Availability

My schedule is flexible and varies throughout the month. I serve in the Navy Reserve and occasionally work at my family’s veterinary clinic when they need extra help, but outside of those commitments I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. When caring for your pet, they will have my full attention, and you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages!

Safety, trust & environment

Working in a veterinary clinic has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests, and I’m always keeping an eye on your pet’s comfort and well being. I will make your pet feel safe, loved, and as relaxed as possible when you’re away, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands!

Information Lindsey D. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs before our visit! Please let me know about medications, allergies, medical conditions, feeding schedules, favorite activities, fears, or behaviors that help me provide the best care possible. With my veterinary clinic experience, I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with additional medical needs. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can help your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor my care to their personality and needs! For active dogs, that may mean walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to explore and burn off energy. For more relaxed pets, it might mean cuddles on the couch, belly rubs, and keeping them company. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, enrichment activities, and of course respecting their personal space when they prefer a quiet nap. Throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pet stays on their normal routine and gets lots of love, attention, and care. I also love sending photos and updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away!

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant at my family’s veterinary clinic for the past 9 years, where I’ve helped care for dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, ages, and medical needs. Through my work at the clinic, I’ve become comfortable and skilled at administering medications and assisting with medical care, so I can confidently care for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, and the overall well being of your furry best friend. Outside of the clinic, I’ve raised multiple litters of rescue kittens, care for our clinic cats on weekends, and currently have three rescue cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love! I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection that I give my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away 💕
