Friend of furry ones, big or small!

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved dogs, cats, birds, rodent pals and scaly friends too. I cared for parakeets and hamsters throughout my childhood, and I finally had the chance to raise a puppy during 2020, which came with all the experience of good dog ownership! I’m a thorough and conscientious owner, keeping my buddy clean, healthy, exercised, entertained, and spoiled to boot! I’ve received multiple professional balanced-training sessions along with hundreds of hours of my own experience raising a very intelligent and independent hound mix, so I am intimately familiar with many training techniques and proper use of training tools when needed. I always try to do what’s best for my buddy, and I hope to do the same for your furry family!

Lindsey was great! She stopped in to help take care of my cat Phoebe while I was away and provided plenty of pictures and detailed notes about her visit. I was very pleased and look forward to asking Lindsey back for other visits!

Safety, trust & environment

I take impeccable care of my own dog, and you can expect me to do the same for your buddies. I regularly bathe and groom my dog by hand, only feed the best foods and treats, spend tons of time playing, exercising, and training, and then tidy and clean as needed to keep our home safe and sanitary. I treat my dog like I would a kid: plenty of enrichment, a consistent schedule, fair and reasonable house rules, and do whatever I can to keep him happy and healthy.

Information Lindsay S. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to work with any age, size, and breed of dog. Please don’t hesitate to list any special needs or requests for your furry friends or home environment, as I want to make your entire experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible! Here are some ideas for helpful information to include: - What type of equipment do you prefer for walking, any particular collars, leashes, harnesses, or other training tools? - Does your dog have a favorite walking style? Do they prefer to sniff around and dawdle, are they happy to go for a relaxed steady stroll, do lead the way on a power-walk, or something in between? - Are you working on any training or habit cultivation with your dog? I’m happy to work on training with them, as I have plenty of practice! - Does your dog have any food or environmental allergies that we should watch out for? Especially important if you’d like to include some training treats as rewards! - If you won’t be home during our walk or drop-in, what is the best way to meet up with your pup for our walk; any particular entry ways or codes I should know ahead of time? - Are there any medications, treatments or emergency contact numbers I should know about? - Are there any other phone numbers or methods of contact that you prefer? - On days with inclement weather, does your dog wear a jacket for rain or cold, or do you simply towel-dry them afterwards? Does your pup refuse to get wet and prefer a quick potty run with some playtime instead? If you think of anything else, message me at any time!

A typical day

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a dog enjoy all the fun things in life: chasing a frisbee, sniffing every single leaf on a hike, splashing their paws in a brook, or just enjoying a nice snack and snuggle on the couch. I’ll entertain any idea those canine brains can concoct, because I’m as happy as they are to be a part of their favorite activities! I enjoy walking any terrain, rain or shine, whether it be a neighborhood sidewalk, a nearby park, or a deep-woods hike in local nature preserves.
