About

I recenty retired after 12 years of being an emergency veterinary Technician. I have extensive training in health and the animals well being, as well as animal behavior, training and modification. We've been doing animal boarding in our house for the last two years for friends, family and neighbors. We only take in 2 dogs and 2 families of cats into our home at a time for boarding. We have two spare bedrooms, one for each family of cats to stay in. It has cat trees window perches and a couch and lots of toys for the cats comfort and entertainment in both rooms. Outside the windows we have bird and squirrel feeders. Cats are interacted with 3 times daily, boxes are scooped 2-3 times daily and they are fed according to your request (free feed or at a certain time(s)). When we have dogs stay with us they are free to be in the house with us as our own dogs. They have access to the entire house (unless owner states otherwise). Dogs are walked 1 mile (or 30 minutes daily) and are allowed out in the fenced yard as much as they would like. I am home all day. We have lots of dog toys and beds which are cleaned after each boarding dogs visit, and boarding dogs never interact with each other. Just with us. They are fed according to owners request. And meds can be given if need be. We are happy to send reports and/or updates and pictures as frequently as you request! We know leaving a furry family member behind is difficult, and we try to make it as easy on you as possible.

I get to stay home with dogs and cats all day! It really doesn't get much better than that! I enjoy getting to help people feel better and comfortable about leaving their dogs behind while they have to leave town. We always had a hard time finding someone we were comfortable with for our own dogs, so we try to make this as seem-less and easy for each owner we work with. Special requests more than welcome!

    I had Lindsey come to my house and help me with my dogs leash aggression. Lindsey was kind, and talked me through what she was doing and gave me a chance to do what she was doing with my dog, so she could help me and tweak what I was doing to help my dog better. It seems she’s been doing this a long time and my 100 pound German Shepherd didn’t scare her one bit. Highly recommend! ❤️

    Although the name says dogs, Lindsay seems to have extensive knowledge of just about all animals. She came to my house a few times in the week I was gone for business and checked up on my cat and salt water fish tanks. When I came home my cat was happy and my fish were in good shape. I only gave 4-stars because she does live in Michigan City IN, which is far for me (Lisle IL), but I wanted someone I can trust and after meeting Lindsay I knew I could trust her. I just wish she was closer.

    Lindsay was super nice, caring and respectful of my wishes for my dog. She sent regular updates and pictures upon request in a timely manner. I have a Yorkie and he came home well groomed and clean.

    Frequently asked questions

    They are welcome to stop by our home, or we can send pictures and/or a virtual walk through video of our home and property. We can e-mail or talk on the phone about expectations/needs of their pet, either for boarding or training or just walks/potty breaks. I am always available through my cell phone.

    I graduated college with a degree in Zoology, and animal Behavior. I also have a certification that took two years of school and 5+ years in the field, to be called a VTS(ECC). Which is a veterinary technician with a specialty in emergency and critical care. I also show and train my own dogs in many performance sports such as agility, Flyball, disc, dock diving, and obedience.

    I used to pet sit for my friends and neighbors growing up, and I realized I really enjoy being around animals, so I went to school for veterinary medicine and quickly realized I would much rather be a technician. It grew from there when I realized I also wanted to learn more about training and behavior. 

    Always make sure you and your pet are comfortable with the person you pick. If you or your pet aren't comfortable with a person, keep looking. There are a lot of great pet sitters out there and we love what we do!
