Hi, I’m Lisa — your Northern Suburbs dog walker, petvisitor, and home-away-from-home for your dogs! 

I’m a total dog lover and have owned Labradors, Dachshunds,Wolfhounds, and lots of rescue “mixes” over the years. I've also had too manycats to count! Prior to having my two daughters, I volunteered at the Dogs
Refuge Home for many years and ran a successful dog-sitting business. 

I’m available for:

Dog walks

Visiting your dog in your home while you’re at work or on
holidays

Dog day visits/playdates at my home

Overnight stays at my home in Woodvale

We have a large, secure garden with plenty of enrichment opportunities. Pampered pooches are also welcome inside if they prefer — we even have two sizes of dog doors, so dogs can freely move between the house and garden. 

I live with my husband, two daughters, and our therapy-trained Labrador, Luna 🐾 She’s 6 years old and
loves coming along on walks, especially if your dog needs a little confidence boost. 

Walks are fully tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m happy to walk all breeds and dogs with all sorts of social skills. I come armed with lots of treats to help with focus and to make sure every walk is fun and
positive! If recall isn’t quite there yet (no judgement — it’s a tough one!), we’re more than happy to stay on the lead so they can still explore safely. We can walk around the neighbourhood, parks, bush trails, or beach. My typical walk is around 30 minutes, but longer walks can easily be arranged for those
pups that need to be really worn out! 

Some key details: 

🐕 Dog walks – Typically 30 minutes, with longer walks available for energetic pooches 

🏡 Dog day visits – Up to 9 hours so you can enjoy a full workday without worry (extended stays
available) 

🐾 Drop-in home visits –I’m happy to feed, play, refresh water, or just keep your pet company when
you’re away or have a busy schedule 

🛏️ Dog boarding in my home– Loving, relaxed stays in our family home with free access to cuddles and
care. As we have children and our own dog, I ask a few questions to ensure your pup is a great fit — we want everyone to feel happy and safe. I offer a free meet and greet, and you’re very welcome to meet the family for peace of mind. 

I’m also a keen photographer, so I’ll always try to send you a happy snap of your dog having the best time 📸🐶 Check out @ladyandthelead on Facebook and Instagram to see some of my dogs in action! 

I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member 🐾
