Hello, I currently work part-time so I have most mornings and evenings to feed, walk and play with your critters. I live in Portland so prefer things that are in the town or nearby. I am open to house sits and boarding animals within 45 minutes of Portland. I do have two cats so if I am boarding, they need to be OK with that.

Safety, trust & environment

If at your home… I will do your routine for the animals. If at my home…I currently live in a large house, I have a yard that is not fenced in that they can go out to the bathroom and on leash in, as well as the Back cove two blocks away and a safe residential neighborhood to walk in. I love taking dogs to dog parks and on adventures to walking trails and beaches. I have two cats that have been around other animals and after warming up seem to do well coexisting.

Pet care experience

For many years in San Francisco, I was a house and Pet Sitter. It started off with just doing it for friends and then word got around and I had a couple of regular gigs. I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have owned several different types since I was a child. I have a 13 year-old daughter who also loves animals and would love to accompany me at times if you are OK with that too.

Lynne is the best! I felt like she genuinely cared about my pets, and she was so thoughtful about sending photos and making sure she was clear on all my instructions (And I had a lot of instructions!). She really went above and beyond, cleaning more than I asked her to, and even extending her stay for a few days when we were held up on our trip. If you have a chance to have Lynne stay at your house and watch your pets - definitely say yes.

Lynne took care of my house and my animals several times. I had a very large German Shepherd, four cats, two of which were elderly and required special care, in two-story, Victorian home with classic cars that she needed to move while we were out of town. Lynne was very good with my dog, Henry, took him for his walks and even took him on some adventures. Everything looked great when we got back. I also hired her to walk my dog for a few months. I would definitely recommend her.

Lynne is a very caring, loving, nurturing, giving person. I have known her for decades and she is responsible, conscientious, creative and kind. She is a good problem solver and dedicated and committed to pets. I was with her when she adopted her soul cat Aliester and she gave that guy everything even though he was a handful. She's taken care of my babies and home beautifully. I highly highly recommend Lynne. Anyone who meets Lynne is a lucky one!
