Today was one of my most favorite Koda walks! We wandered off into new territory and ran in the fields and admired the water. Koda sniffed everything in sight and was so well behaved. She is such a good girl!…

Lindsay Loves Pets?
Comprehensive Managed Care For Pets And Their Parents
Lindsay is a real person and she really loves pets. She always knows what they want and she would do anything for them. And since pets are so vulnerable without words, together with her husband Alex, she turned her hobby (obsession?) into their mission to make petcare easier. Whether it's cats, dogs, even chickens, parrots, rodents, fish, or reptiles 😲 their safety and happiness is all we care about. So, whether you need walks, visits, overnights, training, hosting, weddings, pet taxi, vet visits, licenses, and much more - we give you a one-stop shop for everyone you and your pet need. And we make sure everyone who touches your pet knows their habits and hang-ups, their itchies and ouchies, their hopes and history. We keep their vitals, habits, vaccines and licenses, 📸 and notes from every appointment. If it's pet-related we do it (or work with someone who does!). Because when we love a pet, there's nothing we won't do for them. 🥰
Pet Parents Love Lindsay
Lindsay and Alex are pros. Good communicators with people but even more so with dogs. Easily handled three dogs which included two high strung 80+ lb Ridgebacks. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I sincerely want to thank Lindsay Loves Pets for taking in our Puppers today! She and her husband Alex cared for Buster & Smokey as if they were their own! We met them for the first time yesterday for a short meet and greet and we were greeted with smiles and open arms! Alex and Lindsay were not just interested in what our dogs were like but, how we would like to see them cared for! I will say that our dogs loved them right off the bat! I have to say we did as well! We felt we could totally trust them with our fur babies! The next day we again, were greeted with smiles and open arms from Alex and Lindsay; as if we were family! We had a short chat and off we went sightseeing for the rest of the day and when we returned to pick them up our dogs were happy to see us but, also were content with having been with a new family for the day! Buster and Smokey were pampered one-on-one by Alex and Lindsay by getting walks in the fields, treats, lots of love and snuggles. No kennels here! We should have stayed and let the furry children explore Sturbridge! I would highly recommend Lindsey Loves Pets to pamper your pet! It’s not often you find a doggie daycare that cares for your pet like it’s their own! Thank you again! Tom & Michelle
Lindsay and Alex are great! They watch our cat who needs medication twice a day when we are away. They are responsible and care for our cat as much as we do! They make sure he is fed, gets his medicine and gets a lot of play time and love. I would highly recommend them for anyone in the area looking for a pet sitter!
Alex and Lindsay are fantastic.My four-legged friend is not the easiest. They have provided the highest level of professionalism, crystal clear communications, and knowledge. I am confident my dog is in expert hands and receives the quality attention he needs. I highly recommend them.
Lindsey is a lifesaver. She and Alex were able to take care of our ridiculous number of pets at the last minute and did a wonderful job; they took some of the cutest pictures of our pets that we have. Will definitely keep having them care for our herd. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Lindsay was WONDERFUL we were absolutely in a bind when we planning a day trip to Boston & didn’t want to leave our kitty without anyone for 12+ hours. Great prices, excellent communication & she’s so friendly!! Would highly recommend to anyone.
Alex and Lindsay took such great care of our precious pup !! They are awesome !!!!
We found Lindsay Loves Pets online after our regular boarder retired. We had met with several sitters and in home providers but none seemed right for our pack of three… until we met Lindsay and Alex. We have one boy that’s standoffish and slow to like new people, but by the end of the meet and greet he asked for pets and gave a little nuzzle.Since then (over a year ago now) we have used them numerous times for afternoon breaks when we’re visiting friends and family trips. They bring their A game every time! They send regular pup-dates so we can see what the pack is up to and spend lots of time playing with them and giving them love. Our pack loves “boarding at home” and I love knowing the dogs are well cared for! I also appreciate their flexibility and feel that they really love our dogs as their own!
