About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds throughout the last 10 years. Friends and family have relied on me to walk them, feed them, and provide any other care needed! I’m a teacher on summer break and have plenty of time to care for your pet. Will be available most weekdays and weekends to attend to your pups. I will treat your pet as my own, providing extra love and care as needed, as well as treating your space as my own and making sure all feel safe and comfortable.
“First time using Rover and it was a great experience. Lindsey was wonderful. She took great care of my two guinea pigs, Sam and Dean while I was on vacation. She set up a meet and greet beforehand and I instantly felt at ease with her. She came to my home everyday for a week to make sure they had everything they needed - fresh water, hay, food, and veggies. She cleaned up and switched out their bedding when needed. She updated me throughout the week and also included pictures. It’s hard to leave pets behind when you go away so I really appreciated that. I highly recommend Lindsey for your pet care needs. :)”
“Leah was fantastic! Took great care of our two kitties, even tracking them down when they were shy/hiding. She gave us great peace of mind while on vacation.”
“Anna was a great help and so friendly and reliable!”
“Lydia is the sweetest and the best! Constant updates about the walk and the cutest pictures of my pup on top of that. He is happy, tired, and stress-free after his walks. I've never seen him nap better when we are not at home (we have a camera to check in on him throughout the day). A million thank yous to Lydia! :)”
“Jane did a great job with my hand-biting, pooping-in-the-tub, darting-out-the-door handful of a cat. I love my cat, but she is no doubt difficult. Jane handled her expertly and was willing to extend the stay as circumstances dictates. Would hire again!”

Lisa N.
“If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Lisa is the one. She’s reliable, patient, and genuinely loves animals. My pup warmed up to her instantly—and that’s saying a lot, because he’s usually shy around new people. Lisa goes above and beyond, whether it's making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise or sending adorable photo updates that brighten your day. Her calm energy and attention to detail give you total peace of mind. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my four-legged best friend.”
