Meet Lisa

Hi, I’m Lisa, the owner of Paw & Porch Home & Pet Care LLC.

Originally from Germany, I now call Orlando home.

I created Paw & Porch for families, travelers, and pet owners who want someone dependable and caring to look after the little things that matter most. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person entering your home and caring for your pets, which is why I focus on being respectful, reliable, and easy to communicate with from the very first visit.

I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and the small routines that help them feel safe and comfortable. I love going for walks—especially when a four-legged companion can join me.

My goal is to make Paw & Porch feel personal, trustworthy, and familiar—like having a helping hand you can count on.

Our Philosophy

At Paw & Porch, we believe home and pet care should feel personal, reliable, and stress-free.

Every visit is handled with care, attention to detail, and respect for your home. Whether we are caring for your pets, checking on your house while you are away, or helping keep your space refreshed, our goal is to give you complete peace of mind.

Our approach is simple: personalized care, reliable communication, and attention to detail.
