About: I have been an animal lover since I was a little girl. I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with feeding, walking, and playing with fur babies of all ages. I am currently in my clinical year of PA school. Unfortunately, I don’t have a set schedule as every few weeks my rotation changes and I get a new schedule. However, I am usually free on weekends and am willing to get up early or stay up late any day of the week to care for your pets. I have a large fenced in yard. I also have 1 dog at home who is very friendly as well as two cats who are shy and are usually hiding, but don’t mind other animals.

“I booked Lindsay back to back weeks for drop-in visits. Lindsay was so great with all 3 of our dogs. They were so happy to see her. She was on time, walked, fed and played with them and sent the best pictures. I highly recommend Lindsay and will be using her again.”

Typically while I am working we leave my home for a few hours per day, but reside there majority of the time. Nobody I work with has ever been violent or have any history of violence / anger and would absolutely love to join me dog walking/sitting!

My backyard is spacious and completely fenced in, all animals will be supervised at all times, especially when in the backyard because I do have a pool. All of my animals are very well trained and friendly towards others and will not be scared or aggressive towards other dogs and cats. Rooms separate from any animals are available for small animals such as fish, hamsters, bunnies and more, that will never come in contact with any of my cats so they are not stressed out!

About: I have been caring for a large variety of animals since I was 13, including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals. I have worked in various pet care positions including wildlife rehabilitation, animal educator, and pet care specialist. I have done volunteer work with local shelters and rehabilitation centers since I could work. I am known within my community as the "animal girl" and am frequently contacted for advice, care, and pet sitting. I am fairly new to this app, but am definitely not new to caring for any kind of animal big or small. I currently work at Stony Brook University mon-fri 9am-1pm. The rest of my days are usually open and able to be moved around to your schedule and needs! I currently do not offer services in my home as I have a dog who takes a while to warm up to strangers. Future opportunities may be available, but right now I am prioritizing her comfortability.

“On time and amazing with my high energy dogs”


About: As from a former animal foster family and being pet sitter since I was 14, I promise to adore and protect your furry family the same way I do my own 4 cats and 3 dogs. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. Whether it is going for a walk, or a daily drop-ins, I will give them all the attention they desire and match whatever energy they need. I think animals make our lives so much better, and it’s only right to give them the best love and care they deserve! I am a college student looking to take her academic breaks to make a bit of money for school and destress at the same time by being around some amazing fluffy friends. It’s honestly one of the best jobs because of who I get to work with! My variability does vary as a product of my schooling. I am a very regimented person. I like steps and structure, and follow the needs of the pets and desires of owners to the letter. I find it important not to change too much on your pets when you are away, so sticking to their system and what they know best will reduce their stress. It’s their home and their space, I’m just visiting.

I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pets, and I promise to treat them like my own.

Together, we create a fun and friendly environment for playdates and adventures. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and providing them with the love and care they deserve while you’re away! I’m off for the summer so really I am very flexible. Whether it’s just a walk or an overnight stay, I can make anything work for your fur baby!
