Safety, trust & environment
For drop-ins, I’d be happy to do feedings and water refills, potty breaks, and of course snuggle and play indoors or outdoors. For walks, we’ll stroll in your neighborhood! Please let me know if your dog has any triggers or sensitivities (loud noises, other dogs, squirrels, humans, etc) and I’ll do my very best to avoid them. I will always take your dog out on a leash. No matter how well-trained and impressive your pup is, I’m just not comfortable with pups I don’t know well off-leash. Harnesses are preferred in addition for large pups.
Information Lindsay F. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your dog’s general temperament as well as their general feelings about strangers. If possible, I’d love to meet you and your pup before I provide care so that all can get a feel for if it’s a good fit. No matter what some will say, your dog is a member of your family, and I want you to feel comfortable leaving them in my hands. Please let me know of any fears or triggers they may have, whether it be physical, something heard/seen, or otherwise. I can give oral medications if needed. Some dogs have trouble with this (mine did), so let me know if you have a particular method that works for your pup, or I can supply a few suggestions (I’ve been through several).
A typical day
For drop-ins, if your dog has preferred activities, let me know! Otherwise, I’ll make use of any available toys or treats to play. And I’ll definitely use your fenced outdoor space if you have it. For walks, Portland has some beautiful neighborhoods, so we’ll stroll through yours or make use of any nearby parks.

Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs in my home since I was born. Now I’m raising one of my own, and he’s my soulmate. While I’ve never worked with animals professionally, over my 30+ years of personal experience, I’ve learned the ins and outs, the good and bad, of what it means to love and care for a dog and give them the happy and healthy life they deserve. My desire to give that to any and all animals is a huge part of me. I’ve always just naturally connected with dogs, but I’ve also volunteered at various pet shelters and taken dog behavioral courses. I’ve done pet sitting for numerous friends and family members. Every dog is different, and I’ve found myself to be very in tune to each individual dog I’ve met in order to get to know them and earn their trust. I’d love the opportunity to meet yours!
Reviews
Lindsay helped us with our two dogs while we were on a trip out of the country. We looked forward to the daily update cards with photos and a description every day - it made being away from them so much more bearable! Our dogs clearly love her, and we are so grateful. She was communicative, gave us thoughtful updates and our dogs were clearly in wonderful hands. Would absolutely love to book Lindsay again!
We can’t say enough good things about Lindsay. Our dog Ellie gets so excited every time she sees Lindsay. There have been several times I have booked very last minute and Lindsay has been so accommodating. Highly recommend!! Thank you Lindsay!
Lindsay is great with my pup, and pleasant with which to work. Already planning my next request.
Lindsay is so great with my pup! She's very conscientious, and so nice to work with.
