Experienced Vet Tech & Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Since 14 years old I've cared for animals. I started out working on a horse farm for 5 years caring for the farm animals. I worked at a dog daycare the summer of 2015. I was a veterinary technician for Dr. Horn, the Veterinary Care Center for 12.5 years (2008 -2021). Working for a vet who also cared for exotic pets, I have a medical background with them and care for a variety of exotic pets. I can administer medication, give injections, and subcutaneous fluids (I can also teach you these for at home medical care). As well as nail trims, analgland expressions, and ear cleanings. My sister Jamie has a criminal justice degree and helps me pet sit when needed. She learned from me for years and has become very knowledgeable with pet care and their health. She too worked on the horse farm and now has years of experience pet sitting with me. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️.

Lindsay was absolutely amazing! She did a meet and greet with us before we booked our trip, and replied so quickly. She sent us daily updates and photos, and took such great care of Lena while we were away. We felt so comfortable leaving our special needs dog in her care. We will absolutely ask her to care for Lena again!
I adopted my dog Kira this year who has a rare esophagus disorder. She has numerous challenges with this condition and I knew I would never find a boarding facility that could properly and safely care for her if I traveled. I became depressed, rarely leaving or having an afternoon out without rushing home to care for her. When I discovered Lindsay on Rover.com and learned that she was a vet tech, I finally had some hope that I found a dogsitter that could care for my special needs girl. Lindsay watched Kira on an overnight stay and I'm thrilled and so grateful for the wonderful care she received! I knew upon meeting Lindsay, that Kira would be in safe hands. She sent updates and photos throughout the day...Kira was so well taken care of and enjoyed her stay. I'm so thankful to you Lindsay...you've made a world of difference for Kira and I. 💜🩷
My pup got along great with her dogs. She gave him love and attention when the other dogs were done playing but he still wanted more! I enjoyed the picture updates.
Lindsay was great with Maddie, who is a cat BTW, and made sure to keep me updated on how she was doing the entire time I was away. I would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone needing boarding care for their cat or dog and I will not hesitate to book her again. She is a real gem!! Thank you Lindsay!!!!

My home has a fenced yard but not very high so outside supervised, my dogs will keep yours company along with me and love to play! Walks around the neighborhood if wanted and fed separately in my room for meal time! Sleep together. In your home I love to hang outside with them, play, relax and watch tv, go for walks if wanted, and sleep together

Information Lindsay B. would like to know about your pet
If they have a certain routine, aggression issues or tiggers, anxiety, special needs or medical issues, and if any allergies or medications. Need to know if jump fences or escape artist! Primary Animal Hospital, and permission to take to ER in case of emergency knowing cost of care is much higher. I am a experienced veterinary nurse not a doctor and require one in certain situations, this is rare but in emergency situations time is not always on our side and I want to be proactive in the case a quick decision needs to be made without an owner present and unable to reach. I will always call you with any problems medical and non-medical.
A typical day
Go on walks if wanted, play time like throwing ball or with toys, sleep together, hang out and watch tv, food, fresh water. Outside together in the backyard.
