Professional Groomer meets Dogtopia
Pet care experience
Professional Groomer, trainer, accepting pets in home for extended stay. Farm, fence, full play room, individualized care, puppies and aged dogs welcome! It’s a dog’s life! Grooming from in- home makes me a home based body. Full availability, 7 days a week - holidays included! Active home with quiet spaces and experienced care. Full care and integration into our daily routine if it works for your pet - we’re up early, go out for potty and doing chores, inside for breakfast, back out for potty, play, and then a nap time while I work on my first client. Low key but active and fun. Free rein of the house unless needed otherwise - dogs allowed in bed with me, or kennels overnight if needed. Couch dwellers and recliner fans welcome!
Reviews
Highly recommend Lindsay. We booked with her last minute for a week. She was very attentive and answered any question I had. She sent me updates on Abby. I felt like my pup was safe and well loved. Abby whimpered the whole way home because she was sad to leave. When we picked up Abby we had a sweet card and a report card on how she was during her stay. We will definitely use Lindsay moving forward. She is amazing!!
Lindsay and her team took great care of our big dog, very thoughtful and great communication.
Geronimo was such a happy fella with Lindsay and her pack of new pals! He says hello to the chickens!
A great fit for my doodle! Super flexible and communicative.
About Lindsay S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I utilize a lot of tools to keep everyone happy, healthy, and safe - kennels, gates, double leashes, double fencing, cameras (indoor and out!) and a very specific routine that I have found works for this little home. Please be aware - dogs need to be kennel trained to board here. I DO use them at feed time, and for nap times as needed, to keep all the dogs in my care safe. I ask that you send your dogs meals pre-packed, or in a reasonable (for their stay) container. Please leave “favorites “ that cannot be replaced at home. This includes beds! I provide fresh, daily, clean toys and blankets, plus raised cot beds. Feed time is 2X per day, with 2X per day “stimulation” snacks prior to nap time. I provide all snacks, but need to know if your pup has a special diet. If your dog has separation anxiety, I really need to know. It doesn’t mean I won’t take your dog, but it DOES mean I have to structure things differently for that particular stay, and rates will be discussed. My own dog has SA, so I understand; I just need the information to plan accordingly.

Information Lindsay S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is good with other dogs; small animals, cats. Any health issues and allergies. Individualized care and setups available as needed.
A typical day
Farm home lifestyle means outdoors, chickens and other small animal care - either with me or, from behind a secure fence if they are not good with small animals and chickens. Full playroom. Structured nap/quiet times and walking trails in the woods. Stimulating afternoon puzzle/snacks.

Availability
As I work from home, as a groomer and on my hobby farm, my availability for in-home boarding is quite high! I generally am not gone from the house longer then 4 hours, unless otherwise noted at bookings. Sunday’s: due to how quickly I’ve become super busy (you guys are great, I appreciate all my clients and their pups!! So much!) I can only be available for drop off and pickup between 7-8 AM, and 6-8 PM. Sunday is Adventure and errand day - if your pup stays the day on Sunday, they’re gonna get to do something super fun - as long as I have your permission. 🐾
