Premium Care for Your Companion

Pet care experience

As an owner of four dogs over the past 17 years, I know just how important it is to feel like the right person with the very best skill set is accessible to you when you need your beloved companion taken care of in your absence. Finding a pet sitter or dog walker you can wholeheartedly trust is an invaluable asset, relieving you of any concerns about whether or not your pet is receiving the most loving and attentive care possible. This basis of understanding creates the foundation of my work ethic as your pet care provider. I infuse compassion & kindness into every action involved in all services I provide. My professional experience as a former Canine Welfare / Neonatal Technician at Guide Dogs for the Blind has augmented & enhanced my care-taking abilities for a wide spectrum of canines in various life stages. In addition to offering general care, I specialize in looking after the needs of young or newly adopted puppies, dogs/pups with extensive medical needs, pregnant dams, and senior dogs of any breed. My time working with adult dogs and puppies involved in the service animal industry gives me knowledge of how to integrate proper enrichment, socialization & interactive playtime into the activities your dog or puppy will enjoy with me. All business conducted is fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC.

As an exceedingly amiable, highly inquisitive and deeply empathic human being, Lyndsie is the first person I would recommend to anyone who owns a dog, is in search of finding the perfect companion, or needs help taking care of their beloved furry friend. The first love-of-my-life in pet-form was unexpectedly gifted to my family and I directly through Lyndsie. Lyndsie had given us the benefit of the doubt in training the puppy through her own methodology beforehand, therefore preparing the dog to surpass the owner's expectation and respond with ease to various external stimuli and life changes to this very day. I have yet to meet anyone else as well-equipped to handle any challenge with an animal as Lyndsie: her genuine understanding of the unique behavior, desires, and intellect of a variety of animals is at once curious, provoking, and promising. Lyndsie not only holds a high standard for the well-being of pets and pet-lovers alike, the compassion she offers herself is clearly observed in the way she extends her knowledge, senses, and--simply put--talent, to the animals she nurtures; her careful attention, playful attitude and unprejudiced love to the friend before her is beyond comparison. If you are fortunate enough to receive Lyndsie's information, don't hesitate to contact her! Within the first few moments of meeting, your pet will have adjusted to being in Lyndsie's presence with such ease you might wonder if your pet will ever jump into your own arms again (of course, he/she will). Witness long-lasting gifts and experience a fresh perspective of your own pup by offering him or her the best care possible with Lyndsie D. Enjoy!

Lyndsie is extremely responsible, loving, experienced and more than qualified to be the best care-taker for anyone's pup. She was absolutely fantastic in taking care of my 3 year old dog Oreo. Oreo historically can be afraid of strangers and even requires medicine, but Lyndsie soon sent me pictures of them playing together and videos throughout his stay with her of the two happily cuddling and snoozing away. She was great in administering his medicine and ear drops, and when I picked him up he was the happiest I've seen him with a new person. I really appreciated her extensive background with Guide Dogs, in addition to years of experience training dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Will definitely continue to use Lyndsie for any and all of my dog needs, and highly recommend her to others! Thank you Lyndsie!

I had Lyndsie take care of my dog for a week. When I met her, her dogs were awesome and got along with my dog so well. I was absolutley positive they were gonna all have a great time. Then she sent pictures every day of all the dogs playing together and I knew my girl was happy. I will always use Lyndsie any time I go out of town.

Our family is beyond happy with the personalized, compassionate care Lyndsie gives to our two Labradors. Lyndsie has worked with Guide Dogs for the Blind so she brings a unique ability to care for our fur children. Lyndsie is quick to reply when we need her help and we love that she updates us with texts and pics throughout the day so we know our pups are happy. Both of our labs are always happy and relaxed when we return home which for us, is the best indicator that she's doing a great job keeping them busy, exercised and loved.

Information Lyndsie D. would like to know about your pet

If your pet tends to develop separation anxiety, what their typical energy level is like with you, any behavioral quirks (i.e. shyness/nervousness), and whether or not your pup is friendly with other dogs.

A typical day

As your pet's caretaker, my first priority is to ensure that your fur child (as I lovingly like to call them) is both comfortable and happy. For your pup, obtaining comfort and happiness could mean an experience doing any of the following: * Adventuring to nearby dog-friendly open space areas * Taking a stroll on beautiful and dog-friendly Dillon Beach * Trekking through dog-friendly hiking trails in Marin or Sonoma Counties * Playtime/socialization with other dogs (if desired) ...Or, simply lounging around, relaxing, having yummy meals, and receiving lots of belly rubs!
