Highlights
Pet care experience
Specializes in anxiety & reactivity
Hi! I’m Lyndsey, and I’d love to care for your pup like one of my own 🐾 I grew up with Labs and Retrievers and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities-from teacup Shorkies to pit bulls. Since moving to the Island in 2018, l've regularly dog-sat for friends, family, and now Rover clients. I’m especially comfortable working with pups who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive and need a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe and understood. Additionally, I’m happy to follow any training methods your dog is learning to make sure our walks and visits stay consistent with their progress. - More about me - I work part time as an event paramedic, which means responsibility, safety, and attention to detail are second nature to me. You can trust that your pet (and your home) will be cared for with the same level of respect and attentiveness. - My Home - Nestled near Goldstream Park, Langford Lake, and Mount Wells, our walks turn every outing into an adventure. I live in a one bedroom suite with a shared fenced yard and can host 1 small/medium dog at a time so they receive lots of individual attention. I also let pets choose their cozy spots, bed included! - Your on call dog mom - I always aim to keep pets routines as consistent as possible and will happily tailor care to your instructions. I'd love to chat, answer any FURther questions, and make sure we're a great fit. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog(s) the love and care they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Really appreciate you for doing this and Scruffy also looks forward to going as well
Lyndsey cared for my 10 year old Shnauzer while I was away. My dog is diabetic and had a health issue first day. Lyndsey gave insulin with confidence and also handled the health issue professionally and with grace. Lyndsey also loved my dog while I was away which gave me confidence to enjoy my holiday they even celebrated a birthday together. I highly recommend Lyndsey with any of your dogs needs walking and sitting ETC . IMPRESSIVE
She is amazing with Scruffy and he loves the walks she takes him on.
We had a great experience and would highly recommend Lyndsey! Communication was excellent, we received regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup and would definitely book again. Thank you for taking such great care of our dog!
Lyndsey was so amazing! Followed all of our requests perfectly, and took great care of our puppy!
You will not find a better person than Lyndsey to take great care of your pet. Lyndsey recently watched our labrador Leila for the weekend and had a ball going for swims and long walks. So much so that when we arrived home and Lyndsey was leaving we had to coax her back in the house from trying to leave on another adventure with her. I highly recommend Lyndsey for walks and pet sitting.

Meet & greets are a great way to start, and I’m happy to book walks, playdates, or short visits beforehand to help every dog feel comfortable, confident, and well cared for.

- Does your dog experience anxiety, reactivity, or need a little extra patience? I have experience working with sensitive pups and would love to know what helps them feel most comfortable. How is your dog’s health? (special care / precautions) What kind of training have they received? (Potty/leash/recall/sit&stay/food boundaries) Note: Some dogs who need constant supervision or specialized care may require a slightly higher rate depending on their needs.
