The Chaney family has been animal lovers all of their lives, having dogs, cats, turtles and fish as pets. During their marriage, Lisa and Ray had the memorable experiences together of loving and nurturing:
* A 4-month old dog from the Humane Society (mixed-breed puppy) named Mahja, who lived to be 16 years old.
* An adopted 7-week old puppy dog (Bichon Frise) they named Andre', who recently passed away at 14.5 years old.
* A young bird (parakeet) named Scooter, who lived to be 12 years old.
* A rescued bird (cockatiel) named Tiel, who lived to three years old.
* An adorable 3-year old dog (golden doodle) named Cody, whom they rescued in February, 2010.
* A lively rescued 2-year dog, (Labrador/Shepherd) named Donte', as their grand-dog, owned by their son.
Why Petsitting?
Ray always told Lisa there is a magical attraction and connection to her for children and animals and that one day she
had to follow her heart. While grieving the loss of their beloved dog Andre', this past February, Lisa realized her
need to connect with animals. The emotional debate began whether to adopt another pet so soon, but the quiet of the
house was too great. A wise friend at the veterinarian clinic told Lisa she was not replacing Andre', as no other
animal could, but she had so much love in her heart for another! After several weeks of searching on the internet and
going to see all the dogs looking for their "forever homes" Lisa and Ray adopted a precious rescue, Cody, a loving
1-year old Cock-a-Poo. No more quiet house! A few weeks later, Lisa and Ray decided to give their hearts to other
pets as well, caring for all pets as if they were their own...and so the idea of Just a "Pet" Away was born!

I will be calling you again soon! :)"
