Pet care experience

I love ‘em when you leave ‘em!

I've successfully ran a pet sitting business in the Bay Area for 3 years. Throughout the years, I've had the pleasure of fostering many dogs and adopting a few as well. My particular fondness is for senior dogs, and I welcomed my last dog, Ollie, into my home when he was 9 years old. Sadly, I said goodbye to my beloved furry friend about a year ago in October, and I deeply miss his presence and the joy that dogs bring to my daily life. I have a passion for an active lifestyle, and I regularly enjoy hiking on weekends, often accompanied by dogs I've cared for.

Lindsey was amazing! It was so nice to know that my dog was being loved on just as much as I usually do! I got pictures almost every single day and my pup got lots of exercise and adventure! I wish I had found Lindsey sooner! She is amazing and takes fantastic care of the animals around her! She was extremely flexible on pick up and drop off and my pup loved every second with her!

Lindsay loves all animals but she is really on another level with dogs. We joke in the neighborhood that she's the dog whisperer who has a bat signal every time a dog gets loose or lost or lonely. People who know her seek her guidance on all things dog. Your pups will love her (they all do)!

Lindsay has dedicated herself to rescue, she has been an adoptive mom several times. She has opened her home as a foster parent for those awaiting a new home. She has partnered with rescue organizations over the years so that those animals that need to rest and recover from trauma or surgery can do it in her loving care. Lindsay will care for and love your animal as though they are her own!! Not only will your pets love her but so will you.

Lindsay is great with our dog Ginger. She takes her for long walks and hikes and sends us pictures of how happy Ginger is during them. Ginger’s tail always wags faster when she sees her. Lindsay is our go to woman when we need a pet sitter even if it’s for a short weekend away or a two week trip out of the country, Lindsay is our first choice. She is a true pet lover, responsible, attentive, and exactly who we trust with our fur baby.

I've known Lindsay for over seven years. In the course of that time I have seen Lindsay take in missing or unattended dogs and cats, along with strays, to ensure their safety and well being. Additionally she has care-sat numerous friends' and coworkers' pets for extended periods (weeks). Of all the animal lovers I have met in my lifetime, Lindsay ranks at the top. I say this because unlike many, she is always willing to forgo her own needs / wants aside to ensure a furry friend (or stranger) is safe and cared for. Furthermore, I have witnessed her care for multiple pets at a time; they were all loved equally. Lindsay has a knack for forming a kindred connection with an animal right off the bat upon first meeting. Im certain her kind and friendly demeanor is quickly sensed by them furries during the initial introduction. I whole heartedly attest that one's 'fur baby' is in the best possible care when left in Lindsay's keep.

I have never seen someone more compassionate about dogs in my life. I've watched Lindsay bring in rescues and work wonders with them. She intuitively knows how to attune with a variety of dogs, and she cares every dog in different ways depending on their behavioral and health needs. Lindsay is responsible and consistent in her approach to instructions, and she always goes the extra mile for her pets, friends, and acquaintances. She's the first person I call if I have a question with my new puppy, and she's so patient with me and my dog. If you come across her on Rover, you're lucky, as she is quite the find.
