Fulltime professional pet sitter!

Pet care experience

Pet sitting has been my fulltime job and what I can very gladly call my career for over 7 years! Before that, I worked in a shelter (humane society). I have plenty of experience with specific breeds of dogs, cats and small animals. Potty training, crate training, positive reinforcement, administering oral and/or injected medication, seizures, elderly pet care, assisting disabled or low mobility pets, etc. I also have experience in rehabilitation for wildlife, kittens and puppies. I am so grateful I discovered Rover. The joy that not only I, but my family gets from caring for other families "family" is amazing. Seeing the joy that families get when picking up their pet knowing they have been loved and taken care of as if they were home, is priceless. We have dogs and occasionally cats over for boarding and daycare every day of the week! I also offer visits, walks and house sitting. Please don't hesitate to message me with your specific needs as well as your pets! I try to be as flexible as I can. My schedule for visits and walks is also very flexible. Most of my visits are in the afternoon but I'm happy to accommodate with morning and evening visits as well! We have a large fenced in yard (4 foot chain link). We have plenty of crates available here if needed. Always feed dogs separately. Plenty of toys, treats, etc. Our dogs have the main area of the house free for roaming plus the backyard! If I'm coming into your home to care for your pet, I would love to meet you! Feel free to introduce me to your pets and show me where everything is, how certain things work, how the door might not close all the way and/or all the fun little quirks that make your pet and your home unique. I understand some last minute requests don't always allow for this and I can certainly accommodate those as well!

Lindsay was incredible. We felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs with her. I don’t think they wanted to leave when we came to pick them up. Lindsay was great with communication and she truly seems to love animals. We would highly recommend her and are grateful we have a place to bring the dogs when we are traveling to the area.

Information Lindsay M. would like to know about your pet

Boarding/Daycare - Neutered/Spayed, up to date on vaccinations (I do require proof) and flea prevention? Do they get along with ALL dogs? Cats, children? Are they crated during the day when left alone? Are they crated at night? Any allergies that you're aware of? Are they on any medications or supplements? Any toy or food aggression that you're aware of? Do they chew on anything besides toys? Any concern jumping a 4ft fence? How much do they eat and when? Walks/Visits - Yep, I have plenty of questions for these too, however because these can vary so much please feel free to message me with your specific details and we can chat! These things are crucial before I allow another animal into my home. I'm more than happy to host your pet but my first priority is to keep everyone in my family and yours safe, happy and healthy! Every dog has their own personality. Some dogs will work with our family and others may not. This is totally okay and I can only hope that you find a sitter that will work for you. I welcome any breed into my home whether that be a typical "dangerous breed" , a tiny toy dog or perhaps a puppy that isn't quite trained. All dogs welcome here!

A typical day

I'm happy to stick to routine and walk your pup your same route or explore a bit! For drop in visits, I'm happy to play their fave game and/or cuddle! As far as the dogs being boarded in our home (and daycare) they generally wear themselves out playing together as a pack indoors and outdoors. If you have a puppy, senior and/or just a dog that might need more breaks, please let me know, I really am happy to work with you and your individual pets needs!
