Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover, dog friend here!!
I've had my own dogs (2 in the past). I have watched a chihuahua at 7 lbs, and a Labrador with walking issues at 86 lbs and have done okay. Both had some issues, and both were great. We managed and everyone was happy. I've dealt with food issues. I treat them like my kids. Watching tv or having dinner we can do together. Play time and some attention is split with nap time/ or a rest. My last dog was a senior and i cared for her like the queen she was... I have dog beds, and plenty of blankets. I live right near Riverside park so that is a highlight. Love this park and easy to get to if you want your dog walked there.

Ratings and reviews
Lynn did a great job with Sam! She took him on plenty of walks and gave him lots of cuddles. Sometimes when we come home from a trip Sammy is anxious and clingy, but when we got back after Lynn watched him he was relaxed. It was clear they had a great time together. I definitely recommend her as a dog walker/sitter!
Any pet would be incredibly lucky to have Lynn as its caretaker. For over 30 years, my sister Lynn has adopted and cared for dogs, giving each one a life filled with love and security. She is both responsible and deeply caring - qualities that shine through in the way she treats every animal as if it were her own. Lynn has also generously watched over the pets of friends and family, always offering the same level of attention and compassion. A perfect day for her is one spent at the dog park, surrounded by four-legged friends and wagging tails. Her dedication to animals is truly inspiring.
For the past 10 years Lynn has cared for my dogs when I’ve had to go back to Australia. The first one a 50 lb mutt, and my current dog, a 6lb Chihuahua. She has been absolutely wonderful with both pups. Sent me daily updates and pics, let me know if there is any change in poop or eating. As Lynn had her own sweet pup for 16 years that she called her "soul doggie" (who very sadly passed away last fall ) I 100 percent trust she knows how to take fast action should there be an emergency situation. The love and care she has given my dogs has been stellar , and made my time away completely stress free…and most importantly, both dogs have loved their time with Lynn.
I've known Lynn for over 10 years. She is a responsible, caring person who has had a great deal of experience taking care of dogs. Lynn is wonderful with dogs of all ages but she has just the right touch -- patient and thoughtful -- with "senior" dogs. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Lynn.
Lynn is a kind, caring and reliable animal lover. Lynn took care of my older pup for 2 weeks while I went away for work. My pup has mobility challenges and needs quite a lot of assistance and I found Lynn to be patient and loving which left me with the confidence I could leave my dog in really good hands while I was away. Lynn loves animals and I would highly recommend her for your pets.

Schedule
Well I freelance, so i work at home a lot. Right now that is what i've been doing. Plus i like stopping and getting a walk or stretch in. So the walks are welcomed. I was able to watch a chihuahua this spring while the owner went back to Australia, and we figured out a routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can crate if you want. Or come to your place if that is what you want. But i have a decent size NY apt so its not an issue. Have a few dog beds, plenty of blankets, hardwood floors, A/C for summers and a couch for the dogs...!! Plenty of space. I treat them like my friend or child.
A typical day
