lisa again and disgruntled when we returned home. Both were so loved and well cared for, and all of their quirky ways met to a tee. The house was spot less and plants thriving. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone who was lucky enough to secure her to petsit. Thank you Lisa.”

“We first met Lisa 6 years ago through Mindahome, and have been lucky enough to have her house-sit for us multiple times since then. Lisa is the best! She is extremely principled and reliable, and always goes 'above and beyond' on every level. With her nursing background, she has confidently managed our dogs' various medical issues that have come with ageing. Our house is always left spotless, the pool skimmed, the outdoor areas swept and tidy (this time it also involved raking up huge quantities of autumn leaves, which we told her not to bother with, but of course she did anyway!). This is the kind of person Lisa is. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“I highly recommend Lisa; she is just fabulous. Lisa is prompt in communication, thorough in following/providing instructions, just an absolute pleasure to deal with. We received regular updates from Lisa while we were away with photos of our beloved puppies. She is very easy to communicate with, nothing was ever an issue. Will definitely look to ask Lisa to stay again.”

“Lisa was FABULOUS! We can't say enough about the way she cared for our two little dogs. She didn't hesitate to contact with questions, and we could tell she genuinely cared for our dogs. She walked our dogs daily and sent pictures of them sitting in her lap and playing with them. Upon return, our house was immaculately clean the way we left it- and she even washed the sheets and remade the bed. We would highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter as she is responsible and diligent in her care.”

“Lisa looked after our two fifteen year old cats very well. They had their medication daily and also got brushed and had play time each day. They even got a new toy. They both looked well and content when we got home after six weeks. The house was clean and obviously respected by Lisa.”
