I'm a seasonal worker. I split time between Aurora season in Fairbanks, and Bear Viewing season in Homer, Alaska. In fairbanks I work nights doing aurora tours and photography... generally 3 or 4 nights per week, from 9pm to 3am, about 6 hours. From September through December I usually work 3 nights per week. In Homer I work 6 days per week from 6am to 3pm, June through August. Otherwise, I'm a homebody, happy to be where the Furry critters are! All of my jobs are pet friendly, so special pet needs can be accommodated.

Safety, trust & environment

In Fairbanks with minor exceptions, I would come to your home! My landlord is dog friendly, as a foster home for dogs themselves, but the property is not super dog friendly without a fenced yard. I'm happy to drive within 100 miles of Fairbanks to come and care for your loved ones.

Information Lindsay B. would like to know about your pet

I can handle most special needs. As a Veterinary Technician with animal nutrition degree and animal behavior degree, not too many things bother me, and I've seen most special needs animals routinely. Diabetes, Cushing, kidney issues, after surgical care, all things I can handle on all animals. I need to know behavioral issues ahead of time.

A typical day

I keep your routine for your pets as close as possible to your routine! Pets need their routine at home to be happiest and safest. If your critters are used to walking somewhere specific, that's where I will go. If allowed to customize care with permission... I like taking dogs to a pet store, or on a car ride. Every single thing I do is catered to your Furry Family critters!

Pet care experience

Veterinary Technician since 1998 specializing in dogs, horses, large animal, exotics, special needs, and large properties! I've been pet sitting as a side gig since becoming a Vet Tech in 1998. Then I was a full time pet sitter across the country from 2006 through 2020. We've always had animals and I grew up around a lot of horses. I have an animal nutrition degree and animal behavior degree, setting me apart of from many other sitters. I also have a cohort sometimes, my Mother, she likes to join me on hikes when in town visiting. She has always loved visiting me during pet sits when she can and has her own pet sits she does now too back in her home state. She's where my never-ending love and respect for animals comes from! I'm a perfectionist and detail oriented person, and uphold your routines and rules to the best of my ability, while also giving your critters plenty of attention and love. I'm all about CUSTOM! Whatever you need for your pets needs, I'm here to help! Feeding, behavior, training, special needs... all things I can manage and help with. Fully open to new situations as well, I'm a quick on-the-go learner, fast study and love new challenges. Many references available upon request.

Laurie and Lindsay are a wonderful pair of pet sitters. Whether they sit as a team or individually, I have always felt absolutely secure about leaving my pets and my home in their capable hands. Lindsay was our pet/house sitter for several years before moving to Alaska. Now Laurie sits for our two cats and takes care of the house. The communication is always excellent and both Laurie and Lindsay are able to handle minor or major disasters around the house. They love my cats (but who wouldn't :) and my cats return the affection. The animals, my husband and I are all content, safe and well cared for during the time we leave our treasures in the capable hands of Laurie or Lindsay.
