Dog's Best Pal Trust a Fellow Owner

Pet care experience

Drawing from a lifetime of dedicated dog ownership and a genuine passion for canine companionship, my journey with dogs began in my childhood home, where my family bred golden retrievers, setting the stage for a lifelong love affair with dogs. From those formative years onward, I've been intimately involved in caring for many canine friends. I've overseen the nurturing litters of up to 10 pups, from the tender moments of their birth to the joyous occasion of finding them forever homes. I've also owned and trained three dogs in the last decade, two golden retrievers and one rescue, and I understand the importance of exercie I've always shared a special bond with dogs, from their playful puppyhood to the graceful stages of old age. My knack for connecting with pups of all stripes comes from years of practice, and I'm all about giving each doggo the personalized TLC they deserve. While I devote my weekdays to my role at Outdoor Gear Exchange, mornings, evenings, and most weekends are dedicated to hanging out with my four-legged pals. Let me introduce you to my dynamic golden duo, Macha, the seasoned 9-year-old, and Lyra, the playful 1-year-old. We're all about outdoor adventures, whether it's hitting the trails, the lake, or just chilling at the dog park rain or shine. Macha and Lyra love the company of other dogs, and they eagerly welcome new furry friends to join us. Together, we promise to tire out every pup we meet and send them home with tails wagging. However, if your pup would rather go solo, that's fine too, just let me know! Hand over your furry buddy to us, and they'll get treated like royalty with loads of love, attention, and customized care. It's not just a walk in the park; it's a memory-making, tail-wagging good time for your pup and you!

Lindsey is a compassionate, hardworking, and genuine person who loves animals! She has experience with raising new born puppies, all the way to adulthood. Lindsey is very adventurous and loves being outdoors. She’s always bringing her golden for walks and adventures! She has helped me raise my two Golden’s, and I couldn’t be more thankful for her patience, and ambition!

I lived with Lindsey for about 5 months and she is quite the dog lover! She grew up with a family of 3 golden retrievers (grandma, mommy, and daughter). Currently she has been actively taking care of the youngest of the three and she is a phenomenal mommy to her dog! She always takes her pup on long walks/hikes and fun adventures. Lindsey is a caring and responsible dog owner and I highly reccoment her as a dog sitter!

Lindsey grew up in a family that breeds Goldens as a hobby. She has had dogs around her whole life and loves them very much. Bringing her dog macha to the dog park in burlington is one of her favorite activities. She is caring individual and is not phased by the not as nice parts of owning a pet: picking up poop, giving a bath, picking off ticks, brushing, etc. I think she'd make a great dog walker.

I have been friends with Lindsey for many years now, and have watched her welcome many pets into her family! She treats her dog, Macha, with so much love and care it's amazing to watch. She has experience with puppies and adult dogs, and has a keen eye for what they want and how they are feeling. I would strongly recommend Lindsey as a dog sitter or walker!!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently only doing walks and drop-in visits. When coming into your home I would greet you dog gently and give them a treat, then I would follow the care instructions you've provided. When walking your dog I would make sure that they are able to do all of their business and get the opportunity to really stretch their legs. Depending on the timing we have available I could also take them to the beach or the dog park. With your approval, I would bring my dogs as well, which would assure your dog is tired and happy. My home is fully dog-proofed, there are no exposed wires or other chewing hazards. Your dog would join my pack of two golden retrievers, and be treated like the royalty that they are. We have a partially fenced backyard that is set back away from the street, it's the perfect place for a game of fetch (I have a long lead if needed). I have dog beds in each room and also allow them on furniture. If crate trained, I have medium and large crates available.

Information Lindsey G. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of your dog, I would like to know about any specific needs that he or she has. Do they need any medications? Do they play well with others? etc. I would also like to know what their favorite activities are, so that they can have the most fun doing what they love. This will ensure that they are as comfortable as possible during their time with me.

A typical day

Your dog and I will spend a lot of time outside, whether it's a walk around your neighborhood, a game of fetch in your backyard, a trip to a dog friendly park, or a hike in the Grater Burlington area. I am willing to do whatever makes your dog most happy.
