Pet care experience

Lifelong Pet Helper!

Hi! I have always had passion for all animals, and my love for pets was a perfect fit at the animal hospitals I worked for. I joined the military and decided to pursue a career in biological chemistry to study diseases that effect both humans and animals. With all the research and investing in my career, I am definitely missing my quality time with four legged friends. As long as I'm available, I cherish opportunities to care for your pet. I'm perceptive to body language and behavior changes. The idea is to 'listen' to your furry family member - they let us know what they want to keep them comfortable and happy! My natural empathy for animals and experience as a pet owner is balanced with a wealth of professional knowledge. Just think of me as your pet's helper!

Safety, trust & environment

I feel most comfortable walking with your pet in a harness or fixed lead. I watch carefully for discarded trash or debris so that furry friends don't get themselves into trouble they can't themselves out of. I am reluctant to transport in my vehicle without a harness or a system that keeps them secure. All in all, my mission is return them to you as healthy as (or better than!) before.

Our dog is always a little nervous about meeting new people and comes with some quirks, but Lynda listened to his cues and tried to make him as comfortable as possible with all the change of us being away. She was very flexible when our plans changed a little bit. We were so glad we didn’t have to worry about him while being away!

Lynda stepped in when I needed last minute care for my pup and I am so thankful for her! My little guy is slow to warm up and skittish due to shelter life and low vision / hearing. but she has been a pro approaching him and caring for him, and she has gained his trust. Lynda is wonderful!!

Lynda is a true angel! She is so diligent and conscientious about every aspect of caring for my little old man. We are repeat clients and look forward to seeing Lynda every week. I wish I could give 100 stars!!

Lynda was able to help me out in a pinch, took great care of Koda and made sure to keep him safe from other dogs.

Working at a vet hospital doesn't lend the privilege of choosing what breeds come through the door. I have literally handled pets that range from timid to fearless. I'll ask lots of questions about behavior, potential interactions, and observe any preferences you might have.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
