Lindsey was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was very attentive to our dogs needs from initial meeting to end of service. She was great at responding to communication to help us feel comfortable while away. She also was very reliable with visits and made sure our dogs had a good experience. Definitely would work with again!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with the majority of my hands-on experience in the last five years. I currently care for my own dog, Layla, and have also fostered, so I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, routines, and energy levels. I’ve potty trained three dogs, including my own, a foster dog, and a puppy I raised for about six months before transitioning him to my parents. That experience gave me a strong understanding of consistency, structure, and reinforcing good habits. I’ve provided both boarding and in-home pet sitting for multiple households, including homes with multiple dogs and homes with both dogs and cats. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I understand how important consistency, patience, and communication are while owners are away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout stays, and I treat every pet like my own. My dog Layla may accompany me during some house sitting stays depending on the pets and circumstances. She is friendly, social, and has done very well with other dogs during previous stays. I work full-time during weekdays, so I’m typically out of the home for about 9 hours during the day. Pets in my care should be comfortable with that schedule, and I make sure they are exercised, settled, and comfortable before I leave, with plenty of attention, walks, and interaction when I return home. On weekends, I’m much more available and hands-on, which allows for extra walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddle time. Whether I’m boarding, doing daycare, or staying in a client’s home, I aim to maintain each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I provide a safe, clean, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, behavior, and specific needs so I can provide consistent care and maintain the environment they’re used to. I live in an apartment with multiple grassy areas nearby for walks and bathroom breaks, along with an on-site dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. I tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I’m experienced with dogs of different temperaments and can reinforce routines such as feeding schedules, crate training, potty habits, and calm household behavior if needed. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I prioritize safety, communication, cleanliness, and creating a calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 9 years! From puppies to senior dogs and everything in between. I raised a husky from a puppy and rescued another husky. I have experience with administering medicine as both required it in their senior years. I have a fenced in yard that will allow your dog to roam free and get a lot of exercise. I’m currently at home every day of the week so I’m available to have your pet in my home to allow for full-time care! I only leave for short periods of time, allowing for a lot of play time with your pet. I have a fenced in yard that allows for a lot of outdoor exercise! There’s also a shaded patio that allows for a shaded area out of the sun. I have kids that love to play with dogs and will keep your pet active and loved during their stay!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom of two, so I truly understand the importance of trusting the person caring for your pup. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to wise seniors—and I’m comfortable giving medication when needed. Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, a long hike, or some good old-fashioned cuddle time, I tailor each visit to your dog’s energy level and personality. My goal is always to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free. Pet care is naturally built into my daily life—I’m already walking, feeding, and loving on my two dogs every day. Adding extra walks, playtime, and check-ins for your pets fits seamlessly into my routine. I enjoy being active, so heading out for walks or hikes is something I look forward to, not something I “squeeze in.” Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I make pet care a priority and keep a flexible schedule to meet the needs of both pets and their people. When pets are in my care, I treat them as if they were part of my family. In my own home, that means a safe, cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and regular walks to keep them happy and healthy. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—whether that’s mealtime schedules, medication, or favorite bedtime rituals. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet’s space and the family’s. I follow instructions carefully, ensure that food, water, and litter needs are met, and give each pet the level of attention and affection they’re comfortable with. Whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or a calm presence for a shy animal, I adapt to what each pet needs most.

Ava has been a huge help with coming by in the middle of the day to let out and play with our 3 month old Aussie. We were nervous about leaving her when I went back to work, but Delta adjusted very well and gets so excited when Ava comes by. Ava spends the perfect amount of time with her, making sure she gets plenty of opportunities to relive herself, play and get water. She even keeps any eye out for any concerns. We really appreciate her timeliness everyday and flexibility whenever we require a last minute adjustment in the time that she stops by. We will continue to rebook her for drop-ins and hopefully for additional services in the future:)

When I come home, the girls act disappointed as they were expecting Lauren and her family. Lauren does a great job of cheering them up and entertaining them during her visits that they don't get as depressed while I away as usual. She will sing and dance with them, and the girls usually end up learning something new. This trip, Cruise learned to say the Margarita's name, which I haven't succeeded in teaching her in 8+ years! Just shows that they are excited with their visits.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by Golden Retrievers, and in 2005, I adopted a 7-year-old rescue—a sweet beagle/lab mix. Today, I share my home with two wonderful dogs and a rabbit. My pet care journey began by helping family, friends, and neighbors, and it naturally grew into something more. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for over 70 pets in my community. Whether your pet is small, medium, or large—I truly love them all. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer pet care during weekdays, weekends, evenings, and holidays. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, or even overnight stays (depending on availability). Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. Before starting any service, I offer a meet-and-greet to ensure your pet feels safe and happy with me. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for considering me to care for your pet! I have the flexibility to offer pet care during holidays, weekends, and evenings. On the days I’m home, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and—when my schedule allows—overnight house-sitting as well. I would make sure your pet(s) are comfortable with me (with a meet and greet) and will communicate everything I do with your fur baby via photos and videos.
