About me


My name is Lisa Dodge Grau and I live with my husband in the Santa Fe area of Tennessee, between Columbia and Leiper's Fork. We have eight animals ourselves, 2 horses, 5 dogs and 1 very confident cat. 

I am extremely conscientious and detail oriented - but most of all, I love all animals. I believe that consistent, positive human contact is as important as good care and appropriate training for the health and happiness of one's pets. In other words, lots of LOVE AND ATTENTION!! That, along with meticulous professionalism, is the focus of my service. I came to this business because I had such a hard time finding the level of care that I desire for my own animals - and I understand first hand the kind of stress that leaving your pets can bring. I hope to be the help you are looking for.


Experience    


I have been around and LOVED animals all my life. I have had LOTS of experience sitting, handling and caring for all sorts of animals all my life. I expect a very high level of care from someone watching over my pets and I strive to go above and beyond that bar of excellence for all my clients. 

I am comfortable handling large hoofed animals as well as small critters with paws, wings or scales!

I can give most medications, special feedings, walks and brushings. And I will always give lots of love and attention to dogs and cats that miss their people.

Rates:     

I offer top quality services and try to keep rates as low as possible. Please contact me for a rate estimate as it will vary depending on location, number and types of pets and the particular needs of your pets.

My rates generally start at $20.00 a visit (for the 1st visit of the day, $17.00 for any extra visits)and are customized as fairly as possible to fit each situation.

  • Dog walking alone: 30 minute walk for up to two dogs: starts at $20.00. Package rates (discounted!) available. 


Pet Taxi:      

I can take your pet(s) to the vet, to the groomer, or anywhere else they need to go. I will wait for them if necessary and get them home safe and sound, with all the paper work, reports and instructions! This service is $20.00 an hour, starting and ending at your home, with a minimum of 1 hour.


To Get Started:

All of my services begin with an free initial consultation in your home. This meeting gives me the opportunity to meet you and your pets, get acquainted with your home and get an idea of how you would like things done. During this meeting you should expect:

  •  a short interview to gather information about your pet(s)
  •  to complete a veterinary release form
  •  to give me a copy of your house key
  •  to agree on a customized care program and rate
  • to sign a service agreement

Never feel the stress of leaving your pets to the 

unknown again! 

Let me take that out of the equation - 

you'll be HAPPY you did!
