Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover/fenced yard/big toy box😊
I am a big dog lover and I have grown up around all sorts of animals. I love to hike and will take your dog with me! I also love cuddles, playing fetch, and anything else that your dog likes. I have experience with small and big dogs, as well as other animals. I am happy to meet all of your dogs needs! I have a house with all wood floors, so I happily take puppies that need a little help getting potty trained. I also recently fenced my yard! My pup is an escape artist so I have a dog gate that prevents dogs from getting out of my front door when I open it. If your dog is a puller on leash, I am very used to that! :) I am a big believer in positive training--I am happy to take puppies/dogs that are sensitive/need some extra help warming up. I think that fear-based/negative reinforcement training (things like yelling at dogs/pinning them to the ground--things that trainers still unfortunately do) are very bad and hurtful for dogs. You can assured that your dog will only receive encouragement and pets and treats at my house :) Also, one of my dogs has a disease that requires a daily pill and monthly shot, so I am very familiar with injections and pills. (I take medicine very seriously as I know the consequences can be dire of missing a dose). A little about me: I grew up in Montana and recently moved to Storrs upon graduation with my BA; I am looking to earn a little additional income and spend some time with dogs. I am a graduate student at UConn in the department of economics, currently. My schedule is fairly flexible and allows me to get home often. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs! I only take one client and a time and I always do careful introductions with you there. In my home, we are careful and have supervised play time with toys.
Ratings and reviews
Lindsey is always fantastic with our pets. Highly recommended.
Lindsey is fantastic and gives us so much comfort to know our dog and cat are in good hands when we go out of town. Always on time, excellent communication, and the pets love her.
I could not be happier with the great care Lindsey took of Archie. She allowed me to enjoy my vacation all while knowing my boy was safe, happy, and having loads of fun! I got just enough pictures and videos to satisfy my missing him without disrupting my vacation. Archie and her dog Eunice got along so well, and they left BFF‘s. I swear Archie didn’t want to come home. She followed all of my instructions, gave him oral medication (which he doesn’t take well), answered any questions I had while I was gone, gave him lots of playtime and took him to the park and on puppy play dates (with my permission)! Lindsey is incredibly sweet, communicative, flexible and I would trust her again with Archie in a heartbeat. I feel lucky to have found such a great sitter and I know Archie can't wait to hang with her and Eunice again!
Reliable and patient with my tough dogs. Will continue to book with her!
Lindsey was very great!! She did an amazing job keeping us updated and making our dog feel at home. I am glad we found someone we can trust!
She was great. Handled tough dogs well and took them for walks.

Schedule
I work from home other than a few hours a week, so I have plenty of time to exercise and spend time with your pup!
