Traveling Petsitter
Pet care experience
Hi there! I've been working with pets for many years now. Besides having taken care of my own pets, I have also volunteered with NGOs that work with animals. Over the past few years I have been traveling more and do this by petsitting for families of humans and pets in different locations. I am happy to travel to different locations and to explore new places, especially when there's a furball (or two or three) to join me there! For this reason, I do prefer longer stay-in sits. This helps me get to know the area and, more importantly, build a relationship with your pet(s). However, I'm also happy to meet new friends for shorter adventures closer to home. I have experience in basic obedience training for puppies and have also worked as a puppy-raiser for the Guide Dog Association - the last of which is nothing less than a 24-hour-a-day job and so worth it. I'm a non-smoker and am vaccinated. I also enjoy living in a clean environment and will clean up after myself. I work fully remotely and I usually spend most of my time at home. As long as there's a solid internet connection, I'll be there to cuddle, love and exercise your furry loved one(s) until kingdom come. I prefer house sits, as a pet is generally more comfortable and relaxed in their own home. I like to maintain a decent schedule with pets, which also helps to put them at ease and helps them to know what to expect. I usually ask pet owners to guide me on how best they would like their pet(s) to be taken care of. This can include a specific routine or training, meal preparation, exercise and playtime. Each pet is different, both physically and emotionally, and I'd like to offer pets a safe and caring environment which caters to their needs. If you'd like more information, please get in touch.
Reviews
Lynne and I have been friends for over ten years. She is a warm, kind-hearted woman who laughs often, and people as well as animals love being in her presence. Her own pets were always in perfect condition, well cared for and much loved. I know her as someone who prefers open and honest communication, who is trustworthy and who stays calm under pressure. I would trust Lynne 100% with my pets - and my children - any day.
I have known Lynne for a number of years and for as long as we have been acquainted she has had pets and looked after pets. Lynne has a kind and gentle demeanor and is passionate about animals. I would highly recommend Lynne for any of your pet-sitting needs. Your animals will thank you!
I've known Lynne for many years. She's kind, caring, responsible and very trustworthy. I would feel very comfortable leaving my pets in her very capable hands, knowing they would not only be well taken care of but would be showered with love and kindness. Lynne has a very bubbly, warm, caring personality and I have no doubt that any pets she takes care of will feel this warm energy and will benefit immensely. I highly recommend Lynne for any petsitting/caregiving.

A typical day: With dogs I enjoy having regular breaks during the day. That can be to take them for a walk or to play with them in the yard or garden. With cats, it depends on the cat!
