Pet care experience
I love all dogs, and have a special touch with bully breeds. I grew up with a husky, and have owned both a pit bull and an American bulldog at different times. I’ve sat for shepherds, terriers, bullies, cavaliers and more! I am a retired massage therapist and am happy to help dogs with a rub to the hips and shoulders after walks or while we are relaxing. I love working with shy dogs as well as outgoing ones. I’ve worked with brand new puppies and very elderly dogs, sometimes at the same time. I am multilingual, and can use commands in several languages if needed. For house-sitting, I prefer to bring my husband along with me. He is also Rover certified. I work from home, so your doggy or kitty will generally never be alone for more than 2-4 hours a day! I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
Reviews
Lindsay is amazing with my pup! He always has so much fun and seriously loves her. I never have to worry about him when he’s with Lindsay. Highly recommend!!❤️
Lindsay was incredible - she made us feel so confident and calm being away from our little guy. He adored her and let her give him cuddles (not the norm) and she spent quality time with him. Her communication, love of animals, photos and updates and timeliness were top notch. You can tell how much pride she takes, love for animals and her work. We so appreciated her being with little Blackberry this weekend for check ins and will be in touch for his next staycation!
From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot recommend Lindsay enough for anyone in need of a pet sitter who is not just reliable, but truly exceptional. Lindsay is nothing short of an angel. From the moment our beloved Sassy was in her care, Lindsay went above and beyond in ways we could never have anticipated. Not only did she provide constant updates that eased our minds while we were away, but her compassionate approach to Sassy's needs was remarkable. When Sassy was recovering and couldn't keep her cone on, Lindsay crafted a little leg cover, showcasing her creativity and genuine love for animals. Her house became a second home for Sassy, filled with love, warmth, and endless cuddles. Lindsay's intuitive care, from comforting Sassy during unexpected coyote howls to ensuring she had the gentlest recovery, was a testament to her incredible character and dedication. It's rare to find someone who cares for your pet as their own, but Lindsay does just that and more. She is a true gem, and we feel incredibly blessed to have found her. Thank you, Lindsay, for being Sassy's guardian angel and for giving us peace of mind. Your kindness and nurturing spirit have touched our hearts deeply.
Lindsay has been so amazing with weekly daycare for my 5 month old puppy. My pup is very anxious but her and her husband do an amazing job and keep my mind at ease. I am so grateful for her and I highly highly recommend her!

My apartment building has a nearby play area for dogs, with plenty of friendly dogs to play with! For shy or reactive pets, it is easy for me to take them during quiet times when no one else is in the play area.

Information Lindsay R. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know if I need to administer any medications. I have a peanut allergy, I will need an alternative treat if your dog treats contain peanut butter. :)
A typical day
We will stick to my neighborhood. We have lots of balls and toys to play fetch with, and there are also nearby places with plenty of grass for walks. Our home is stocked with plenty of toys for indoor play.

I am an artist who works from home. So potty breaks are easy. I generally stick to the neighbourhood, but we can take dogs for hikes sometimes if you like!
