Pet care experience

NYC & CT Private Pet Sitter

Please note: Pricing can be flexible depending on the situation, length of stay, and number of pets. I’m always happy to talk through the details! I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m one of those people who naturally gravitates toward dogs wherever I go. I also have six dogs of my own (including large breeds), so managing different personalities, routines, and energy levels is something I’m very comfortable with. These days I focus on in-home pet sitting, because most pets are happiest staying in their own space and keeping their normal routine. I know how hard it can be to leave your animals when you travel, so my goal is always to make it feel like they’re just hanging out with a friend who loves dogs as much as you do. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages — from energetic young pups to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed instructions to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I’m very attentive and tend to get pretty attached to the animals I care for. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and getting lots of attention while you’re gone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and genuinely excited to spend time with your pets, I’d love to connect.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, pets are treated like family. We have a spacious, safe property with fenced areas for play and exercise, and we keep routines consistent with what each pet is used to, including feeding schedules, walks, and downtime. Since my wife and I both work from home most of the week, someone is almost always here to give attention and care. For client homes, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible - from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles - to keep them comfortable and stress-free in their own environment.

Lindsey did a phenomenal job. We were very happy to have her stop by and take care of our dogs. She showed them lots of love and stayed in communication with us and sent us photos and videos. Highly recommend.

Lindsay did a wonderful job caring for Obi. She is very kind and clearly loves dogs. Lindsay kept in touch and sent pictures regularly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Lindsay was great with my puppy. She will be the first person I call for future pet sitting. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog services.

Lindsay took very good care of Juno. Her dog Dallas is a great playmate and Juno clearly enjoyed her stay.

Lindsay did such a good job with Lily! She came over 3 times a day to let feed her, take her out, and exercise her. She has an incredible presence with dogs. Lily took to her immediately and she usually takes a long time with new people! I definitely plan on using Lindsay to help take care of my dogs in the future! She is always available and goes above and beyond when caring for your dog! I would trust her with my beloved Lily any day!

Pet care is part of our everyday life! My wife and I both work remotely about 90% of the week, which gives us plenty of time and flexibility to care for our own six dogs — and any visiting pets, too. Our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles, so incorporating other pets into that rhythm fits right in.

t’s always helpful to know as much as possible about your pet’s personality and routine before their stay! Things like their energy level, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and any quirks or triggers help me make them feel right at home. I also like to know how they do with other dogs (and cats), if they have any medical needs or medications, and what comforts them when they’re anxious or adjusting to a new place. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor their care to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe — whether they’re staying here on the homestead or I’m caring for them in your home
