Pet care experience
Besides the fact that I'm obsessed with dogs and have lots of love and attention to give them. I've been around dogs my entire life and I'm comfortable with all breeds. For 8 years I dog sat for four dogs (all various ages, breeds, and sizes) in San Diego. This would include overnight sleepovers (sometimes for weeks at a time), feeding, walking, running, playing ball, trips to dog beach, drop-ins, and overall care. When I relocated to Asheville in November of 2019 a family member suggested I check out Rover since I was such a big dog lover. I’ve been doing it ever since and I’ve loved every moment of it. We have a great space to host your dog overnight. We live in a stand-alone house with a fenced-in yard and a great little neighborhood that's lovely for walks. One important thing worth mentioning is that I have a little one, at the time of writing this he is just shy of his 3rd birthday. He's mobile and on the go, and LOVES dogs. But because I have the little guy, I prefer to only take dogs who don't have aggression issues. I'm very mindful of his interactions with the dogs and I don't want to stress out your dog but being chill and comfortable around kids is a must for me. I always set up a meet and greet before committing to make sure we are a good fit for your furbaby.
Reviews
Lindsey was excellent! This was my first time using Rover and the first time I've left my baby with someone other than family. She made me feel so comfortable and made the process easy. She sent me photos every day and checked in to let me know how things were going. Highly recommend!
My husband and I have never left our 11-year-old dog with anyone other than family before, so we were anxious about a stranger caring for him while we traveled for the holidays. Flying him out with us or boarding him were out of the question. Lindsey was so sweet to set up a meet and greet prior to booking and kept us updated on how he was doing while we were away. We even had our flight cancelled on the way home and couldn't get back to Asheville for three more days and she didn't hesitate to continue caring for him. We are so grateful, and we know our dog was well loved and taken care of. He can't wait to see her again when we need it!
Lindsey was excellent! She was so accommodating to our last minute booking and flexible with time constraints. Our dog seems like she had a wonderful time, I'm sure we'll be booking again!
Lindsey was superb. So warm, welcoming and easygoing. Will absolutely book again!

The backyard gets great afternoon sun and many of the pups I watch love sunbathing back there. I also have a great front porch that has a gate and is perfect for keeping watch. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! ***Your dog must be able to climb stairs. Unfortunately, there is no way around that at my home. There are many stairs that lead from the back deck to the yard, upstairs to downstairs, and stairs off the front porch (only four)***

Information Lindsey M. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about your furry friend! After doing this for a long time here are a few of the questions I'll always ask you: -Are there any health issues I should be made aware of? -Would your dog be okay if I left him/her alone for a little bit? I'm usually always home but sometimes I need to run an errand or two. If you're more comfortable with me crating them when I leave I can do that too - but it's not necessary if you feel they won't need it. -Do they get along with other dogs, and children? -How many walks per day? -How are they on the leash? -Anything important you think I should know? (i.e. doesn't like cats, doesn't like trucks, won't walk in the rain, only poops on walks, never poops on walk, cant have human food, obsessed with balls, etc.) I don't have any breed preferences but I would prefer there were no aggression issues and your pup is housebroken - but I do understand that accidents happen! Please bring anything you feel will make a more enjoyable stay for your dog: bed, toys, stuffies, blankets, treats, crate, etc.
A typical day
Getting outside for fresh air and walks is a requirement in our home. We don't care what the weather is doing outside, we still get out and walk. There are also 4 baseball fields behind our house, which all have gates you can close. Depending on the dog and owner's comfort level I bring the pups I watch to play ball, throw the frisbee, and burn off some energy. I only do this if it's okay with the owner, otherwise, I'll never take your dog off-leash.

Lindsey can host
Availability
I work from home so your dog will get lots of love, pets, snuggles, walks, and potty breaks. Because I have the fenced-in yard your dog can watch all the squirrels run around and get fresh air whenever it wants.
