Hello! My name is Lynn and I love animals of all kinds. When we go on vacation, I can't enjoy myself unless I am certain that my pets are being well cared for The idea of earning a little money while making someone else's vacation more enjoyable, simply by playing with and caring for their animals, sounds perfect to me! I'm in my 50's and am semi-retired. I can't imagine a life that doesn't include animals in our family. Over the years, we've had just about every kind of pet, one can imagine. Dogs (of course,) cats, goats, horses, ponies, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, birds (big and small,) and reptiles. We currently have 4 dogs, 5 goats, and 3 abandoned cats that I feed. I've been around animals my entire life and I have never been bitten or met an animal that I couldn't eventually, "win over." When I pet sit for someone, I like to find out as much as I can about the normal routine, for the pet. This way, I can try my best to follow the same schedule, and the consistency seems to make your pet's time without you less stressful. Whatever the pet is used to, is what I'd like to help provide. From young, energetic pups who enjoy going for walk or out to play, to older dogs that just want to feel safe and hang out at home with some extra attention, and everything in between! I currently have 2 older dogs and 2 rescue puppies, that are brother & sister. My older dogs, like to stay home and one of them, is a mini-dachshund and her favorite pace to be is on someone's lap, The puppies are always on the move, and love to run and play, and go for walks.