Lindsay is amazing! She truly understands cat personalities and provides top-notch care for our fur babies. We came home to happy cats and a very clean home. She even took care of the bird feeders while we were away. Lindsay and Alex gave us peace of mind that our cats and home were well cared for in our absence. It’s the first time we were away that we didn’t stress about what was happening at home. Thank you so much!
Lindsay does a great job taking care of our fur babies when we’re not around. We can trust that she will keep our cats entertained well fed, and all of their associated areas tidy. Having Lindsay and Alex take care of our cats gives us peace of mind so we can enjoy ourselves when we are away.
We had no doubts whether to leave our crazy fun loving Zoey with these wonderful caregivers!! I know she had terrific week without us! Love the updates we got from them daily. Thanks so much! ❤️
Such a fun and loving home environment for my 8 mo old lab’s first time apart from us! We enjoyed our trip more knowing she was so happy and loved! She got so much exercise and play time I think she’s healthier after a week with them.🤣 Lindsay sent us daily pictures and fun stories of her new adventures. Loved the pictures of our pup snuggling on the couch watching tv with them each night. Lindsay and Alex also gave so much attention and love to our 15yo lab who has since passed. He needed a lot of extra care and it was a relief to have him safe and happy while staying with Lindsay and Alex. We can’t thank you enough!
Terrific pet sitters! Reliable, responsible and responsive. Lindsay loves pets and my cats love her.
Lindsay is fantastic!You can really tell how much she cares for your pets and keeping them safe !Would highly recommend her !
Lindsay has taken phenomenal care of Toby & Elvis! She pays a great amount of attention to their needs as well as ours. Our shy furbabies warmed up to her immediately and get excited when they see her. Highly recommend her services!
As an obsessive pet parent, it’s not easy for me to leave my kitties for vacation, but it’s much easier knowing they are in Lindsay’s hands! My cats tend to be stranger-adverse, but they are really comfortable with her. I love getting the texts and daily updates to know that all is well while we’re away. I definitely recommend Lindsay Loves Pets for anyone who les pets do best staying at home!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are. They truly love animals and it shows. Lindsay and her husband are very professional and responsive. I will definitely use them again.
Lindsay and Alex are great sitters. They love the dogs and spend time with them beyond the basics. And they clean up messes without a complaint. Photos and notes texted after every visit are precious.
We 💖 Lindsay and Alex! Thank you for taking such good care of Gracie while I’m gone.
Lindsay is a marvelous Cat Sitter!! She spends time each day when I am gone with my Cat! She feeds her and plays with her for a half hour! My cat loves her! Lindsay also brings in the mail and watered my plants!! I feel very comfortable leaving my cat and my house with her!! Thanks, Lindsay!!!!
Lyndsay Loves Pets has been an answer to our prayers. Our GSD suffered from severe anxiety when we would kennel her but with Lyndsay’s services we no longer have to use the kennel. Lyndsay and Alex were so kind and patient. They truly love their job. Our family can’t recommend them enough!
"Lindsay Loves Pets" is one of the most competent pet businesses I have encountered. I feel like they really care about my dog, and I can tell that they love what they do. They send me great photos of my dog after their visits, and this assures me that he is being taken care of in the best possible way!
Lindsay and Alex have exceeded every expectation I could have had for what feels like so much more than dog walking! They are so thoughtful and I love the detailed report on what my pups were up to each and everyday. Highly recommend!
Lindsay and Alex took care of our rambunctious 2 year old dog during the weekend of a family wedding. Our pup stayed with us at the Publick House in Sturbridge, but Alex took her for several outings (extended walk/hikes) while we were busy. Our dog was totally tired out after their time together. Lindsay and Alex sent wonderful photos of her having the time of her life. Their communication is excellent - clear, detailed, and consistent - and I felt totally comfortable that we were on the same page about our dog's needs and safety. They were also flexible with some last-minute changes that we requested, which really helped us out. couldn't recommend their services more highly!
