Trustworthy dog-lover

Pet care experience

I grew up with retrievers for the first 20 years of my life, and since I've lived in the city, I have walked and doggysat for several small and medium sized dogs. I have had dogs stay in my apartment, and I have also visited the owners' apartments. I love hanging out with animals, and they usually like me right away. I work from home a good portion of the time, so I am available to provide lots of attention. My home is pet-friendly; there's not a lot of trouble to get into at my place. I'm also trained as a psychologist, so I have a good grasp of the behavioral psychology principles used in dog training. Your dog just might return to you better behaved than you left him or her!

I brought my Yorkie, Iggy, to stay with Lindsey for two nights. She was easy to coordinate with, her apartment was clean and comfortable, and she is a genuine dog lover, so I felt at ease about leaving him with her for the first time, especially as new places can be disorienting for him. I picked up a very calm, happy pup who looked like he'd been on vacation too! I will definitely ask Lindsey to sit Iggy again, and I highly recommend her. She knows a lot about dogs and behavioral conditioning, which was really important because she did not reinforce bad behaviors that other sitters sometimes do (e.g., barking for attention), but she even helped extinguish them!! Bonus: She'll send picture updates.

Lindsey came through for me in a doggie emergency twice! She was prompt and responsive to my texts and came over to feed and walk the dog while I was at work. She has also kept the dog overnight at her house, and took very good care of her. She is great with rescue dogs or other dogs that have experienced trauma and need a little extra TLC, patience and time to get acclimated to a new situation. Two thumbs up!
