Introduction
Hi! I’m Lynette. I have been self-employed as a caregiver, housekeeper, and/or pet sitter for almost 20 years now. I think of my career as "do what I love and love what I do.” I have made so many great connections with seniors and their families as a caregiver/housekeeper, and let's not forget; we can't live without our favorite pets in the world. Taking good care of them now is my top priority. I can come to your home to pet sit. I’m not equipped to have a pet stay with me. (No fence). A while back now, I was trained by a collie's owner to nurse her dog who was fighting cancer. The owner needed to travel abroad for a bicycle tour planned long before her dog became ill. We were able to keep the collie with us until the owner returned home. To this day, she and I have remained friends. She came home a day early but just in time at my request knowing we were running out of time and she made it! I’m available immediately. I’m prepared to work wearing a mask, wash my hands often, and practice social distancing. I look forward to hearing from anyone in need of my services. Thank you.

Lynette has taken care of my dogs when needed since 2015. During the summers I'm gone for 2 weeks at a time as a wildfire dispatcher. Also takes care of my dogs when I go on vacation. She takes care of them on short notice when needed. I've had 2 to 3 dogs thru this time. Currently I have 2 dogs (50 - 75 lbs). If the dogs need medication or supplements, Lynette always ensures she has the directions and knows exactly what is needed to give these. She spoils my dogs with love and attention. She interacts with the dogs and makes sure they get exercise or walks them if that is required. She takes pictures with cute captions and sends them if you'd like, so you know your fur babies are fine, happy and doing well. She is prompt, understanding, good sense of humor and engaged. You would be very happy with her dog sitting if hired.

Lynette is a real gem! I highly recommend her for cleaning and she has been flexible and provided other home services (dog walking, help with unpacking, moving stuff around.)

I cannot say enough good things about Lynette. The first time I met her I was having trouble getting my male golden retriever out of the car and she got him out right away. She also bonded immediately with my female boxer who is normally very shy and doesn’t warm up to people quickly. Lynette does a great job of taking care of my fur babies when I have to be away and has also done some awesome cleaning for me Lynette is also a very genuine, sweet person who is easy to get along with.

Lynette is a very good worker. She has cleaned my house and also took care of my dog when I had cancer and needed some help. She cleans every thing, even windows. I have 3 bedroom home so she did the dusting, vacuuming and cleaned the 2 bathrooms. She also took care of my dog, letting her outside and walking her and generally took care of my dogs needs. She is very thorough and did anything I asked of her in regard to cleaning the house. Did my dishes too! Also went grocery shopping for me and some light cooking.
