About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over five years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic pet (most recently, an axolotl!). I have two dogs and a cat of my own, though they’re currently living out of state—so I’m really missing the daily joy of having pets around. I'm a responsible and reliable professional with a full-time job (8 AM – 4 PM), so I’m available for care in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m experienced with senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra care for animals with specific needs. I always aim to follow your instructions closely and make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or special care—I'm here to help and treat your pet like family. I’m a full-time professional with a work schedule from 8 AM to 4 PM, which means I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, check-ins, walks, or cuddle time outside of those work hours. If you're planning a trip or need consistent care during non-work hours, I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I create a calm, nurturing environment where animals feel secure, respected, and loved. In your home, I follow your routines closely and maintain a clean, low-stress environment so your pet feels safe while you're away. I value building trust—with both pets and their people—so I always communicate clearly and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, your dog will get plenty of leashed walks, fresh air, and attention. I make sure they get the exercise, care, and affection they need, all while staying safe and secure. Your pet’s well-being is everything to me, and I care for them as if they were my own.
“Best possible care I can ask for !! My dog is always happy and feeling good and is clean just like I had left him. Lindsay you Rock !! Always a job well done and this puts my mind as ease when I leave him under her care !! I will continue to give my dog the best care I have found !! Thank you Lindsay !!”
About: I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands when you’re away - I’ve spent my entire life caring for dogs, cats, and birds I work remotely for the most part so I'm flexible. I can work my other job at my pace and can ensure your fur baby has plenty of attention. My home has a fenced yard. I have a spare room if your animal like their space. I enjoy outside time if your animals likes walks.
