Welcome to my webpage! I offer dog walks and cat visits to people living in Glover Park and the nearby neighborhoods of Cathedral, Observatory, and Wesley Heights. I established my business in 2016 and have grown through word-of-mouth recommendations.
I build a relationship with your furry family members by watching their behavior. I build a relationship with you by sending you a text containing a summary of the walk or visit.

Lisa exceeds my expectations every time! She walks [Oscar] five times a week, and she's the first person he's ever gone 'potty' for. She truly has a gift for animals, and her text update after each walk is the highlight of my day every time (especially when she includes photos!) --N.J. Glover Park
Lisa took our dogs on long walks, played, and interacted with them. I am blown away by the customer service we received, especially the patience and understanding shown by Lisa. I usually worry myself sick when I have to leave my dogs but with Lisa I knew my dogs were safe and loved. Thank you, Lisa!! E.H. Observatory Heights
Lisa was absolutely wonderful. We booked Lisa for a two night house sitting, and she took terrific care of our senior dog. Lisa is an absolute professional and we will definitely be a return customer.

Outstanding! Lisa has provided excellent care to our pets while we were away. We came back to happy and healthy doggies! Lisa is very easy to work with and accommodated our pets' needs.

Lisa took the very best of care with Bella, who had just arrived in the U.S.A from London. Bella is shy and Lisa took the time to get to know her, build up her trust, and soon Bella was greeting her like an old friend every time she arrived. I couldn't have asked for more.

I can't say enough good things about Lisa. She takes such great care of my dog on a daily basis while I am at work and genuinely cares about his well-being. She takes him for fun long walks or to the dog park, gives him special attention, and makes sure to refill his water bowl before leaving. She always gives me a thorough update of everything they did when she visited and any behaviors she's noticing. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to take great care of your dog. --AW Glover Park
I am a former newspaper reporter and nonprofit communications professional. After 25 years in the field, I decided to pursue my own business career.
Of course I love dogs and cats and people too!
As a business owner my word of mouth recommendations are most important to me. I earned my clients' trust with integrity and reliability. I produced high customer satisfaction through lots of communication and exceeding their pet care expectations. Plus my journal reading creates dogs and cats that are happy, well-loved and cared for.
By establishing my company Lisa's Leashes DC, I channel my passion for your dog or cat's benefit.
As a pet owner, I understand how important it is to trust someone to take care of your beloved animal.
I have a committment to continuous education, training, and reading.
I read several journals,follow veterinarian associations, animal behaviorists, training experts, and even microbiologists.
I earned my bachelor's in journalism from the University of Maryland. I grew up in a suburb of New York City, and lived in rural Louisiana.
I have traveled extensively through the U.S. and have been living with my husband in the Glover Park section of Washington, DC since 1998.
I look forward to hearing from you!
