Dogs are my best friends!

Pet care experience

I am a very attentive dog mom. I enjoy getting the dogs outside for walks weather permitting. I have taken care of my friends' pets over the last few years. I am reliable and responsible for dogs in my home. I will keep your dog's routine the same as your routine in your home. I will never leave your dog alone. They are with me at all times. I want them to feel safe, secure and loved. I keep clients updated periodically with photos and texts. My spouse is very supportive and loving of my client's pets as well. My backyard is checked daily for poo that needs to be picked up and disposed of. If a dog is cold or too warm I will do whatever it takes for them to feel relaxed and comfortable.

We've had some good experiences with Lynn and unfortunately some not so good. Lynn is a very sweet, kind, and caring person, but there have been some issues. She has a nice fenced in back yard, however while away we got word that our dog had somehow jumped over the fence which seemed impossible to us and was very worrisome. Only after the second time, on a separate stay he again jumped the fence and got out into the neighborhood, we were told a portion of the fence is lower than the rest. Another time she misplaced our dog's medication, so we had to order a new prescription (she did end up finding it later). Sometimes there have been more dogs staying there than we were initially told about. And on the final visit, while we were out of the country, apparently her husband wasn't getting along with one of our dogs, so she reached out to our emergency contact and said they had to come pick up our dogs and take them, mid visit. Thankfully we had this option, though a great inconvenience for all. Again, Lynn is very sweet and generally great with dogs, however you may want to address these issues.

Unfortunately, this was not a good fit as Gunner did not get along well with her husband and additional boarded dogs we were not told about. Communication throughout made our vacation stressful. Gunner came back with a raspy voice, which was sad, but he bounced back after a week. We appreciated her quick communication to respond.

Lynn is a warm, kind person with a ranch home that is extremely dog friendly. She invited me into her home immediately. Introduced me to her husband. My little dog Demonstrated he was very comfortable in that situation. He independently explored the hallway and she was fine with that too. I liked her so much I used her services the following day on short notice during a family medical situation. And I plan in the future if I need an overnight to travel or a week or less I will check her first always. I told her I was going to put her in my will in case something happens to me so that My little Pooch would go to her because he was so happy with her Bella and her it was a blessing to me!!

It’s all about the dogs! This is what I’m getting paid to do. It really doesn’t feel like a job because I so love dogs and this is my passion. I am very fortunate to do this with the right set up like the fenced backyard and a place to explore with a park right on the other side of the gate. They can see all the owners and their dogs as they walk by! I have a locked back gate and a doggy door. Lots of times the dogs prefer I play the role of “doorman” and let them in and out the French doors all day long. 😂

Information Lynn A. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to do a meet and greet with a potential dog to make sure the dog is compatible with my two chihuahuas and how they respond to me as a caregiver.

If I am going to take a dog for a walk I have a handful of routes I can go. I will only walk in neighborhoods that I know are safe.

Doggy care is my first priority. It’s all about the dogs and whatever the needs are. Usually first thing in the morning I let them outside to potty. Next is breakfast. After that, as the day unfolds I just play it by ear. If the weather is decent I love to get them out for a walk!
