Hi, my name is Lisa Mattioli and I have been caring for pets my entire life. I have always enjoyed taking care of my neighbors’, family, and friends’ pets when they were away. I have a background as a preschool teacher and have degrees in early childhood and elementary education. I began petsitting professionally part time after my beloved dog Poco passed away. I missed the companionship that pets provide but wasn’t quite ready to adopt another dog. I quickly discovered that my services were in great demand and had to decide between my love for working with children and my passion caring for animals. I decided to start my own full time petsitting/dogwalking business, Lisa’s Pet Care Services, located in Sausalito, California just north of San Francisco in Marin County. My business was a great success and I will always have fond memories of all the critters and their people who have touched my life.
   
     
I am originally from the East and wanted to move back to be closer to my family. With the help of my husband Bruce we have formed Pisgah Petsitters here in beautiful Asheville NC. He has a background as a chef/manager for a non-profit environmental education organization serving children and adults, and has a degree in Anthropology. He is also a lifelong animal lover with experience in dog training/behavior. We are a wife/husband team and are certified in Pet First Aid and CPR.

We have fostered and helped rescue many animals. We have both had pets our entire life ranging from cats, to tiny toy Chihuahuas and larger mixed breed dogs. One of our specialties is caring for small breed dogs. We have always had toy and small dogs, and we understand their needs, behavior and temperament. We presently share our home with, Stanley, a feisty Maltese, Eva a sweet Golden Retriever, and our kooky cat XT. We believe strongly in the importance that pets play in all of our lives and we are dedicated to what we call a “petsitting lifestyle”, one that is centered around caring for our pets and yours.
