Stay-at-Home PhD Student Who <3 Dog

Pet care experience

Hello! I have two animal companions - Kinsey (5 year old border collie mix) the pup and Hugo the cat. My family has always had multiple dogs and cats as family members (usually golden retrievers!) and my sister currently works for the Humane Society. I am a full time PhD student so I am home all day and would love to bring some friends in for Kinsey to play with! I have a decent sized apartment in a high rise; there is large grassy area out front and we are about a 10-15 minute walk from the Belmont Dog Beach. Hugo is pretty shy and will probably be hiding most of the time if a new animal is here. My husband (TJ) will be around in the evenings too. Lastly - just as a fun fact - I have both Kinsey and Hugo tattooed on my arm :)

Lindsey was wonderful! We were able to enjoy the Cubs game without worrying about our doggies at all. (And she is in perfect proximity to Wrigley Field too!) She was easy to schedule and very accommodating. Our doggies were in great hands and I would definitely recommend her for your doggie care needs!

Lindsey responded quickly and did a great job! She was flexible when my schedule ran late and sent several pics of Fiona who clearly had a great time. Would definitely have her keep her again!

I have known Lindsey for 13 years, and I have seen her raise a lovely orange cat named Hugo and a happy black puppy named Kinsey--both rescues. Lindsey cares so much for her own pets and for the welfare of animals in general. For instance, she adopted Kinsey specifically because she knows black cats and dogs are often overlooked at shelters. She's also a vegetarian and an avid volunteer for human and animal issues. She also ensures that her own pets receive the best care when she travels. For these reasons, I can assure anyone considering hiring her that she will take the best care of pets in her charge! Not only is she incredibly empathic, but she's also a PhD candidate, a status that takes perseverance and responsibility to achieve. You can leave your pets with Lindsey and rest assured that they're receiving love and care while you're away! (Review written by a dog mom--11 years and counting!)
