“Lindsay was very professional and was very good at looking after our kitties while we were gone. She provided regular photos and written updates and got our kitties to trust and spend time with her in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend her without any reservations. She also alerted us when a tree fell in our yard. She is the best!”
“We are super thankful to have Dawn to spend some time with jag and take care of him while we were away for a week. She’s very nice and responsive in letting us know that jag was taken care of. We would certainly have her back if we go away again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and trained puppies since I was little. I have continued living with roommates with dogs after moving away from home, and love helping out with watching and walking them. I wish I could have my own dog but my current circumstances would not be the best for it, so I treat every dog I interact with with the same love that I would give my own! :) I currently have a full time job and work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm. I can check on pets during my lunch break if you are located in Marathon. My weekends are usually free and I can come by or stay for most of the day. I can follow any directions you have for your pet! I know everyone is different, and every pet is different, so I am very flexible when it comes to care. One thing across the board is I will give your pets lots of love and attention :)
About: Working from home gives me plenty of time for cuddles, walks and belly rubs. I have raised cairn terriers my whole life but love all dogs and am happy to help out anytime! I work from home and make my own schedule, happy to help out anytime. I live in a gated community with a great outdoor space that’s perfect for long walks. My two cairn terriers are my kids. They are always by my side or on my lap. We have a basket of toys and play all the time. We also have a great lanai which is perfect for the pups to get some fresh air anytime.

I am Fear Free certified and have extensive experience with nervous animals, always leading with patience and compassion. I am comfortable administering medications and injections as well. Above all, it is my priority to ensure your pets feel safe, loved and cared for while you are away. They will get plenty of attention, affection and love while under my care! My typical work schedule is 8am-5pm, Tuesdays-Saturdays with a hour lunch break in the afternoon. I work in events so my schedule can vary each week. Sundays and Mondays are typically my most flexible days. I spend as much time as possible with the pets I watch to ensure they don’t feel lonely, providing lots of attention, play and love.
