About
Hello there! My name is Lynette, and I've been a self-employed caregiver, housekeeper, and pet sitter for almost two decades now. My work revolves around the philosophy of doing what I love and loving what I do, which has allowed me to form meaningful connections with many seniors and their families.

As a caregiver and housekeeper, I've developed a great appreciation for the importance of pets in our lives. They're our constant companions and require good care, which is why I prioritize their wellbeing above all else.

While I'm not equipped for pets to stay with me due to a lack of fencing in my home, I'm happy to come to your residence and take care of your furry friends. A while back, I received training from a collie owner on how to care for her dog who had cancer. The owner had to go overseas for a bicycling trip she planned before the dog's illness. We took care of the collie until she came back, and that experience led to our ongoing friendship. She even returned a day early just in time at my request, which I'm incredibly grateful for.

I'm available right away and eager to work while wearing a mask, frequently washing my hands, and maintaining social distancing measures. Please feel free to reach out to me for any of your caregiving or pet sitting needs!

Thank you for your time.

There are not enough positive words to describe Lynette. Upon our initial meeting, she effortlessly removed my male golden retriever from the car, a task that had previously stumped me. Even my timid female boxer warmed up to Lynette quickly, an unprecedented feat. When I must be absent, Lynette cares for my beloved pets with exceptional skill and has even provided superb cleaning services. Her naturally kind and affable demeanor make her an absolute joy to be around.

Lynette is an exceptional worker who not only cleaned my three-bedroom house with utmost thoroughness, but also tended to my dog's needs during a difficult time when I was dealing with cancer. She went above and beyond in ensuring that everything was spotless, even the windows. Additionally, she took care of my dog by walking her and letting her out, which was immensely helpful. Lynette consistently delivered on any cleaning requests I had and even took care of my dishes, went grocery shopping, and cooked light meals for me. Overall, her dedication and attention to detail were truly impressive.

Since 2015, Lynette has been taking care of my dogs when I am away for two-week periods during the summer as a wildfire dispatcher, as well as when I go on vacation. She is also available on short notice when required. Over the years, Lynette has cared for two to three dogs, including my current two dogs weighing between 50 to 75 lbs. If medication or supplements are necessary, she takes the time to understand the directions and ensures that the dogs receive the proper treatment. Lynette shows my dogs love and attention, giving them the exercise they need and even sending me cute pictures with entertaining captions to keep me informed of their well-being. She is punctual, compassionate, has a great attitude and is very engaged, making her an excellent choice for any dog-sitting needs.

Lynette is an absolute treasure! I strongly suggest her for cleaning services, and she has also demonstrated her adaptability by offering extra home-related services such as dog walking, help with unpacking, and furniture rearrangement.
