About Lisa Novak

Lisa provides mindful in-home dog care, house sitting, and personal assistant support for families throughout Marin County.

Her business was inspired by Raleigh, her beloved chocolate Labrador, who was her best friend, teacher, and confidante. Raleigh’s joyful spirit continues to shape Lisa’s approach to care: present, loyal, attentive, and deeply connected.

Before building her dog care business, Lisa spent more than 30 years in the corporate world, including 22 years working in law. That background informs the way she works today: with professionalism, discretion, reliability, organization, and respect for the homes and families she serves.

Lisa’s care is personal, not transactional. She builds lasting relationships with clients who value trust, loyalty, and peace of mind.

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!
