Love At First Sit
Pet care experience
I started pet-sitting when looking for someone to care for my own baby. Tried all the usual boarding facilities- they seemed overcrowded and understaffed- so I looked for other people who felt the same and started a group of responsible pet-parents. We cared for each other's dogs; providing the same care we gave our own dogs. I provide individual and personalized care for every dog I watch and therefore only take one dog at a time. I live in an apartment building with a fully enclosed courtyard, so space to run or relax in the sun. I also foster dogs for Rescue Dogs Rocks and my l my foster just found his forever home, so I am open again to hosting your dog. Snuggling on the sofa or sleeping in my bed is not only allowed, but encouraged! Plus tons of kisses and hugs!!!
Reviews
I met Lynn at the Animal Medical Center when both our dogs were being treated for cancer. It was my first visit and I was a wreck; crying my eyes out in the waiting room when a woman approached me with a box of tissues and a cup of tea. She told me this was her 5th visit and explained how things worked, what I could expect and told me everything would be okay. She was more than kind and compassionate - that day she was a true angle. Sounds corny, I know. but it is true nevertheless. Our dogs were on different schedules so I didn't see her on my next visit, but when I arrived , the receptionist said she was there the day before and left a present - one for me and one for my dog. She also left her number and said to call if I needed anything. A few weeks passed and I had to go out of town for one night as my grandma fell ill and I was the only family on the East Coast. I called Lynn at the 11th hour. She watched my dog, gave him his medicine, sent me pictures and I not only felt completely confident that my dog was being well taken care of - he was being loved.
I have used Lynn twice to care for my senior pup, Wally. Lynn is warm and caring and I felt very comfortable from the moment we met. Lynn wanted to meet me and Wally before she confirmed the boarding to make sure it was a good fit , which I liked. More importantly, while I provided a list of Wally's likes/dislikes - she asked me a ton of questions concerning his care that I didn't even think of! I think she is awesome and would highly recommend her .
I had a great experience with Lynn and would highly recommend her. A last minute business trip came up and I was leaving the next evening. Lynn was so understanding, and asked me to come over to meet her in person. She took unbelievable notes - from Sam's favorite snacks, medical history, Vet's info, emergency numbers, etc. She sent me photos every day and texted me updates just to let me know Sam was okay. When my flight home was delayed, I called to say I would pick him up first thing in the morning as I know it was late. She was cheerful as could be and said she understood I wanted to see him right away and she would just stay up until I arrived. Sam was safe and happy, and so was his mommy!!

Information Lynn M. would like to know about your pet
I think it is important to know all I can. I would never hand over my baby to someone with just her food, bed and a toy, so I wouldn't expect you to either. I want you to feel secure knowing that your dog will be well cared for, safe and happy!
A typical day
I have a large totally enclosed courtyard - yes right here in the city - for safe off-leash play and lounging in the sun.
