Mike and Lisa McArthur bring a wealth of life experience to the Sit Means Sit family. After 35 years of marriage, raising three children and building successful careers in Albuquerque, NM, they embarked on an exciting new chapter in 2016. The couple sold everything, embraced RV life and began traveling full-time across the country. Their journey eventually led them to Coastal Bend in 2018, where they immediately fell in love with the area and decided to make Portland their permanent home.

Their connection with Sit Means Sit began when their children surprised them with a puppy named Izzy in 2019. After experiencing training at a big box store, they knew they wanted more comprehensive training for their new family member and became clients at Sit Means Sit.

Mike’s curiosity about the business led him to join the team as a kennel technician, eventually working his way up to become a trainer. Lisa followed suit a year later, taking on an office role. Together, they’ve found their perfect second act as valued members of the Sit Means Sit family.
