  Description

  Hello, I am Lisa , a semi-retired woman who enjoys traveling, but also appreciates the peace and comfort of my cozy home. I also love to visit my grandchild that lives in Belgium several times a year. When I'm away it's important to me to know my home and pets are in caring, loving hands.
  
  My home is located in the lower Adirondack Park, with lake access. Although summer activities, like paddle boarding and swimming are fun, this area truly is a four season destination. Leaf peeping and pumpkin and apple picking in the fall and snowshoeing, ice fishing, and nearby skiing, alpine and cross country, in the winter.
  
  Enjoy a short 45 minute drive to Saratoga for exceptional restaurants, boutique shopping, cultural events, and entertainment.
  
  My two beloved pets are Bear who is a sweet, gentle senior dog and Boris, an adorable and also senior cat.

  Help

  While I'm away, the priority is the pet care. Feeding, walking Bear, and keeping the litter box area tidy. I also have a few plants that require watering. Keeping the house overall clean is important to me too. If outdoor chores are in your wheelhouse, in the fall leaf clean up would be helpful and in the summer mowing the lawn. I also have a leaf blower (electric) to keep the leaves and debris off the deck, patio, and entry steps.
