Lindy is great! I would recommend her to anyone. She is friendly and prompt and takes lots of pics and gives a detailed Rover card. She is very communicative and responsive and she is so sweet to our dog.

House Sitting • Dec 06, 2019

Lindy provided better care for my two dogs than anyone has - ever! We were away for 7 days and Lindy stayed at our house. I have one very senior dog with limited mobility who gets meds three times a day. She took such good care of him that I was able to enjoy my weeklong trip and not be worried about him at all. She sent photo updates every day, and she even picked up the dog poop in our yard in advance of a sudden snowstorm so we wouldn't have those extra "gifts" in the spring! And speaking of the storm, she shoveled a path into our yard so our small dog didn't have to bust drifts to do her business. Seriously, Lindy is the absolute best. You should have zero hesitation about hiring her to watch after your home and/or pets.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard. I have reflective gloves and reflectors on the leash, as well as a light I can attach to a harness while walking. We have a child and animal friendly home with out of reach trash and cleaning supplies.

A typical day

We generally walk one to two times a day, often with a neighbor and their dog. We stop for some sniffs, can run off leash at a local tennis court (winter) or hockey rink (summer) depending on the season. For social and active dogs I plan play dates and our couch is an excellent spring board and we have a weed-free, and burr-free back yard. I enjoy brushing, tossing a ball, and encouraging outdoor zooms. If you dog is licensed for the MN River dog park and has good recall, we'd love to hike with them there also with your permission, or if there's another dog park closer you dog has that's a fan favorite.

What do I need to know about your dog? Does it walk with a loose leash? What are the words and signals they know? Do they have any sore spots, anxiety, aggression, are they counter surfers, barkers, howlers? My St Bernard used to not like Great Danes... And one dog I watch doesn't like German Shepherds. Cue me into your pups likes, dislikes, and how we can be best together.
