Pet care experience
I am an experienced dog-sitter providing drop-ins, boarding, and daycare. I’m also sometimes able to provide housesitting, depending on my roommate’s schedule and our ability to take care of my dogs while I’m taking care of yours. I am able to care for many special needs such as dogs that are easily spooked, have problems with other dogs, have health issues (including seizures), need medications, and have injuries. A bit about my experience with dogs: I've been around dogs since the day I was born. I love dogs of all sizes, and they all seem to love me! I can't imagine life without dogs! I currently have three small ones, Kirby, Galinda, and Pascal. I also have experience with elderly dogs, anxious dogs, special medical needs, and with administering medication. One of my dogs had major hip surgery last summer, requiring months of physical therapy, so I’m also able to keep up with physical therapy exercises if your dog requires those as well! I would love to meet your babies! I enjoy playing with dogs, teaching them tricks, going for walks or picnics, snuggling, taking them to Starbucks for puppaccinos, and giving them all the love!! I do have a car, so if your dog loves car rides, we can take a field trip to a drive-through Starbucks (my dogs love doing this). I have also successfully won the hearts of many fearful, nervous dogs who have previously struggled with humans other than their own. My friends call me the “dog whisperer”! I’m always happy to meet more than once before the stay so your dog has time to warm up to me. Since I have my own dogs, I completely understand the struggle of finding a reliable, trustworthy, loving sitter who your dog(s) will feel comfortable with. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
Reviews
Lindsay saved the day! She was absolutely wonderful with our admittedly nervous little guy, and was utterly helpful as could be. We literally cannot give her a better review. I wish there were more stars. Thank you Lindsay.
I am so happy that I found Lindsay. She could not have been more perfect. Lindsay was so flexible and easy to communicate with. Moreover, she had the perfect location and set up. My dog, who has severe separation anxiety, immediately warmed to Lindsay. I felt 100% secure in leaving my dog with Lindsay and was so happy with the results.
Lindsay was amazing. Bella had the best time with her and her pups. Great communication from the start and positive energy. Lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. You could see Bella’s smiles in all the photos. She came back very content from all the fun she had. Would definitely use again.
Lindsay was excellent when she took care of Frida. She always kept us informed and sent lots of pictures about how Frida was doing. Frida is usually anxious whenever she spends time away from me or my wife but Lindsay helped Frida feel comfortable and welcome. Also, having extra doggies around was perfect to help keep Frida company and have friends to play with. Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their dog.

I try to stick to the dog's regular schedule as much as possible to keep them comfortable. I love taking photos (my phone is 99% dog photos) and will send you pics and updates as often as you'd like! As a dog mom myself, I understand how hard it is to leave them, so I don't mind if you want tons of updates every day or if you check in with me all the time! I want you to feel comfortable and confident leaving your babies in my care. We have a two bedroom apartment with a very large fenced-in patio space for dogs to hang out on whether they enjoy sunbathing, exploring, or running. In my pictures, there is a gap shown under the gate, but we have closed that gap, so don’t worry! We can also set up the dog pool during warm days! *Due to several spinal surgeries, I cannot walk large dogs that pull on the leash.*
Home
Information Lindsay P. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any triggers/fears/peculiar behaviors? What makes them happiest? What’s their usual schedule at home? Do they have any allergies? (One of my dogs is allergic to chicken and eggs, but if your dog eats those ingredients, I don’t mind!) Do they bark a lot? Or at anything in particular? Are they neutered/spayed? I cannot accept male dogs who aren’t neutered. Is there anything else you’d like me to know about your pup?
A typical day
I love teaching dogs new tricks! My dogs know a ton and would be happy to show your pup how to do them! We also have several treat puzzles and a fenced-in yard. We have a few neighbors who also have patios in our courtyard and don't mind the dogs running around in their areas, so there's so much space to explore! One neighbor even keeps stocked up on treats to give the pups, and my dogs run to her door every day to get some!

Availability
I work part-time from home every day, so I have plenty of time to play with dogs! My own dogs get treats and love all day long! My roommate also works from home many days and loves to hang out with the dogs too. I only work part-time and, when I do, I sit on the floor or the couch so I can play with the dogs and they can easily get to me for snuggles!
