I am a pet-sitter, experienced with cats and dogs of all ages. I am happy to house-sit as needed, available most hours of the day otherwise.
My name is Lindsey and I offer cleaning and organizing services. I believe life is easier when things around you are organized. Your office, house, car or whatever it may be that helps you to be more successful. I love to help and see people get to that place. Cleaning is also a big part of that and I truly enjoy it as well. I can bring my own cleaning supplies and I am able to work weekends.
“Outstanding professionalism, and reliability.”
What's your experience with various pets and breeds? I've owned pets throughout my life, including large breed dogs and cats — I currently have a cat at home. I have hands-on experience with German Shepherds specifically, including transporting them to veterinary appointments and administering their medications afterward. This has given me confidence handling large, high-energy breeds as well as the day-to-day needs of cats. What skills do you offer (walking, feeding, playing, etc.)? I offer a full range of pet care services: walking, feeding, playtime/exercise, and overnight boarding. I'm also experienced with administering medications, which I did regularly for my family's German Shepherds, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with medical needs or on a medication schedule. Are you comfortable with large animals and/or animals that shed? Yes, very comfortable. I have direct experience with large breed dogs like German Shepherds, including handling, transport, and medical care, so size isn't a concern for me. Shedding is a non-issue as well.
I’m a high school senior with a strong sense of responsibility and a natural ability to care for others. I have experience looking after younger children, helping with homework, preparing meals, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I also worked as a sales associate at Frost Bake Shop, where I’ve developed strong customer service skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay organized in a fast-paced environment. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, and basic grooming. I’m patient, dependable, and organized, with a positive attitude and strong communication skills that help me build trust with both families and those I care for.
I am a board certified behavior analyst. I’ve worked with kids since 2019 ages 2-6, as well as teenagers. I’ve also worked in a daycare center as a teaching assistant as a work study job while in undergrad. I enjoy working with kids, teaching them new adaptive skills, making learning fun, and keeping them engaged in fun, educational activities. I’m super reliable and loyal. I can cook very well, I don’t mind cleaning if needed, and assisting with other household duties. I am CPR certified and have also have reliable transportation.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
Laura F., mom of two
