Hello everyone! My name is Lyndsay, and I’ve been working with animals for over 20 years. I grew up on a three-acre ranch surrounded by just about every animal you can imagine—dogs, cats, horses, turtles, fish, a rabbit, a guinea pig, a rat, and even a frog. My lifelong passion for animals began early, and at just 15 years old I landed my first job at a petting zoo. That experience led me to Petsmart, where I worked for over three years as a Petcare Specialist and Groomer, caring for pets, administering medications, and grooming canine clients. After college, I continued my journey in animal husbandry by volunteering with several dog rescues, the Marine Mammal Center, and the Santa Ana Zoo. Over the years, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—from rodents and reptiles to everything in between—gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of species and needs. While my life is a bit more structured these days as I run my own fully work-from-home business, animals remain a central part of my world. I’m an active member of the local dog community, belong to several dog social clubs, and help foster rescues whenever possible. I’ve also opened my home to many rescue animals of my own, including baby birds, opossums, and dogs with complex health conditions, and I’m well-versed in managing diverse medical and dietary needs.
