Highlights
Pet care experience
Walking happy dogs AND cats!
Enrichment is key! Physical exercise, mental stimulation, and affection combine for a great visit. Your beloved pet is precious and one of a kind, so I give individualized care. Central to my training philosophy is positive reinforcement. I'm happy to support the behaviors and tricks you're building together, and perhaps teach them some new ones! Experience (and training source) • Dog/puppy training and walking starting in 2014 (Humane Society of Huron Valley) • Cat/kitten training starting in 2013 (Humane Society of Huron Valley) • Caretaking and training for dogs/puppies starting in 1999 (family) For those who are familiar with HSHV's dog walking training, I advanced through 5 levels of training: Level 1: dog walking Level 2: pack hikes Level 3: “blue dot” (special needs) Level 4: intake & non-tested dogs Level 5: play group handler I also am Fear-Free Certified. As such, I use only flat collars or martingale collars (not buzz, beep, spray, prong, nor choke). ——— Helpful to know ——— What are your pet's favorite rewards?

Ratings and reviews
Lynn is very communicative and took excellent care of my dog
Adam is always well cared for by Lynn. She notifies me of she notices something is wrong with him. I trust her completely! Thank you for being one of Adam's best friends 🧡
Lynn removed all the stress of traveling out of town by taking such excellent care of our dog and even handled giving him a new medication - we were able to fully enjoy being away knowing our dog was beyond well cared for by Lynn!
I highly recommend Lynn! She was fantastic with our senior pug - so great with communication while we were away. I was very nervous leaving my guy - as it is so rare that we trust him to someone else. But I will have no reservations at all next time with Lynn. She is the best - great attention to detail on meds as well as doggie comforts.
Lynn is absolutely incredible! She recently spent 2 weeks pet sitting for our new dog. It was our first time using Rover and I was fairly anxious about leaving our fur baby. Lynn made the experience seamless and calmed all of my nerves prior to the stay. She went above and beyond with communication while we were away and I was always able to reach her, if needed. She cared for our dog as if he were her own and showered him with love and snuggles. Lynn also taught our dog many new cues and games and practiced his current training with him. She handled an unexpected emergency and always kept us informed. Lynn also took lovely care of our house and prepped all of our dog's favorite treats for a smooth transition when we arrived home. I am so grateful to Lynn and couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Lynn is very communicative and calm which is great for setting humans and dogs at ease.

Schedule
I'm happy to walk all seasons -- even most holidays! Rain, snow, and shine are all good. I grew up in Michigan with a healthy dose of year-round outdoor activities, so I'm very comfortable in all temperatures.
