Pet care experience
Let's be FURends!
Hello, I'm Lindsay! Animals mean so much to me. Dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it! I started fostering kittens at a young age, walking dogs at local animal shelters, and pet sitting for friends and family. I've also worked as a canine coach and kennel attendant at a boarding facility. The animals I have been blessed to care for hold a special place in my heart, and I love them like my own. I've had dogs and cats as pets my whole life, but really they are family and my most cherished best friends! Currently, I have a Bordercollie named Sadie, and a Goldendoodle named Griffen. They have completely opposite personalities and temperaments, but with time, attention, and training, they have become a tight-knit, loving duo. It has been a fun learning experience getting to know them and establishing our daily routines! I think a routine is very important when it comes to having a pet. Routines establish structure, and can reduce anxiety and support the mental and physical health of an animal. My dogs are notably happier and healthier with regular mealtimes, for example. Sadie and Griffen have this internal clock that goes off every day at 5PM (dinner time). You'd think it was Christmas or something! I love watching them prance into the kitchen with excitement. "Potty time" and daily exercise are also important parts of a routine, promoting healthy metabolisms and good digestion! I take my dogs to the park and feel joy because we are all getting exercise. Sadie loves to play fetch, and it's Griffen's mission to sniff every inch of grass. If your doggy has their own routine, I am happy to follow it! If they are a little shy, I will take my time in getting close to them while speaking in a soft tone. I want them to feel comfortable. I can understand shy dogs because I am that way myself. If your dog is extroverted with a lot of energy, I can confidently care for them too! My brother's Australian Shepherd, Arya, is a big ball of energy and I love spending time with her.

Safety, trust & environment
When visiting your home, it is my top priority to be respectful of the space and environment. I can play with your fur babies, administer oral medications if needed, give them belly rubs, feed them treats, and take them out to potty!
Ratings and reviews
She was considerate, caring and very thorough.
My husband and I were thrilled with Lindsay and her obvious and genuine care for our cats Foxy and Maizy. It was also very clear that our cats felt comfortable with Lindsay.We were both a bit hesitant about having a cat sitter and Lindsay certainly erased any concern that we had. Lindsay sent loving comments and beautiful pictures of our dear Cats. She made certain that things were left in good order and clean. Thank you, Lindsay.
Lindsay cares about our dog Charlie as if he was her own. She’s very professional, has great communication and I truly appreciate that she always takes the time to write a note about each walk. I highly recommend her!
Lindsay was awesome! She made sure our sweet bulldog was well taken cared of & loved while we were away. I’d hire her again in a second!
Lindsay was great to work with and our dog Leia loved working and walking with her. Lindsay was extremely prompt, showing up at the exact minute that we had scheduled. She was very patient getting to know our dog and we knew our dog would be in good hands seeing how much time she took to get to know our dog and her quirks. I won't hesitate to hire Lindsay again or recommend her to anyone who needs dog walking.
Lindsay has a true compassion towards animals and especially dogs and cats. I have watched her care for our family cats for her entire life, making sure they are safe, well nourished and have plenty of stimulation. Lindsay also fostered kittens for the better half of a year and then selected new "parents" for them. Lindsay also has a very calming nature with dogs and puppies. Linsday especially has a way with "shy" dogs, who ones who may be more cautious or less trusting. I would highly recommend Lindsay to watch your fur baby while you are away from them.
