Lifelong Pet Helper!

Pet care experience

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!

She was a little late but she did a great job with my kitty and adjusted the booking! Spock was happy when I got home, thanks so much for checking in on my kitty!

I'm very comfortable with Lynda and how she handles my dog! I would recommend her all the time. Great and honest updates! I'll definitely reach out again.

Lynda is amazing! My first time using rover was with her and she’s very communicative, and understanding. She made this experience very comfortable and I know my pup is in good hands when I’m away. Definitely booking with her again!

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.

Information Lynda F. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

If you have a young or high energy dog, I'll take them on a run with me on the path or route of your choice. (Maybe those 5-mile brigade runs will serve me afterall!) I'm always down for fetch or keep-away.

I regularly work 10+ hour shifts at a level 1 trauma hosptal. My days off change from week to week. It's only fair that I be transparent about what requests I can reasonably accommodate. As long as you're in the neighborhood, I'm always willing to lend a hand.
