About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, but within the recent years have been helping friends and family with caring for their pets when they’re away doing drop ins or boarding them. I have a 1 year old beagle and a 6 year old cat who are use to seeing me bring dogs in and out. I’m very patient with all pets as i’ve cared for tiny to big dogs of all ages, and energy levels :). I work full time working in office Mon-Wed, but am remote Thursdays and Fridays. I’m willing to work out a schedule with as much flexibility as I can for you. I live with my boyfriend as well who works full time, but helps with potty breaks too. My 1 year old beagle is very energetic, friendly, and playful and a 6 year old siamese who likes dogs. I have a large fenced backyard with EVERY possible exit area sealed. My dog would love to escape to follow a scent if she could so I make sure there is no escape plan even though I make sure to watch them when they are outside. I also have a puppy camera that I leave on in my living room to check on when i’m not home. Whether your pet steps into my home, or i step into yours i’m willing to accommodate to your pets needs.
“Lynn was wonderful with our dog Millie. It was July 4th weekend and Millie was scared of the fireworks and Lynn took extra good care of her. This was our first time leaving our dog with a pet sitter and we were nervous, but couldn’t have left her in better hands. Highly recommend!”
“Look no further if you are looking for a true animal lover who will treat your fur baby as her own. I searched high and low to find Lori and her wonderful husband, Victor - and it was worth it! Lori sent pictures every day and I could see by my little baby Sadie's face that she was spoiled with love and attention. I would work my vacations around their schedule if possible bc they were that wonderful! We highly recommend!”