Our cats loved Lindsay Loves Pets, and so did we!My mother and I took a weeklong vacation and needed folks to check in on our three cats.Our meet and greet was great and I felt fully confident having them in our home and spending time with our kitties.They let us know what they needed and made everything super easy!Every day we were sent a summary of the visit with photos. Two of our cats are much more outgoing and warmed up to them very quickly. They played, got brushed, and were clearly very well cared for! I was really impressed with how they cared for my cat Hutch. He's very shy so they only saw him a couple of times, but made sure to let us know that he was eating and using his litterbox. I really appreciate that they didn't crowd him and make him uncomfortable. He gets bad dandruff when he's stressed out and when I came back he was completely dandruff-free!We would definitely work with Lindsay Loves Pets again!
Feel very fortunate to have found Lindsay and Alex to help care for our dog Foz. Foz is actually my grandpup and his dad was getting married at the Public House. It was important to all of us, that not only was Foz well cared for during a very busy few days but he also be a part of my son and daughter in laws big day in some way. Lindsay and Alex made it happen. Our dog immediately took to both of them and they were super easy to work with. EXCELLENT communication too!My one regret is that we don’t live closer because we’d use them all the time! Highly recommend!!!
Such kind people. I would trust them with any pet. My two ratties were in very good hands. The updates and photos had me feeling good about going away. It can be hard to leave them behind but with Lindsay they are bound to enjoy their own little vacation.Thanks to them I was able to travel!
Lindsay did a great job taking care of our pup at our house while we were out of state for the better part of a week. She had great rapport with our dog and was super reliable and enthusiastic — a wonderful companion for our boy. Highly recommended!
We found Lindsay loves pet online and had a great experience with her. She accommodated us on short notice and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and Alex. They send updates with pics every day while we were away and we could tell our dog was very happy with them. I highly recommend Lindsay loves pets to anyone.
Used this service to watch our two rabbits for a week, while we were away and everything went very well! Lindsay is very friendly and will take care of your animals!
Lindsay and Alex have been incredible to our young husky. After each walk/hike, we get a comprehensive summary of what he was up to and pictures! A fantastic alternative of day care, our pup always comes home happy and tired, and we couldn’t be happier to have someone show our boy the love and attention he deserves !
In September of 2022, a friend reached out to Lindsey Loves Pets to ask for help on my behalf. I have a giant schnauzer (almost 3 years old) who requires consistent exercise, loves his people interactions, and does not go to daycare.Jameson is a great dog - and I was looking for people other than myself to play with him, other dogs, and practice good behavior and manners a couple of times a week.Alex and Lindsey have been a wonderful addition to Jameson’s life as well as mine. They are reliable, flexible, and he loves spending time with them. I know I I can trust the care of my happy boy to them in any situation, as they find ways to enrich his life, not just walk him. I highly recommend them if you are seeking any type of care for your pet.
I don’t know where to start, but let me say that Lindsay and Alex are truly the BEST in the business! Being new to the area, I waited too long to find someone to watch my German Shepherd over the holidays. Out of desperation and at the brink of cancelling our travel plans, a friend recommended Lindsay and Alex and I’m so grateful they did. After talking to countless boarding places across MA, L+A were the first people to empathize with my situation and understand the important of having someone watch and take care of my dog. They worked with us seamlessly, they were kind, helpful, pricing was great, and they truly were life savers. Alex drove over an hour to come stay at our house with Daisy, took extremely great care of her, communicated with us 24/7, and eased my anxiety about leaving her more than any other place has. Daisy is a rowdy, high energy, playful dog. Alex played with her endlessly and kept her busy and happy. She requires a lot of attention and love. They were absolutely incredible and I will happily recommend them to ANYONE. They have all kinds of services available and I will 100% be hiring them again for future needs. Thank you so much, Lindsay and Alex!!
