Availability

My work schedule is generally 8:30 - 4:30, with at least one remote workday per week. Usually, I have one day per week that I do field work, which makes for a longer workday, but I always know in advance so I can plan accordingly. On a typical day, I walk my own dog from 7:00-7:30am, come home for a walk at lunch around 12:00pm, and do a longer walk around 5:00pm with a short bedtime potty break around 9:00pm (sometimes earlier or later depending on how late we're up!) As Aldo has gotten older, he generally prefers shorter walks/hikes, but I am always flexible to make the length and difficulty of walks match your pets' needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Aldo is crate-trained, and I still have a spare large crate to use if needed. Safety is my biggest concern, especially because he will get into any crumbs or trash can if given the opportunity. I have a security cam set up in my home that I check remotely to make sure pets are doing well throughout the day. I do not have multiple pets out in the living areas together when unsupervised, unless they're very familiar with one another.

Information Lindsey R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any medication needs while they're with me. It'd also be great to know if they have any triggers or anything they should avoid. I'm used to writing a novel of details when my sitter takes Aldo, so there's no such thing as too much information!

A typical day

We love walking the rail trail that backs up to my apartment. Since I recently moved to Oxford, I'm still learning the best places to go for walks, hikes, and play. I'm always happy to take any suggestions or follow the routine you have for your pet!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Lindsey, and I can't wait to meet your pet! I've been around animals my entire life, from cats to dogs, and have provided excellent care to captive animals such as wolves, bobcats, and more. I have about two years of professional dog grooming experience. I have degrees in environmental science, and am currently a postdoc researcher at the University of Mississippi. I took a break from doing Rover during graduate school, so my profile has been largely inactive since ~2019, but now that I have a normal schedule again, I'm back at it! My work schedule is generally flexible, so I can work around it to fit the best possible care for your pet. There is a dog park at my apartment I love to use, and the rail trail here in Oxford backs right up to my complex making longer walks convenient. I know I want the absolute best care for my own dog, so I promise the best care for your pets as long as they are with me!

Lindsey was awesome! She took outstanding care of our pets and really helped us to relax on vacation knowing that our animals were safe and happy.

Lindsey was fabulous! She updated us very frequently and even let our sweet beagle sleep with her! I highly recommend having Lindsey watch your babies :)

Lindsey is a wonderful sitter! She communicates in a timely manner and was great in accomodating my schedule. She was patient and gentle with my anxious dog and they got along great.

Lindsey has been an outstanding dog-sitter for Liberty while I go out of town for business. She is thoughtful, quick to respond, sent me photos (which any parent loves) and was reasonably priced. She provided ample play time between Lib and her own dog, took Lib out regularly, followed my instructions regarding food and so forth as well. She even met me in easy to exchange places which was a huge help. I knew Lib was well cared for because once when she dropped her off, Lib enthusiastically came and let me pet her, then promptly jumped back in Lindsey's car to go back with her as if she was just visiting me. Max stars and all thumbs up!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
