Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet's best pal while you're away!
Some say I am the epitome of an animal-lover. I have been petsitting for a variety of animals since I was 10 years old. I've had cats for my entire life and finally got a dog once I moved to Philly and began living on my own. I have two super sweet dogs and an adorably awesome cat who doesn't mind the presence of dogs or other cats in the house. I foster senior dogs, so all of my residents are used to welcoming new temporary friends into our routine. I offer boarding and daycare to pets that are vaccinated and pet-friendly. I live with my partner who is also very experienced with animals, and between the two of us, there is almost always someone home with the pets! You can rest assured that your beloved furry friend will never be alone for more than an hour or two. I happily allow dogs on the couch and the bed for cuddles as long as this is okay with you. I do not have a fenced yard, but provide at least 4 walks a day and lots of playtime depending on your pup's preferences. There are parks and dog parks nearby, as well! Since I have experience with senior dogs, I also have experience administering medication in various forms and can follow even the most detailed and complicated of instructions. Your pet is in good hands with me!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lindsay is AMAZING! She took my Birdie girl same day for daycare and sent me the cutest photo updates throughout her stay!
Lindsay is great with my dogs. She is flexible and always super helpful if my plans change, even going above and beyond when we had an out of town emergency. I don't have to worry when I know she is coming!
Lindsay is the best! I can’t imagine anyone else watching our pets. I think they miss her when we get back home! Thanks again and look forward to having you back in the future.
Lindsay is great with my dogs and loves on them as much as I would.
This was our first time ever hiring a pet sitter so we didn’t quite know what to expect. We picked Lindsay based on her profile and reviews and we liked that she lived really close. We met her and immediately knew that she would be great with our two cats and dog. They all immediately took to her as well which was a great sign! We only did a two day one night trip but we will definitely look forward to having Lindsay watch our pets again! She communicated how they were doing and sent lots of great pictures. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our pets while we were able to go on a quick trip. Looking forward to longer trips in the future and I’ll know that our pets are in great hands!
Lindsay is a great communicator and is very professional and easy to work with. She takes great care of your pet(s)!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home full time during the week. My schedule is flexible and I can provide regular potty breaks throughout the day. We have two dogs of our own so we are typically out and about anyway!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My two dogs are very friendly and comfortable welcoming new friends into our place. Our home is very dog-proof and we are great at keeping an eye on everyone to make sure they're getting along well and no one is getting into trouble. We can provide frequent walks (solo or with our crew) for exercise or, if preferred, sniffy walks to work the brain.

A typical day
We will take lots of walks to local parks, and can even go to the dog park if that's your pup's thing. If your furry friend is into hiking, we'd love to take them along to the Wissahickon on a nice day with your permission. I have a wide variety of toys for your dog to choose from, and I love playing fetch and tug-of-war. Maybe we'll even hang on the roofdeck if the weather allows!
