Highlights
Pet care experience
Full-Time Canine & Feline Guardian
I was born and raised in Manhattan but moved to Ulster County in August 2015 to help my mother tend to and maintain her very old, beautiful house perched on the Hudson River. I am a college graduate and have worked in finance and management even though I tri-majored in English, Classics and Writing. I kept wishing I could work with animals full-time, and finally I realized that I didn't have to keep wishing - I could make it a dream come true, and thus Carpe Canem came to be. ***Pricing Will Vary - Cost Is Based On Several Factors, So It May Be Less Or More Than What Is First Displayed - Cost Is Discussed Before Booking Confirmation*** ***Service Hours: 10 AM - 6 PM, 7 Days A Week***

Safety, trust & environment
I have an involved style with both you and your pet; I want to keep you at ease and connected to your pet when they are in my hands: the best care possible. Of course, some people prefer to shut off the world when they travel, so I don't enforce a constant-contact policy, but if it appeals to you, then you will be pleased with my methods. I do, however, require Meet & Greets for all new clients: I can not negotiate on this policy. It is absolutely imperative that I meet your pet before caring for them in your absence not only to ensure that your fur baby feels comfortable with me, but also because there are so many tiny nuances that we don't even notice about our mannerisms that I should observe so I know how best to handle your pet when you're away. I have had many clients respond to some of my questions with, "I never actually thought about that preferential choice for my dog," and they learned a new detail about their pet they hadn't considered before. I believe I am gifted with an aura or pheromonal chemistry that is attractive to animals and they are drawn to me. Even the most difficult or aggressive animals warm up to me almost immediately. Some trainers have said that my demeanor demonstrates Alpha and therefore animals receive me as a protector, though of course that is just a theory, but I felt it worth mentioning. I am firm, alert, and direct but equally affectionate and protective. Thus, I can state with full confidence that you will be very satisfied choosing me to care for your fur babies.
Ratings and reviews
Our cats seemed well cared for. Lindsay spent time with them and did everything they needed to be cared for.
Lindsay was great with my two dogs! She arrived on time for all of the visits and made sure they had everything they needed. Long walks, food and water and lots of cuddles. I’d definitely use her again!
Thanks as always, Lindsay!
We’re are always comfortable leaving our cat in Lindsay’s care. She is such a kind person!
We always know we’re in good hands with Lindsay! Our cat Coco loves her 🥰
It’s great to have Lindsay back checking on Sage, my cat. I am always assured knowing that Sage is in good hands.

Schedule
Caring for your pets is my full-time gig; this is not some seasonal job to make some cash between semesters, this is not a side job to add another source of income; this is my career and I take great pride in perfecting every aspect of it to be the best choice for you and your fur babies. I want to facilitate a familial bond and a lasting connection. Our pets become our children, and as "pawrents," we want to know our children are safe and comfortable and loved when we have to be away from them, be it a few hours at work or several days traveling. I treat every client as I would want my pets to be treated, and therefore I will always go the extra mile for you. I feel like I was born to serve and protect animals (so I am also a vegan).