I couldn’t be happier that we found Lindsay to take care of our best boy while we are away. We have a VERY anxious/at times reactive dog and Lindsay was not only up to the challenge, she lovingly accepted Otis and understood him almost instantly and they became best pals! We were already at ease knowing Lindsay was caring for our buddy but we also received daily updates with gorgeous photos that made us even more relaxed! If you’re reading this and contemplating booking her, DO NOT WAIT. It’s so important to have someone who genuinely loves and understands animals take care of your pets while you’re gone, and Lindsay went above and beyond that.
I am so lucky to have found Lindsay Loves Pets to care for my fur babies when I am away! Lindsay and Alex are the real deal. Their love and dedication to animals is apparent through the care and communication that they provide, along with incredibly beautiful photos. I came home to find a very happy kitty and everything in perfect order. Lindsay's daily "pupdates" we're not only delightful, but they gave me reassurance that my pet was being well cared for and loved in my absence. I wholeheartedly recommended Lindsay to anyone looking for awesome pet care!
Lindsay and Alex are just AMAZING! We were nervous to have our dogs at the house during our backyard wedding, and there were lots of logistics to work out with pictures, pick-ups/drop-offs, etc. and they made it so easy! They picked up our pups, brought them back over for pictures, loved on them, and brought them back at the end of the night. SO nice to not have to worry about anything & just enjoy the day because of Lindsay and Alex!
Lindsay has been walking our dogs for quite awhile now and is the absolute best! One of our dogs is very nervous and doesn't trust many people. Lindsay took her time and patience to win her over which was a huge feat. We greatly appreciate how flexible she is because my job is very unpredictable so she often comes over last minute in afternoons when I realize I won't make it home on time. She also helped us out with our chickens and house while we were away on vacation and it took so much stress off knowing everything was in good hands. She always goes above and beyond (and takes great photos while doing it) I would 100% reccomend her to anyone and everyone!
Found Lindsay Loves Pets on a Google search and couldn't be happier with the care our pup received. We were doing the tourist thing while our dog spent 1/2 the day on long walks, car rides and he went for his first swim. Felt comfortable with Lindsay and Alex immediately and do didn't our dog. Highly recommend... nothing but positive experiences to share... and we are picky... so that says a lot... thank you Lindsay and Alex for being flexible and booking us in last minute...
My cat can be a jerk when I'm not around for more than 24hrs. He gets very stressed & will sometimes act aggressive. Once he walks into (what i lovingly refer to as) Lindsay's Pet Palace - my cat completely forgets who I am. He loves it there so much I have to bring treats to make him follow me outside so I can bring him home! I now only have to ask my kitty if he wants to go visit his step-parents and he heads right for the door ready to go. Lindsay DOES Love Pets & my cat is proof.
Lindsay and her husband Alex took amazing care of our dog while we were away. Dakota was spoiled and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Updates were given throughout each day as well as cute pictures! We will definitely be using Lindsay Loves Pets again in the future. Highly recommend!
Lindsay is amazing with our dog, Daisy. She provides a safe & loving “home away from home” for our Cavapoo. She sends us pictures & updates while we’re gone and just really has a heart for our little furry family member. I highly recommend Lindsay!
Lindsay and Alex are absolutely wonderful! My dog is still a puppy and learning basic commands and training to walk properly on a leash, Lindsay Loves Pets helps me to reinforce my dog's training. Lindsay leaves me notes about how their day was during the walk and also how my pet’s training is progressing while working with my pet. Lindsay also sends me pictures during my pet’s walks!Lindsay Loves Pets provides the best service and I highly recommend anyone to try them out, you will not be disappointed!!!

Walkies in Sunshine!🐾
After our adventure yesterday, we decided to take it easy today and enjoy the sunshine closer to home. We played with sticks and wagged our tails at the neighbor doggies saying hello from their yards. She was full of hugs…

Charlie didn’t feel like going for a ride today so we went for a walk down the street instead. He loved the deep leaf piles and eagerly dug through them for fresh scents, then kicked them up with his feet…
