“Lindsay and her family were amazing with our dog Sophia. Sophia has never spent a lot of time around children, but Lindsay let us do a test “meet and greet” a couple weeks before her stay to make sure Sophia was comfortable. We got lots of photos during her stay and she always looked happy and cared for! Lindsay’s children are respectful of new dogs and love to spend time with them. We will absolutely have Lindsay watch Sophia again!”
“Christopher took great care of Rosie despite her being anti-social with the other dogs. He gave her personal attention and after a few days I think she was doing better. Christopher provided photos and updates, which were appreciated. I would recommend him and will use him again if I'm ever in town again.”
“Best sitter I could have asked for. Alyssa was able and willing to help with all things puppy related. Appa loved being around her and her family. She sent photos and was able to update us on how Appa was doing while we were on our trip. My husband and I felt very comfortable leaving Appa in her care and will definitely look forward to Appa's next visit with her.”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and breeds, I bring a lifetime of dedication, reliability, and deep animal understanding to every visit. What sets me apart is not just my longevity in the field, but the personalized attention and calm, confident care I provide. From energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, medication, and gentle handling—I’ve done it all. I specialize in reading animal behavior, easing anxiety in shy or rescue pets, and creating a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s routine, health, and happiness are always my top priority. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, special needs care, or just keeping your pets company, you can count on me to treat them like family—because to me, they are. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around feeding times, medication needs, play sessions, and quiet companionship, ensuring each pet receives the attention and consistency they thrive on. Whether it’s early morning visits, midday check-ins, or evening routines, I prioritize each pet’s comfort and well-being as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s woven into my lifestyle, bringing joy, purpose, and a calming rhythm to each day. I have a large fenced in backyard that has ample room to run and play. I also have a Great Dane who loves all animals. In my clients’ homes, I provide personalized, stress-free care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle sessions—ensuring they feel secure and cared for in your absence. I keep things tidy, stick to household rules, and maintain open communication with daily updates and photos. My goal is to create a calm, consistent presence that pets trust and look forward to, so you can travel or work worry-free knowing they’re in capable, loving hands.
