While living in Fort Collins, Colorado I started doing home visits and dog walking for "All Pets" pet care service from 2000 to 2005, while also working as a resident counselor for "Foothills Gateway" working with persons with disabilities. I started getting asked to provide extended in home pet care while the owners were away on vacation. In 2005, I moved back to Englewood, Florida to be closer to my family and started getting more in home pet care jobs under the name
"Lindy's Pet Sitting And Home Services" while also working part time with Steve M., of "Mitchell's Pet Sitting And Home Watch" and "Critter Sitters". During that time I was also a volunteer dog walker for the Englewood Humane Society. My pet sitting jobs were mainly working with dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits, but on 2 occasions I got a job taking care of a couples 22 rats, 2 chinchillas, and 3 ferrets. I moved to Sarasota, Florida in 2007 where I also did some volunteer work for "The Cat Depot" cleaning and organizing cat cubicles, and cat socializing. Between 2007 and 2009, I competed some of my original songs under the stage name Lyndie D. to keep this name consistent with pet sitting, I've changed my nickname spelling from Lindy to Lyndie and named my current business "Lyndie's Pet Sitting And Home Services". In May 2012, I moved to Nashville, Tennessee to learn how to become a better song writer while still wanting to pursue my other passion, pet care. Currently I am volunteering as a dog walker and socializer for "Bonaparts Dog Rescue" founded by Emmy Lou H. and looking into doing more volunteer work for the Humane Society of Nashville.
