Walking happy dogs AND cats!
Pet care experience
Enrichment is key! Physical exercise, mental stimulation, and affection combine for a great walk. 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 3 levels of training: Level 1: dog walking and pack hikes Level 2: blue dot and intake dog walking Level 3: play group handler Helpful to know: What are your pet's favorite rewards? (Examples: treats, petting, toy, etc...) What skills/tricks is your pet currently learning? --- Let's get started with a Meet & Greet! ---
Reviews
Lynn always does such a great job looking after our boys. We get plenty of updates and can rest easy knowing they are taken care of.
I cannot speak highly enough of Lynn. She did a fantastic job taking care of our puppy (and home) while we were away. I think he was better trained than when we left ! I will definitely use her again! Thank you!
Lynn did a fantastic job taking car of our cats. She made sure they were fed and Cleaned their litter everyday. We were kept up to date with plenty of pictures and videos of playtime. I would recommend hiring Lynn, and look Forward to working with her again
Lynn was very thorough and took great care of my cat, who is recovering from surgery. She went above and beyond giving her oral medications and injections. My cat was able to recover quickly under her care. I am very satisfied with Lynn and highly recommend her service.

Availability
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.
