About

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile, and considering me to transport your precious cargo! I'm an 58 year old Mom, currently living in Northern Virginia with my awesome partner Tim. I've been transporting dogs and cats on Citizen Shipper now for several months, and I also have some experience transporting rescue animals for 2 local rescue groups, as a volunteer. I love animals and donate my time whenever possible to saving them from high kill shelters to other towns where they have a better chance to be adopted or have foster homes waiting for them. My career for the past 20 plus years had been in smaller, local nonprofits, mostly running the resale shops. Running the business side of it (it may be a nonprofit, but the shops need to make money to support the organization!), managing the staff and volunteers. Some volunteers were there because they just enjoyed it and wanted to support the organization, some were students needing hours for school/church/etc., but most were community service volunteers who were court ordered to do volunteer hours for some infraction, like a speeding ticket. I affectionately call them my "naughty kids". I now spend my time taking as many road trips as I can, mostly to hike and visit National Parks, and spending time in my workshop, refinishing and upcycling furniture. I'm passionate about saving good but ugly furniture from the landfill and making it attractive and useful again. I enjoy travel, seeing everything there is to see, cooking with my son and his girlfriend back home in the Chicago area, spending lots of time with my partner, Tim and his adult son Connor, who has Down Syndrome. Connor is a movie buff and knows the words to every Christmas song I can find to play for him. Tim is training to be a dog trainer and works at a local K9 training and boarding center. He was in the Army as a K9 handler back in the day, has a prosthetic leg, can still hike, swim and mostly keep up with me, and he may occasionally be able to join me to transport items for Citizen Shipper. I'm a foodie, love the beach and the mountains, but mostly the beach, a good cook, care deeply for my fellow human beings and for animals of all types. Every living creature has a purpose and a place in this world/food chain, even if they are ugly and creepy - LOL! As far as transporting your beloved animal, I would love to be considered. I will not guarantee to be the lowest bidder, but I do guarantee to care for and protect them like they are my own. Oh, and my family back in Chicago has 5 cats now! All are rescues, and I adopted 4 of them with my former husband and our son - Caesar, Brutus (of course!), Claudius and Augustus. My son and his girlfriend rescue/care for the neighborhood strays as well. I'm a proud Mom to have raised a sweet and caring kid, who's now an adult. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, and I'll be happy to chat with you to see if it's a good fit for both of us. Please message me before booking to confirm date of transport, etc. It’s possible that I’m bidding on more than one transport for a given time, so I want to be sure we are on the same page. Thanks!

Lisa shipped my 90 Pound Golden Retriever from Chantilly VA to Schaumburg. She was simply perfect. An animal lover herself , who put my pet before her convenience, she ensured that Pet did not have to face the extreme heatwave ( delayed her start), drove all the way from Chantilly to Chicago ensuring her breaks were adjusted to pet's conveneince, kept us updated about the progress and had a full report for us on what pet ate / when they ate etc. ( infact my pet wanted to get back in the car for another ride with her). Lisa , many thanks for showering him with all the love and also shipping my pet to our home in your car.

Lisa was very well-prepared and took excellent care of my cats, and got them there in good time. I would definitely hire her again.

Ms. Lisa done an OUTSTANDING job in transporting our family pet on a a 12-hour drive. She kept us abreast of their every stop and treated our pet as her own. It was quite obvious that Ms. Lisa does this (transportation of pets), out of the kindness of her heart and not just for money. I feel in my heart that she’s a very SPECIAL person that you can trust in transporting your pet(s). May she continued to be Blessed along the way. -Joyce-

Lisa was an extraordinary driver who really cares and treats your animal like her own. she communicated with me throughout the entire trip , shared her ETA, sent updated pictures, and fed and took bathroom breaks plenty of times throughout the trip. She was an amazing driver I was so glad to have her transport my new puppy home!

This was the easiest and stress free experience for me as a first time user. Lisa communicated everything from pick up of my beautiful new puppy to updates along the way. Very reassuring and professional. Nice Job Lisa. Rate was very reasonable as well. No worries here.
