Pet care experience
CPR Certified Cat Specialist
ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! MESSAGE ME! Hello! I’m Lindsay, known as the "Cat Whisperer", serving the South Suburbs and NWI. While many sitters offer general pet care, I specialize in providing a high-level, intuitive experience for cats (and their avian or farm friends!) who require a more sophisticated touch. My home is a true sanctuary, shared with five cats, chickens, and a peacock. This lifelong immersion in nature has given me a unique shorthand with animals—especially those who are shy, "spicy," or highly sensitive to their environment. Certified Professional & Medical Specialist I bring peace of mind to pet parents who need more than just a food-and-water check-in. My background includes: Red Cross Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR: I am trained to handle emergencies with a calm, capable head. Advanced Medical Care: I am highly proficient in administering medications (pills, liquids, or specialized treatments) and following strict veterinary protocols. Life-Stage Expertise: I have extensive experience with kitten development and birthing, as well as providing compassionate, dignified care for senior and end-of-life cats. Professional Network: I maintain active affiliations with multiple local vets and have trusted connections for in-home end-of-life services should you ever need that support. A Calming, Wellness-Focused Approach Beyond the clinical side, I am a practitioner of calming energy work. I use gentle, non-invasive techniques to lower stress levels and promote a sense of safety. This "whole-creature" approach is a game-changer for anxious pets who struggle when their owners are away. Whether you are in the South Suburbs or Northwest Indiana, I am here to be your pet's advocate. I don't just "watch" your pets—I look after their physical health and emotional spirit as if they were my own.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lindsay provided exceptional home care for my multiple-cat family, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From our first meeting, she took comprehensive notes on each cat's routine, personality, and specific needs, giving me complete confidence that they would be well cared for. What impressed me most was her willingness to go above and beyond. In addition to following my instructions, she offered to handle litter box duties, clean up unexpected messes, and vacuum around the litter box areas. Her attention to detail and proactive approach gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was away. I have several very shy cats who rarely come out for visitors, so I was amazed that they felt comfortable enough to come out and receive attention from Lindsay. That alone speaks volumes about her patient, gentle, and caring nature. Lindsay cared for both my indoor and outdoor cats with professionalism, compassion, and genuine affection. I returned home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean, well-maintained home. She exceeded my expectations in every way, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for personalized, reliable, and truly exceptional cat care. Thank you, Lindsay, for treating my cats with such kindness and care. Knowing they were in such capable hands allowed me to enjoy my time away without worry, and that peace of mind was truly priceless. I look forward to having you care for them again in the future. ❤️🐾
When you first meet Lindsay Y., you are drawn to her. I'm speaking on behalf of my family, but most importantly from "Bogi", "Leo", and "Kitty". (Our fur family). Lindsay loves animals, period. She has cared for our pets for many many years. When she comes to our home, she engages them, she sings to them, walks them, brings special toys/treats for them and talks with them. I remember a scenario where we returned home early from vacation, and all 4 of them were laying on the floor with pillows and watching TV! On another note, Lindsay is a loving and caring member of her family, responsible, confident, and a leader just in the fun spirit of life. I am most confident that she would be a strong addition to the Rover.com community.
