Pet care experience
We are Lynn and Todd, ardent animal lovers! Lynn began caring for animals at a young age. She has loved and cared for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens, quail, guinea pigs, turtles, hamsters, fish and even hermit crabs! Lynn raised and showed rabbits for 4H as a youth. Later became a 4H Horse Club mom and helped our daughter show horses for about 10 years. As a family we raised quail, chuckars and laying hens. Todd grew up on a ranch with cattle, horses, dogs and cats. He later became an animal control officer for a few years of his law enforcement career. We have a special place in our hearts for rescued and senior animals. Every dog and cat we’ve owned has been rescued or adopted from a shelter or foster home. We have pet- and house-sat many times for friends and family, as well as for a couple of mini-farms that included horses, goats, llama, cows, ducks, alpacas, chickens and of course dogs and cats.
Reviews
Lynn went above and beyond looking after our two cats while we were away. We would definitely rebook and recommend Lynn to others!
Lynn took excellent care of my dog, Basil, for an overnight stay. She kept me informed and sent pictures and videos to me know Basil was having fun and doing well. Thank you so much, Lynn!
Took my dog Pico in for daycare on short notice and Pico had a great time!
Lynn was wonderful with our cat! She gave us a very detailed report and photos that were perfect to have while we were away. We found her to be a trustworthy and kind person that we were happy to have to take care of our little guy.

Home
Information Lynn S. would like to know about your pet
We like to know as much as possible to get to know your pet before sitting. How is your dog with other dogs/cats? How are they with male and female humans? Do they have any past trauma or fears to be aware of? Injuries/surgeries/weaknesses in bones or on medication? Do they suffer from separation anxiety? What's their favorite toy and game to play?
A typical day
Our house is in the Geneva neighborhood on a dead-end street that has access trails to Galbraith mountain. We hike these trails regularly, and would love to bring your dog along!! We also have a hardly-used county park within a five minute walk that is great for throwing balls or frisbees for dogs. We have an SUV we could load up and take dogs to any of the dog parks in the area as well.
