Experienced Animal Trainer/Lover
Pet care experience
I have many years of animal care experience, beginning when I was just a kid helping out the neighbors with their pets. I have since become a certified dog trainer and specialize in obedience and behavioral issues. In addition to walking, sitting, and boarding, I can offer a variety of structured training and socialization opportunities to interested clients. I have experience handling dogs of all sizes and breeds, ages, and personalities. I am passionate about helping people with their dog care and stay up to date on nutritional information, veterinary care procedures, and many other relevant animal care topics. I take pleasure in getting to know each of my clients and their individual needs. I take great pride in my work and my goal is for clients to know their dog is well cared for in their absence. I also am an equal-opportunity animal lover! I adore all types of furry, feathered, scaly, and other creatures, and have experience caring for many pets beyond canines and felines. I have a full time, semi-remote job at UCSB that I love, and that allows me the freedom to invite animals into my life as at caretaker. The best pet-care fit for me are animals who are comfortable with at least 1-2 hours of alone time. Weekends allow me the opportunity to be active and fully available for pet care. I have a fenced yard (landscaping includes mulch), and the ability to let pets wander freely in and out of the house. There is a cat door installed, so please keep this in mind if your pet is familiar with this design, or at all prone to prey drive or escape behavior.
Reviews
Lindsey has a deep love for dogs and cats, and her passion is evident in all of her interactions with them. She is also experienced in training puppies and is a very patient and calm presence. I trust her to care for my dog, and I am extremely picky :)
Lindsey is great with animals. She has taken care of both our dog and cat many times. She is a dog trainer so know that your dog is in good hands.

Information Lindsey Y. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the name, age, breed, and vaccination information before I meet a client. I have no breed preferences but would like to be made aware if the dog has any known behavioral, medical, or social issues, or any other special needs.
A typical day
I love the outdoors, enjoy activities like hiking and going to the beach. I'm experienced in working with dog packs so I am comfortable bringing your dog on agreed-upon outings that might suit your pup's energy level and social needs. With the freedom of the outdoors, a secure sense of Recall is necessary for the pets I care for. Please inform me if your pet is not allowed off-leash.
