Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Lindsay and I have been a dog lover all my life. I've never met a pup I didn't like - I really love them all! Besides having dogs all my life, I was a vet assistant for 2 years, a groomer in Boston for 8 years and an animal trainer for almost 10. I'm comfortable administering medicine and being sensitive when caring for injured, anxious, and/or elderly pups. I practice ONLY positive reinforcement, I do not/will not use shock, prong or choke collars, and will treat your pup like they were my own. I'm a stay at home mom to two amazing (also dog loving and very gentle) little ones, so experience around children is a must. We are an adventure loving family, hikes on beautiful days and exploring are what you can expect with us. We love the outdoors and long walks. My schedule is very flexible and I'm extremely reliable. I enjoy baking dog cookies at home and would love to open my own grooming/daycare business in the near future. I also love dog breath...I may be a bit canine crazy!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
Reviews
Lindsay and her family watched our chihuahua this past weekend and they were amazing! We did a preboarding video chat and she answered all of our questions. We felt safe and secure leaving our dog with her. She sent us daily updates with lots of pictures, and even a random one when we requested it. Our dog seemed to have a great time and adapted to them well, especially her little ones! She treated him like he was part of their family. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. If you’re looking for a reason to book Lindsay this is it.
I drive 3hrs round trip to drop my dog off with Lindsay because I trust her so much that I think it is worth the drive. Lindsay has watched my dog 3 times, and each time she did a phenomenal job. She patiently listens when I explain my dog's routine and eccentricities. She understands animals from her many years of experience, and I completely trust her judgment to keep my dog safe. When I arrived to pick my dog up, he usually doesn't want to leave!
Our pup could not have been happier, more entertained and better taken care of then with Lindsay and her family. After getting the updates of how much fun and attention he was getting we wondered if he ever would want to go home. Great experience all around and our pup got all the attention and love we could ever dream of!
Lindsay watched our dog while we went on vacation for a week and the amount of attention and love she gave him was incredible! It was the first time we’ve ever left him with someone else besides family and we can confidently say that she and her family will be our go-to from now one when it comes to dog-sitting. Lindsay gave us daily updates with tons of pictures to show us all of the wonderful experiences our dog was having. We had such piece of mind to know that he was in the perfect hands and were able to rest a little easier knowing that while we enjoyed our vacation. We can not recommend Lindsay enough for the amazing care that she gave our dog!
