Paws & Kisses is Excited to Announce a New Staff Member

Lisa Spinelli has lived in the Valley her whole life, and has had dogs for as long as she can remember. As a child, Lisa would often bring home stray dogs and other animals. Lisa is currently the proud pet parent to six dogs, including an English Springer Spaniel, a Pug/Chihuahua mix and 4 Dachshunds. Lisa also shares her home with two birds: a Yellow Nape Amazon and a Cockatiel.




Sharing her home with multiple pets all her life has given Lisa a breadth of experience in caring for furred and feathered beings. Lisa's friends and family often turn to her for help and advice on pet care issues. She has helped several rescue dogs stay in their adopted homes by providing behavioral training to both the dogs and their humans.



Lisa and her family own several local businesses, including Valley Floor Service, LLC and VP Printing, both based in Ansonia. However, Lisa's passion lies with her furred and feathered friends. She is extremely excited to begin a career in pet-sitting and cannot wait to share her compassion for animals with others.
