The Heart Behind the Care
Get to know the passionate founder behind our approach to dog care
Lisa Whitmore
With 16 years of experience specializing in dog behavior and communication, I work with pet parents to support every aspect of their dog’s life, from puppyhood to their final moments. My journey began with my rescue dog, Poppy As a first-time dog owner, I didn’t know much about dogs, but the more I learned, the more I realized Poppy wasn’t receiving the care she deserved. I went all in, quitting my corporate job in the city to create a dog walking service tailored specifically to Poppy’s needs.
​
Through continuous education, research, and a deep passion for dog behavior, training, animal communication, and strengthening the human-dog bond, I’ve grown Paws Harmony into something significant. My services now include dog training, coaching, animal communication, nutrition, and emotional support for pet parents navigating the journey of their pets’ end-of-life experience.
In Loving Memory of Poppy
Poppy
This was Poppy—the heart behind it all. We found each other in Wilton, CT, and from that day on, she filled our lives with love, laughter, and long walks. Poppy’s playful spirit and gentle nature inspired the creation of Paws Harmony, a service rooted in care, connection, and joy. She welcomed every dog with warmth and helped shape the way we support families and their furry companions. Though she’s no longer by our side, her legacy lives on in every happy tail and wagging walk.
