Unfortunately, I live an apartment complex so I’m unable to have animals over at my place. However, I would be happy to make the trip to your home to take care of your pet. Your pet is my top priority!

Information Lindsey H. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know the typical information about how they are around other animals, with strangers, if they’re scared of certain things, etc. In addition, I’d love to hear a bit about their personality, favorite toy, favorite place to be pet, favorite activity, and so on. Any information you’re willing to give is greatly appreciated!

A typical day

I love to take dogs to different parks for exercise and stimulation. I’ve found that new smells and scenery really help to strengthen the quality of the walk for a dog. Although, some dogs who tend to be more anxious thrive in familiar settings. It all depends on the dog! One thing to note is that I will not take your dog to a dog park until you, your dog, and I are all comfortable with each other. I need to know that your dog will listen and respond well to me. In terms of activities with cats, I will primarily take the cues from your cat. If they seem to want pets or cuddles then I will be happy to provide that and I will always offer to play with them if they seem interested. However, I understand that cats like to have space and independence so I am also happy to just sit in the same room and provide some company.

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved dogs more than anything… my first word was even “doggy!” I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been taking care of them for 18 years. I started dog sitting for neighbors and family friends 8 years ago. I also have been trained by the Nashville Humane Association as a volunteer and spend a lot of time around dogs in the shelter.

Lindsey was absolutely wonderful. She was highly attentive, responsive, and took incredible care of my elderly dog. It gave me total peace of mind, and I highly recommend her services!

Lindsey was very communicative, considerate and took time to get to know my Fleur before her first sit. I’m looking forward to more visits!

I cannot say more good things about Lindsey……..truly! She is the kindest and most sincere person and that's the exact person you would want to trust with your fur babies. I’m always very worried walkers/ dog sitters won’t be as kind or as patient with my babies, because they are alot. But holy crap, all my worries were washed away especially when she sent a selfie of my two pups cuddled up with her. She's flexible, prompt, and follows instructions flawlessly…hands down the best dog walker I've used. My two crazy puppies love her. And my oh my, does she send the best candid photos of them. 10/10
