Flexible PUP LOVER: Small pup owner
Pet care experience
I grew up always having dogs in my home. I currently have two- Zeus (Mini Aussie) and Jax (Chihuahua)! As a fellow dog mama I know how you feel leaving your pup in the care of someone else. Rest assured as we will be in contact through the services provided, with photos! I will provide a safe space with positive reinforcement, belly scratches, exercise, along with tons of cuddles! I have proficient experience working with small dog breeds as well as select giant breeds. See my photos for past clients pups! Many of my clients have trusted me to provide services in their homes where pups are sometimes more comfortable. My home has a generous sized yard that is completely fenced in. When it is nice enough we enjoy spending time outside relaxing and playing a game of fetch or chase. Otherwise my pups are pretty mellow and low energy. I have a Furbo dog camera that allows me to see what our pups are up to when alone. The camera allows me to speak to them, toss a treat or just monitor them. It is also set up to alert me if there is an emergency in the home such as a fire, carbon monoxide alarm, etc. We love having new guests and can't wait to meet you and your fur-baby!
Reviews
After a successful meet & greet, I decided to try Linsie. I received a message from Linsie around 8 pm on the day I dropped Oslo off and it said I had to pick him up because he was "fighting" with her dog Jax. I know my dog, who has been at doggie daycare, other homes with dogs and Oslo has never even growled at another dog, so I asked her to call me. She then said Oslo wasn't "fighting" with Jax, but just wouldn't leave Jax alone. (Pretty big difference). Said something to the effect that Jax doesn't really like being around other dogs...Uh, then maybe you shouldn't be watching other dogs...??? Since I was 2 1/2 hours away, there was no way for me to pick him up. You can imagine what chaos this created on my end trying to find someone to watch Oslo. So much for a pleasant night away. I can't help but wonder why she didn't just lease Oslo if he was being a pest. Was it more about having to keep an eye on him during her dinner party???
Linsie was AMAZING! My dog gets very nervous when boarded but she was instantly comfortable with Linsie! She sent photos and kept me up to date with detailed messages and pictures of my dog which had me at ease while away.
I've got 4 dogs and Linsie is totally confident about managing the situation. The dogs seem happy to see her when she arrives and she seems to have a true love of dogs. She individualizes her care according to each dog's needs. I like that she has a firm but kind way of letting a dog know that a certain behavior is not OK. I love getting the doggie pics she sends me while I'm gone!
Linsie is an amazing pet caregiver! We have used her to feed, walk, play with, give medicine to and just let out our rambunctious mini-goldendoodle for months now, and I could not recommend her more. I trust her implicitly and even let her enter the home when we are gone to get Bailey taken care of during the day. Bailey adores her, and we do too!!

Home
Information Linsie M. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate all the knowledge you can share about your dogs routine, personality, behaviors, and needs. I like to know how they interact and their energy levels. If they have any special needs or specific feeding schedule. If they are used to being off leash or having a fenced in yard?
A typical day
Of course fetch is a favorite in our house. Another game we play to stimulate both mentally and physically is "Find it" I hide treats inside or outside and the pups find them!
