Pet care experience
High-Energy Fun, Expert Care
Hi, I’m Lindsay! 🐾 I have dedicated my career to the well-being of animals, blending over a decade of professional dog walking and hands-on pet care with professional veterinary hospital experience. From leading structured off-leash playgroups and serving as a Daycare Shift Supervisor to working as a Client Liaison at MSPCA-Angell Animal Medical Center, I have cared for almost every breed, size, and temperament imaginable. Whether I am providing dedicated house sitting in your home or dropping in for daily walks and check-ins, my background means your fur family is getting far more than standard pet care: - Behavioral Expertise & Comfort: I am highly skilled at reading canine body language, maintaining calm dynamics, and using positive reinforcement to keep anxious or sensitive pets feeling safe and loved. - Medical Peace of Mind: With my veterinary hospital background, I am deeply experienced in administering medications, managing strict schedules, and recognizing subtle signs of health concerns. I am also certified in Dog CPR, First Aid, and Safety. - Seamless Routines & Cleanliness: I take a lot of pride in keeping a tidy, comfortable environment. Food and water bowls stay fresh, your home stays respected and neat, and if the classic New England weather gets messy, your pet gets a cozy towel-dry before settling in. Because my schedule is highly flexible, your pet's exact routine is my top priority. I am a cat owner myself and love caring for both dogs and cats of all comfort levels. I’m always happy to provide detailed credentials and professional references to give you total peace of mind. I’d love to connect via a phone call or a meet-and-greet to see how I can best love and support your pets in the comfort of their own home!

Safety, trust & environment
A typical day with me is the perfect mix of structure, safety, and pure fun, completely tailored to your pet’s unique groove! Whether your pup needs high-energy hikes and legendary games of fetch to burn off steam, or more leisurely neighborhood strolls and engaging brain games tailored for smaller paws, I customize the day to them. I take a lot of pride in keeping a clean, tidy environment. Food and water bowls are always fresh, play spaces stay neat, and if that classic New England weather gets messy, your pet gets a cozy towel-dry or a refreshing bath before settling in to relax.
Ratings and reviews
Always thorough in her report! Always enthusiastic about walking my dog!
Lindsay was the perfect companion for my puppy! They were fast friends, and I truly appreciated Lindsay’s attention to detail when it came to her care. Lindsay was absolutely wonderful as a sitter and I hope we can do another play date soon!
Lindsay was amazing! Long story short, she took care of our 3 small but high maintenance pets while the family took a long overdue and much needed vacation. She was kind and gentle with our pets. Even the cat — who doesn’t like anyone —and I mean NO-ONE— he warmed up to her. We came back and things were organized and clean— a real break. She is an excellent communicator, sent pictures and videos daily & asked questions when needed. We truly appreciate the service and please tell her the pets miss her .. esp. Jinx!
Lindsay was wonderful with our pup. She was communicative throughout her visit and patient and kind with our anxious boy. We also got lots of pictures of their time together :) We would be happy to book with her again!
Lindsay took great care of our doggies!
Lindsay is always amazing for our girl. She provides mental stimulation for her and she always leaves our dog enriched and happy!

Schedule
Pet care is my daily routine, which means my schedule revolves entirely around the needs of my furry clients and their pet parents! Whether it’s mid-day neighborhood walks, wooded hikes, structured playtime, or accommodating last-minute schedule changes, my current lifestyle allows me to be incredibly dependable, available, and fully present for your pet every single day.

- To give your pet the best possible care, it’s wonderful to know their unique quirks ahead of time! Please share their typical feeding and bathroom schedules, any medical needs or dietary restrictions, how they feel about meeting other animals on walks, and what comforts them if they get anxious. The more details, the better I can mirror their usual routine.
