About Lisa

My name is Lisa Mallabar.  I have been a dog lover all of my life.  My first dog, Dude, was a Collie/Shepard Mix.  He was such a wonderful dog.  He lived to be 15 years old.  Toward the end of his life, he had to have special care, which I provided for him.  He passed away in August 2005.  Now we have a Golden Retriever, Gracie.  Recently, Gracie passed her test to become a Therapy Dog.    She is well behaved, and loves to interact with other dogs.    
Before I started this business, many friends, and family members, commented on my positive, natural connection with animals, and often asked me to care for their own pets while they were away. 
It dawned on me that I could make a business doing this service.  So, here I am!!  Not very often do people love what they do for a living.  It took me a long time to figure it out, and I am thankful that I finally did.
I  graduated from Champlain College in 1991 with an Associates degree in Business.
I reside in Colchester with my husband, Jim and my three school age children.  They are very supportive, and I appreciate them very much.
