Pet care experience

Hello I’m Lourdes, but everyone calls me Lindy. I offer dog walking, boarding, drop-ins and house-sitting. I love how boarding is a great option for some pets who feel more comfortable in their own home. I also make sure to keep your home tidy and neat as I found it. I’ve been taking care of dogs all my life, I had several dogs throughout my life. I’m new to my area Arlington Massachusetts would like to start dog sitting and dog waking again, I have a deep admiration for dogs. Long walks are just better with a dog by your side!🐶😊

Lindy (Lourdes) took care of our 11-month old lab puppy and 20 year old cat for 5 days and was amazing!! She sent multiple photos and updates each day and we were completely comfortable having her stay at our house and take care of our pets and was very respectful of our home. She was very responsive with any questions we had. She took our dog for multiple walks a day, including long walks in the snow. This is the second time she has stayed with our pets and we're hoping she's available for a third time in April, we couldn't be happier!

MAX is our New Boston Terrier puppy, and as puppies are they need frequent meals and potty breaks. Lourdes did a fabulous job with Max's lunch and breaks . It was clear that Max loved being with Lourdes. She really came through to help us in a pinch. We got many pics /texts and he was in good hands!

Lindy is 100% remarkable as a pet sitter. No exaggeration! She stayed for five days with our PTSD (and VERY challenging) little three-legged dog, and completely won him over with patience, kindness, dog-whispering wisdom, and calm. Our cat was also clearly petted, brushed and loved. She's a pleasure to work with for humans, too: communication excellent the whole time, photos adorable...and our house was neat as a pin to come home to. Thank you Lindy!
