Loving care one family at a time
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Lynn & I look forward to welcoming your pet to my home. Until I lost my beloved dog to cancer, I had been a dog owner for many years and am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I only watch one dog at a time, two if with the same family so your dog will have plenty of individualized attention. I live in a townhouse close to a lake and wetlands, so there are lots of good places to sniff and wildlife to watch on our walks. I also live very close to Argonne & Waterfall Glen so if your dog enjoys nice long walks, we can make sure we visit during their stay. I do not have a back yard, so your dog will have lots of exercise with at least three walks a day with lots of animal friends and people to meet! When I'm not home, your dog will be restricted to the downstairs level of the house, but will be welcome to roam when someone is home. In the evenings they can sleep wherever they feel comfortable. I will send texts or e-mail updates so you know your pet is doing well in your absence, and can enjoy your time away. Your dog will receive lots of loving care in my home with plenty of toys and treats (if allowed) and a dog friendly neighborhood to explore. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs in my life since I was young when my sister and I found a stray dog who eventually became a part of our family. Over the years there have been mixed breeds and more recently pure bred dogs in my life, each with their own unique personality and all have been equally loved. About my yard I do not have a backyard, but do have a fenced in deck off my dining area and kitchen, so your dog can sit outside and enjoy the weather when we are not walking. My dog always loved to sit out there and sniff the air and watch the birds & animals. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administering medication orally, but do not have experience at this time with giving shots.
Reviews
Wonderful experience having Lynn care for our Yorkie! Daily updates & photos are definitely appreciated. Thank you Lynn, our girl is so happy!
As always, Lynn was super caring, responsive and we felt super at ease leaving our buy with her! Can’t thank her enough!
Lynn was so great with our two dogs! She watched them while we were on vacation for over a week. They came back happy and healthy! It was so nice to be on vacation and not have to worry about the well being of our fur babies. Lynn was the best!
Lynn was awesome as always! She’s super caring with our dog and it’s obvious she enjoys spending time with him! We feel so reassured whenever we leave him with her!

Information Lynn G. would like to know about your pet
All dogs I care for MUST be house trained. It's important for me to know your dogs temperament, likes and dislikes prior to sitting. Is your dog up to date on required shots? Any allergies or medical conditions? Is your dog socialized? We may meet several dogs on our walks so I can make accommodations if needed. I do not take puppies under 1 year.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks My neighborhood is quiet and has lots of mature trees, with a lake and wetlands in my backyard. There's plenty of wildlife to see and new dogs & people to meet. We can walk for 30 minutes without going on busy streets and enjoy nature. There are many places to walk close to my house without having to drive. Waterfall Glen is a very close car drive away with plenty of trails for walking, along with two dog parks and Katherine Legge Memorial Park a little further away. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he or she is comfortable either in my room or downstairs. Time I'll spend with your dog I will be with your dog early am and mid to late afternoon through the evening, all weekends and holidays. During the summer months my family will be eager to assist so your dog will have someone around at all times. I limit my care to one dog at a time, two dogs with the same family to provide the best care and attention.
