As someone who works from home, I’m able to provide hands-on, attentive care throughout the day—your dog will experience little to no time left alone while staying with us. I share my home with two calm, well-socialized Australian Shepherds who spend most of their time relaxing with occasional bursts of playful energy in our spacious backyard. My two teens (ages 14 and 17) are animal lovers and enjoy helping care for our guests, ensuring your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. With constant supervision and a warm, active household, your pup will feel comfortable, safe, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

My home sits on over an acre of land with a fully fenced 4-foot yard—perfect for furbaby to run, play, and relax in a safe, open space. Your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you're away. My two responsible teens are passionate about animals and love spending time with our furry guests, ensuring each dog feels like part of the family. We also have one cat who keeps to herself upstairs and is never in contact with the dogs. Because of this, I kindly ask that we do not accept dogs with a known history of aggression or issues with cats. My top priority is to create a comfortable, fun, and safe environment where your pet feels happy and at home. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands while you’re away.

Information Lindy S. would like to know about your pet

I love getting to know each furbaby individually and appreciate knowing about your dog’s personality, routine, and any specific needs they may have. To help me provide the best care possible, I’ll send a care instruction form for you to complete prior to your dog’s stay. I also require a meet and greet before any booking. This helps ensure a good fit for everyone and allows your dog to get familiar with the environment. At this time, I do not accept aggressive dogs or dogs that are not potty trained. Important Boarding Information 🐶 Aggressive Dog Policy For the safety of all pets and people in my home, I do not accept aggressive dogs. Behavior will be assessed during the meet and greet. If a dog displays aggression during their stay, they will be separated and must be picked up by the owner or emergency contact immediately. 🐾 Puppy Policy I welcome well-behaved puppies who are fully potty trained and can make it through the night without accidents. If a puppy is not potty trained by the booking date, a fee adjustment will be required to reflect the additional care involved. 💉 Vaccination & Flea/Tick Policy All dogs must be up to date on core vaccines: Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella, and must be on a flea and tick preventative. This helps protect everyone and keeps the environment safe and healthy. 🏠 Property Damage and Policy Owners may be responsible for any significant damage to property caused by their dog. This also applies to any accidents and marking that requires clean. In such cases, a booking modification may be required for damage and/or cleaning fees. 🩺 Illness Policy If your dog shows any signs of illness, such as vomiting or diarrhea, they must be picked up immediately. If neither the owner nor emergency contact is reachable, your pet will be taken to a vet at the owner’s expense. Cleaning fees may also apply. By confirming your booking, you acknowledge and agree to the above policies to help ensure a safe, happy, and stress-free experience for all.

A typical day

I have two sweet and playful Australian Shepherds who love making new doggy friends! They’re friendly with dogs of all breeds and sizes and are happy to share their toys, beds, and healthy treats (if allowed). While your furbaby is in my care, we’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor time—playing fetch, running around the yard, or just lounging in the sun. If the weather allows, we’ll also go for walks around my quiet neighborhood. Your dog will get tons of love, belly rubs, and personal attention throughout their stay. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and videos, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Welcome! Whether your furbaby is staying overnight or I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit, you can trust they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furbaby is in the best hands possible. 🐶 Dog Boarding: I currently offer overnight boarding for dogs only in my home, accepting up to 3-4 dogs at a time. This limited number allows me to provide personalized care, plenty of space to play, and a loving, safe environment. 🐈🐕 Cat & Dog Drop-Ins: I provide drop-in visits for cats and dogs in the comfort of their own home. This allows your furry friend to stay in their familiar environment while still receiving affection, food, litter box care, and attention.

Lindy was an amazing host for our two dogs. We needed her last minute and she was accommodating, friendly and really just the best! Our dogs came home well taken care of and happy. If you’re like us and a little picky about the homes your dogs stay in- you’ll be thrilled with Lindy’s. Meticulously clean and a spacious, grassy and fenced backyard. We’re so thankful for Lindy and will definitely be booking next time we need a spot for our pups!

Lindy looked after our dog for three weeks. She gave us updates and photos daily. We enjoyed that. Our dog had the best time and we were thrilled she was so well cared for. Lindy and her family genuinely love dogs. She enjoys our dog’s personality and uniqueness. Thank you Lindy. We get such peace of mind when Gypsy stays with you.

This was Sunny's second time with Lindy and she loves being part of the pack there! She's super tired when we bring her home but we know she has lived her best life while we were away. Lindy sends daily pictures of Sunny and we know she is being well cared for just like one of the family!
