The best walk for your best friend.

Pet care experience

Thanks for checking out my profile! Worried about your fur babies safety and care when your not home? Don’t worry I've been around dogs since I was a kid. I grew up around chihuahuas, huskies, pomeranian mixes, shiba inus, Korean Jindo dogs, cats, fishes, and more. Spending time with all of these breeds I have ample experience bathing, walking, and feeding our pets. Fun fact about me: I also graduated from UCSD with a B.S. in human biology and a minor in environmental systems. Two years ago, I adopted an adolescent 3 year old cat from a local shelter and have been caring for him ever since. He is a rambunctious kitty and I have learned fun and creative ways to get him to exercise and stay fairly fit. Just 7 months ago, I adopted my first personal dog, Luna a 1.5 year old puppy from Korea. Under my guidance and training, I've learned that she is incredibly talented and picks up tricks and skills so quickly. For example, I trained her to jump on rocks, benches, etc... on command, she can differentiate the differences between sit-pretty and stand on her hind legs. Basic commands like sit, down, stay, paw, spin, come, etc... I take her on multiple hour long walks every day, and would love the opportunity to spend time and dedicated care with your fur babies as well!

Lynn was an excellent sitter for my cat Olive. She gave notes and photos of how she was doing and I could tell my shy cat responded to her very well. I will 100% work with Lynn again to take care of my sweet elderly cat. Thank you Lynn!

Lynn was very communicative and took very Good care of my shy cat. My cat Olive is very shy but Lynn was very sweet with her and made sure she felt comfortable. I really appreciate the care she took.

WHAT TO EXPECT: I will arrive 5-10 minutes early and get your dog ready for a walk. Your dog will get a FULL 30 minute (or 60 minute) walk. Then I'll drop your dog off at home, refill their water, and give any last minute pets for 5 minutes. Rover cards and pictures will be shared once the walk is complete :D During the walk with your dog, I will always: 1. Ensure provided equipment and leashes are safe and secure to use (as well as bring my own in case of emergencies) 2. Your dogs favorite treats are in my training pouch before the walk 3. Provide ample water to provide to your pet during/after their walk 4. Scan and be observant of my surroundings to ensure your dogs safety 5. Cross the street to avoid any on-leash greetings or off-leash dogs During the pet (30 minute) check-ins with your pet, I will always: 1. Spend 5 minutes carefully entering your home and kindly greeting your pet with their favorite treat 2. Take them on a 10 minute potty break outside if needed 3. Spend 10 minutes playing with them inside your home 4. Spend the last 5 minutes giving any last minute cuddles and love as I can More time will be spent loving your pet for a 60 minute check in!

Information Lynn V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance what your dogs personality is like (friendly, shy, anxious, hyper, non-dog friendly, non-people friendly, overall cuddle bug, etc…) This will let me know how to best keep your fur baby as safe as possible under my care! Nothing it’s more important than their safety and happiness!

A typical day

I love to actively engage with the dogs I care for by playing with their favorite toys like fetch, tug, and implementing mentally stimulating games like hide and seek, treats in a towel, and more. My favorite place to take my dog is the hiking mountain trails behind our house because they provide so much opportunity for her to sniff and run around on a long leash.
