Lisa started her business after gaining experience working with various breeds of dogs including fostering for local rescue organizations and working at boarding kennels and dog daycare facilities, while at the same time testing the waters with a few private walking and daycare clients.

Lisa has attended numerous seminars on Dog Behavior and Training, including Dog Aggression:  Biting and Fighting; Training Adult Dogs; Puppy Classes and Games with Dr. Ian Dunbar; Dog to Dog and Dog to Human aggression indepth seminar with Cheryl Smith.  Lisa is also trained in Pet First Aid and Clicker Training and undertakes continuing education in her chosen profession.

In celebration of Petplaylands 10^th Anniversary Lisa is pleased to offer a 10% discount to her full time clients on one hour walks, and a 5% discount to her Part time clients (3 days per week). (Some conditions apply.)

Lisa has two dogs of her own....both Miniature Schnauzers.....Megan and Carly.  Both dogs are or were involved in dog showing and Lisa was instrumental in preparing them for the show ring by providing them with proper puppy socialization, lead training and body conditioning through proper exercise. She keeps them happy, active and healthy with long walks, jogging and agility activities.  Lisa adores her “girls” and says they are a tenacious breed who have lots of love to give and who like to throw in occasional challenges to keep her on her toes. Lisa willingly and lovingly accepts the daily challenges they give her!!

Lisa’s client base ranges from professional people who love their dogs but can't always be there to meet their needs, to Seniors who adore their companions and need a little extra help keeping them fit, healthy & happy.  Clients who need their home and pets cared for while on vacation or away for business is also a large and sought after part of her business.

Lisa’s hobbies include fitness classes, jogging and boot camp. She is a certified fitness instructor and teaches fitness classes in her spare time. You can check out her fitness classes Mon/Wed/Fri am at the Newlands Golf Club.  Being cared for by an athletic and health conscious individual ensures that your pets get the exercise & structured day needed to keep them well balanced at home.

Please feel free to check Lisa out on Facebook as she is always posting new photos of her clients, the group walks and the beautiful scenery they encounter along the way.

Lisa is available by phone or email and looks forward to meeting you and your pets!

Bonded & Insured. A history of excellence!!
