Special care and lots of love!
Pet care experience
Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, fish, newts, turtles, geckos, I've owned them all! I've been an animal-lover my whole life, and since I decided vet school was a bit too expensive, I've been content to care for all types of animals. I have owned cats my entire life and did dog sitting for many years even before I adopted my dogs. I have worked part-time at a dog groomer as well, so I am happy to provide nail trims/grinding during visits/walks to willing dogs and cats, and baths/light trims during house sitting. In my home, I have two small dogs and a cat. One of my dogs is a super-senior with numerous medical issues, so I am very familiar with caring for senior and special-needs dogs. The other pupper is a bit hyper, so I also know how to exercise and play with younger dogs. My schedule is quite flexible and I am adaptable to different needs, so if your pet needs special care or an unusual walk schedule, let me know. I am also happy to run with dogs that need the exercise or play fetch, tug, or any other game your dog loves.
Reviews
Lindsey is an excellent cat sitter. Our cats can be challenging and she handled their needs expertly.
Our cats love Lindsey. She is a natural with cats! Each time she came they were excited to see her even showed off a bit for her.
Lindsey has been an incredible companion for our two kitties when we are away. They both enjoy their time with her but one cat is particularly attached and comes running to see her when he hears her voice. Lindsey is always our first choice when looking for a sitter!
Thanks for taking such good care of Perpetua and Celeste last week. Both kitties were calm when I returned. They enjoyed playing with you and you became their new best friend because you fed them!

Information Lindsey S. would like to know about your pet
I squeal over basically any dog, but if your dogs likes cuddles, I will be extra jazzed. When I do a Meet and Greet, I like to learn a bit about your dog's temperament. Does your dog do well with strangers? with other dogs? Is there anything that makes your dog particularly anxious/scared that I should know? If you're requesting any grooming/nail trim, has your dog been groomed/had their nails trimmed before and if so, how did they react to it?
A typical day
Since dogs love to mark out their area, I usually like to walk in their neighborhood, but also frequently enjoy walking with my dogs on the Olentangy trail or any other nearby parks. I also know a couple of good fenced areas in my area for playing fetch and just to run around in, if that's the play your dog likes best.
