Love & respect all animal. Reliable
Pet care experience
Creature’s have been in my life since birth. My dad raised beagles and there was always a cat or two in the house. We usually had some form of hunting dog around and I’ve raised plenty of my own cats and pups. I worked as a Vet Tech in Alabama for 3 years while in college. Assisted in the surgeries, post-op care. I was responsible for food, water and med care of all the animals on the weekends when the clinic was closed. I am a retired RN with good critical thinking skills. I have the utmost respect for others folks creatures and their routines. I'm an honest, reliable person with a big soft spot for all animals. I enjoy the happy energy of dogs when they get to go on walks. I also enjoy getting to know each animal personally through visits, walks and boarding of dogs in my home. I care for them as if they were my own. I love the individual personalities of each cat. I am currently walking dogs Monday thru Thursday. Boarding most days but only dogs up to ~30lbs because of my recent adoption of two small dogs who need to feel safe in my home. Larger dogs are very intimidating to them as they are 9 and 10 lbs. I am home most times other than dog walks. I have a fenced yard most dogs love to explore. I usually take my boarders on a 2 to 3 mile walk every day. My two dogs are very non- confrontational and welcoming as long as the dogs are on the small side.
Reviews
Lyn provided excellent care for our 2 young pugs for 5 days in her home. Not long into the stay, we received a concerned text about a spot on one of our dogs' eyes. The spot is a permanent patch from a previous surgery but we appreciated Lyn's observation, concern, and action to make sure it wasn't anything serious. Lyn is warm, welcoming, and clearly experienced at caring for dogs. We've used her services before and will request her services again in the future.
Thanks again to Lyn and family for taking such wonderful care of Theo ! I love that Lyn takes him for walks when he stays for boarding and that Lyn is so easy to communicate with. Love the photos and updates while I am out of town.
Lyn was absolutely wonderful! I’m so grateful for her and the care she took of my fur son. Already looking forward to our next booking!
We have used Lyn's services whenever we traveled. We used to go to downtown dog lounge but we found very impersonal care and the dogs stayed indoors all the time. With Lyn, our furbabies were walked regularly with daily access to the outdoors plus they were treated as babies with personal care since Lyn limits the number of furbabies in her care.

Safety, trust & environment
I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own which get along well with most visiting dogs. I have a fully fenced backyard that most dogs have a great time in. Lots of trees and plants, room to run around. I have double gating on both sides. No one has ever escaped. Most days I take my boarders for a good walk and on nice days we spend time in the backyard.

Let me know of any special needs, meds or care that is necessary for your dog. I am happy to comply with as much as I can comfortably do.
A typical day
I do at least a 1-2 mile walk daily with boarders. I have a fenced backyard that we go out in often as long as it’s not raining. In spring and summer we spend hours outdoors. If raining then I do have numerous toys and chews for all the dogs. Just FYI: I will never take a boarder to an off leash park for safety reasons.
