about us
We have relocated!
We are now in Raleigh, North Carolina!
We are very excited to begin this new chapter and to meet all our new clients!
Hi, this is Lynn, of Lynn's Compassionate Pet Care. We have relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina. We are excited to offer the same loving care with our pet sitting and dog walking services for the North Raleigh area.
Going out of town (or even having to work long hours) when you love your pets can be very stressful; for us and for them. Letting them stay in their own home while you're away provides them the opportunity to stay where they are most safe and comfortable. Being able to stay on the same routine, with the same sights, sounds, and smells, while also eating the same food and getting the same exercise; all this reduces the stress of you being gone ten-fold. And no "travel stress" for your pet either!
In your absence, we will come to your home and take care of your babies, spending quality time with them and taking care of them exactly how you would. Feeding, giving fresh water, exercising, scooping litter boxes, playing, give medication, and provide lots of love and TLC. We provide up to 3 visits per day. You will also receive daily updates via text or email, and we love sending pictures!
All of these details will be discussed at your free in-home consultation. This will give you the confidence that even if you can't be there, your baby is in the loving and capable hands of a professional.
A little about me....
Opening my own Professional Pet Sitting business has been a long dream in the making. Caring for animals has always been my first and true calling. However, my dreams of becoming a Veterinarian were doused in college when I realized that I was a bit too tender-hearted to make a good one. So instead I obtained an engineering degree and for many years my love for animals had to take the form of volunteer work and becoming a pet-parent and foster parent to many. I've shared my life with many animals over the years including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and even sugar gliders.
I finally decided I did not belong behind a desk and decided to pursue my true calling. I began by spending several years working as a full-time Animal Caretaker for a large Veterinarian and Boarding Facility where we also provided doggie daycare. This incredibly rewarding experience taught me even more about the care of animals and animal behavior and finally brought me to where I knew I was ready to make a career out of caring for their needs.
Lynn's Compassionate Pet Care has been providing pet sitting and dog walking services for over 5 years in Madison, Alabama, and is now thrilled to provide the same loving care to the North Raleigh area!
Fully licensed, insured, and bonded.

Services
STANDARD pet sitting VISIT
During a standard visit, which is offered in 20-minute or 30-minute time frames, I will come to your home and provide:
Feeding and fresh water
Provide play and/or exercise time
Let dogs out for bathroom breaks
Cleaning litter boxes
Administering medication if needed
Providing lots of love and TLC
Bringing in mail or rotating lights as needed
dog Walk
Daily dog walking can provide a much needed outlet for all that energy so many of our pups have. A standard walk is 20-30 minutes and is only offered as a midday choice. A 45 minute walk is also available. These are one-on-one walks in your neighborhood.
MID-DAY Check-in
Do you just need someone to come check in on your pet while you're at work or can't make it home? I can do that too. This check in can be the same as a standard visit, or could be a mid-day walk, or a combination of both. Again, it is customized to your needs.
puppy visit
Getting a puppy is exciting, but it is also hard work! Consistency and keeping the same routine will greatly reduce the time needed for potty training. And regular enrichment activities and play will decrease destructive behavior and chewing. I have vast experience raising puppies and am here to help.
PET TAXI
Providing transport to and from vet or grooming appointments when you can't.
Overnight Boarding in my home
Overnight boarding in my home is offered with limited availablity.
house sitting
Maybe you're taking your pet with you but would still like someone to come over and check the mail, rotate lights, water the plants, take out the garbage, or change the birdfeeders? I offer this service as well.
PUPPY BOARDING / ONE-ON-ONE
Going out of town or working overtime is very hard to do when you have a new puppy. I provide one-on-one time in my home caring for your new family member. I will offer the consistency of training and love your puppy needs in early development and you can have peace of mind that even if you can't be there, they are in loving and capable hands.
DOG PARK OUTTING
Perhaps you'd just like your dog to get out a little more, do some doggie socializing and run off-leash for a bit. Trips to the dog park are a great way to do this. Outtings can be scheduled for a 45, 60, or 90-minute trip. These can be great for a once a week treat or worked into part of your dog's daily routine.
Overnight Pet Sitting in Your Home
Unfortunately this is not currently offered.

TESTIMONIALS
“Lynn had been supporting our family for over 5 years and has taken care of 3 of our 4 legged golden retriever children. Lynn checks in while at our house and provides tracking of their walks with pictures. Lynn has taken care of our dogs in the house, let out for potty breaks, taken on walks and pet taxi to and from boarding. Our dogs love Lynn and are sooo excited to see her when she comes! We thoroughly trust Lynn with a key to our home and with our animals. Lynn is amazing and we would highly recommend to anyone considering her services!!”

“10000% recommend Lynn! She has always been our #1 choice since we discovered her over 3 years ago! She is an amazing caregiver, and always goes above and beyond when taking care of your pets and home! Our two cats love Lynn, and we do, too! She stays in contact at all her visits and *notices* and asks questions if anything seems amiss with your pets while they are in her care. It's cliche, but she absolutely treats your pets as if they were her own. The peace of mind she offers her clients is invaluable. I would not hesitate to send anyone her way!”

“Lynn has been my beloved pet sitter for two years, but she is so much more than a pet sitter to me and my cherished Australian Cattle Dog, Arwen. She is a true friend and beautiful person in all ways. (Lynn came to comfort me the night I had to say goodbye to my best boy Merlin, my once-in-a-lifetime Australian Cattle Dog she also cared for until his death.) Lynn makes communication a priority, and her pictures and updates really ease my mind when I have to be away from my dear girl. Lynn helped raise and train Arwen as a puppy and continues to love her through daycare services and boarding on the rare occasions I can bring myself to be away from her. 😆 I can't imagine trusting my girl with anyone else.”
~ Rachel M. (verified google review)
“Lynn is very passionate about her calling in caring for animals of all kinds. She has been a trusted caregiver for my animals for many years. Dependable, reliable, and trustworthy. Even the grumpy cat who hates everyone came right to her! She keeps me updated with daily check-ins and photo/videos while I am away. Professional and with years of experience and training. I can't say enough good things!”
