Hello! My name is Lynn and I live with my special needs rescue dog and therapy bengal cat. I love all animals and live in a pet friendly leash wearing neighborhood with plenty of paths to walk, two fenced dog parks in the complex, and a dog washing station. My apartment is first floor 1 story, with foldable 3 foot high gates to prevent pet escape out the front or back door, and plenty of room to roam (2 gates available inside the apartment between rooms available as well). I have experience fostering dogs with various rescues, 2 years of training and owning a therapy service dog, and 15+ years of dog walking experience not including owning dogs for the last 10+ years. I have experience with non people friendly and non animal friendly animals as well as exotic animals like turtles, lizards/geckos, rabbits, small rodents (gerbils, hamsters, rats) and special needs animals (including transgender, diabetic, blind, deaf, and pets with dementia). I have a securely locking cat backpack and stroller if your small dog or cat would like to go for a safe stroll outside in addition to regular normal leash walks! I always have plenty of toys, treats, and affection so if you are in need of a trusted sitter, boarding or a drop in/walk please contact me! I am a very active person and your furry friend would get tons of attention and exercise plus as many text updates, pictures, video chats, or videos sent to you as you would like while under my care. (Not accepting dogs that have a history serious bites and if they are over 40 lbs for boarding or daycare in my home as my dog will not like them. Meet and greets available prior to in your home or a trial by dropping your animal off for an hour or so no charge at my home. Dogs must be fully potty trained/house broken-no pee pads. Must not excessively bark. If there is street or garage parking that requires payment for parking I kindly ask you reimburse me for those expenses or provide me with visitor pass or QR code for entry. Homes more than 15 minutes away will be charged $5 extra due to inflation/gas prices. I work full time but come home everyday at lunch and have weekends off so I am readily available and flexible if given plenty of notice We do lots of walks and exercise and trips to the dog park! I cater to whatever you need and always take a ton of pictures. Any dishonesty about or not disclosing important information your pet or your pets behaviors such as them not being potty trained or acting aggressive towards my animals or excessive barking while I am not home (cameras present in all rooms) that may cause damage to my home, pose a safety threat, or noise complaint may result in transfer of care to another sitter.
