Lover of all pets!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Rae (I can’t update it on my profile)! I have grown up with dogs and love them and most pets. In the past I’ve worked for a dog day camp. Working at the dog daycare allowed me to work with dogs at a professional level and I really enjoyed it. I have been doing Rover for the past 7 years and have house sat for a variety of dogs and cats.
Reviews
Lindsey was great with my pup! I left feeling very comfortable with her taking care of Molly for the weekend!
Unfortunately, we have to give Lindsey a bad review. She was very sweet and accommodating with our somewhat difficult dog but ultimately it didn’t work out. 1) Our dog was a total jerk and wouldn’t stop barking at her when she came to our house to dog-sit for the night. She had even come by a couple days before (free of charge) to meet him in hopes that would make him more comfortable. Ultimately, the night she came to house/dog-sit, he just wouldn’t calm down. We texted back and forth and I ultimately told her she could just leave him by himself for the night with the back slider open. 100% not her fault and she tried her best to make it work. 2) The reason for the 1 star review is because we returned the next day with our front door wide open (literally) and our dog roaming the neighborhood (also literally). She apparently exited out the front door, which she inadvertently didn’t shut. I’d be a little more understanding, but I told her to leave out the back gate and she had no key to lock the front door. So, even if she had closed it, it still would’ve been left unlocked. His water was also bone dry. Again, our dog was a jerk, but coming home to a dog roaming the neighborhood and our front door wide open was really shocking. Hopefully this was just a bad night for Lindsey, because she was very sweet.
On time. Friendly. My dog was relaxed and happy. Can’t wait to have Lindsey work with Porkchop again!
Lindsey did a great job caring for my sweet old dog. She communicated so that I knew all was well and she was so flexible! She even came over for an extra last minute visit when we were severely delayed by weather. I will definitely book her again!
About Lindsey B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to first meet the pet prior so they’re more familiar with me. When I then start to interact with pets alone, I always slowly approach them and enter their home so I don’t startle them. I have unfortunately had experiences with dogs that were not friendly towards me, so that also provided me a lot to reflect on how I approach a clients home.
Information Lindsey B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog has an anxeities or how they do with other dogs and animals. To allow me to be a successful caretaker for your animal, I typically request details regarding your pet (food, walks, medications, etc.).
A typical day
I always love to play with dogs and do little activities to get to know them more. A fun day to me would be taking a dog to the park or beach and to have a higher energy day! I always love seeing dogs get so excited in spaces like that, so if your dog is comfortable doing that I absolutely can.
