Reliable & Loving Pet Care

Hello there! I'm a PhD student at OSU with a passion for animals and a background in understanding their emotions, as reflected in my honors thesis on companion animals. With over 6 years of dedicated cat sitting and dog walking experience, I've become a trusted companion for many furry friends in Corvallis & Philomath. I take pride in my long-term relationships with clients, providing reliable and caring services. Whether it's walking reactive dogs, taking care of cats with big personalities, or handling multiple dogs at once (3+), I approach each situation with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for our four-legged friends. Previously, I worked as a rehab tech at a local stable, where I assisted horses in their rehabilitation journey. I have also worked with animals who required medications or had special needs. These experiences have honed my ability to adapt to different needs and personalities, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I'm not just a pet caregiver; I'm a friendly, experienced, and trustworthy companion for your pets. Let's create a paw-sitive experience for your furry family members!

Lindsay did a great job of doing drop in visits for our cats while we were away for 4 days! She was communicative and went above and beyond with updates and making sure everything was okay when we were away.

Lindsey did such a wonderful job taking care of our cat Rocky while we were away for two weeks. Her daily reports and pictures of rock were a comfort. We definitely will ask Lindsey to take care of our cat the next time we are away and highly recommend her to others.

Lindsey was able to book a week long check-in schedule with short notice and took great care of our cats! We had one miscommunication during the trip but Lindsey was quick to respond and remedy the situation and even spent extra time with our kitties to make sure they got enough attention. She also offered to add additional check-ins at the end of our trip in the case that we might have a delay. We plan to book with her again

Safety, trust & environment

Ensuring the well-being of your pet is my top priority, and I strive to create a seamless experience whether caring for them in my home or yours. To align with your pet's established routine, I'll discuss and familiarize myself with the training cues you use. This ensures that I maintain consistency and reinforce the behaviors that are important to you and your pet. Additionally, I take proactive measures to address potential emergencies. I'll walk you through my emergency protocol, covering all essential aspects to guarantee a comprehensive and well-prepared approach. Open communication and careful consideration of your pet's unique needs are fundamental to my care philosophy, providing you with peace of mind while your furry friend is in my care.

Pets

A typical day

I love exploring new trails, parks, and pathways on walks! I usually steer clear of other dogs or groups of people in order to ensure that your pet is safe, happy, and healthy.

It's important for me to know about your dog's training levels (there's no shame here - training is tough!) as it allows me to better understand your dog and communicate with them in a way that they are most familiar with. I also want to know their anxiety levels, if they're reactive or not, and if there is anything I should look out for on our walks or during our time together. For cats, I like to know about their personalities, if they like to try to sneak out the door, and if they have any necessary medical information that I should know!
