I will treat your dog like family!

Pet care experience

I have been a high school teacher for 24 years. I dog-sit for my friends and sister all the time, and even for my friend's cat sometimes too! I also used to dog-sit for my parents' dog for 2-3 months while they were away over the winters, but unfortunately Mollie passed away a few years ago. She was 17 and we spoiled her! I grew up with dogs (poodles) and I love animals so I thought this would be a fun way to earn extra money! I really enjoy dog sitting, and have been doing this for about 7 years now and I look forward to meeting your doggie!

Dexter always loves his stays with Lynette, and we can rest easy knowing he's getting great care. A+++

Lynnette took such great care of our dog! She was professional, reliable and communicated well with us. Our dog came home happy and calm. We definitely plan to book her again.

Lynnette was wonderful! It was such a relief to know she has had experience with reactive dogs. My dog seemed very happy and comfortable during his stay with her :)

Information Lynnette R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any medications or special needs for the dog beforehand! Also their typical schedule because I like to stick to the dog’s typical schedule so they feel comfortable in my home!

A typical day

There are a lot of sidewalks and some trails near my house that I can walk your dog! I enjoy going for long walks, and having a 4-legged friend to do it with is motivational! Lol!
