Vet-Trained, Kennel Attendant

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Lindsay, a junior Ecology student at Susquehanna University! As a member of Alpha Phi Omega, a co-ed service fraternity, i love to help others and their pets. Caring for animals gives me a huge sense of accomplishment. I've had cats in the house all my life, and i've had geriatric and special-needs cats for multiple years as well. I've taken care of cats for friends and family, and spend lots of time ensuring their pets feel comfortable around me. I am a previous SPCA Annapolis volunteer, where i socialized cats and walked dogs. I also volunteer at my schools living collection! There, i feed and clean cages for frogs, snakes, lizards, turtles, marine/aquatic fish, and even birds! I'll hapilly take care of your exotics (and plants!). I have been a seasonal, part-time employee at a pet boarding facility near Annapolis for over a year. There, I clean kennels, feed dogs, medicate them, bathe them, and walk/run them. Because of my previous experience, I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, and of most tempers, and am experienced with loud dogs, jumpy dogs, nippy dogs, flighty dogs, and timid dogs. I love giant breeds; the bigger the better! I recently completed an internship at a Veterinary facility in Argentina, where I learned valuable medical skills that can be used (heaven forbid i need to use them) in emergency situations.

Lindsay was wonderful with my dog who gets anxious with new people caring for her! She handled her so well and didn’t mind her energy! Will definitely use her again!

Lindsay has loved animals for her whole life and has worked at a boarding location for a while. She has experience caring for others' animals in their homes as well and I've trusted her to take care of my own cat with excellent results as well. I unreservedly recommend Lindsay.

Lindsay has cared for our kitties several times over the years. She has a heart of gold and is wonderful with animals. Lindsay not only makes sure that our cats are fed, watered, and that the litter box is clean, but she spends time playing with them. Lindsay is trustworthy and I recommend her as a caregiver to your furry friends, too!

I am able to aid a choking animal, and I am CPR trained in both dogs and cats. I am also trained to intubate, administer IV, and perform intramuscular shots (if necessary) on dogs. I will not have this equipment with me.

Information Lindsay D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your dog is good (or not) with other dogs, or if you're okay with me taking them to the park to play with other dogs. It's important for me to know their typical behavior, so i can look out for abnormalities. Is your pet on a flea and/or tick regimen? let me know! Also, let me know if they are prone to carsickness or have any food allergies/sensitivities. Let me know their favorite snacks, too! Each critter is different

A typical day

For most dogs, i will take them around your neighborhood; they know the way better than i do! If possible, I love taking pups to a dog park near my house. On walks, i try my best to keep them on the grass and in the shade, even if they have boots! I always keep a water bottle and bowl handy, and flea comb after every walk.

I'm currently a full-time student, which means i'm under a lot of stress and pressure. Animals help reduce that stress; I aim to reduce your stress as well!
