Lynne's gift isn't specific to one species. It's a way of being — a stillness, a presence, an openness that animals of every kind seem to recognize. Cats are her first love and deepest expertise. But Lynne's gift doesn't stop there. If you have a unique animal you love and need someone you can trust — she's open to the conversation.

People often call Lynne "The Cat Whisperer" — and yes, cats are her first love, her deepest expertise, the animals she has devoted most of her professional life to understanding. But the truth is bigger than that.
"Every animal communicates. Every animal has a personality, a history, a way of being in the world. My job is to slow down enough to hear it."
Over twenty years in veterinary medicine, Lynne has worked with animals of every kind. She has learned that the same qualities that make her exceptional with cats — patience, presence, the willingness to let the animal set the pace — work just as beautifully with a nervous rescue dog, a territorial parrot, a shy tortoise, or a gerbil who has never been handled gently.
The species changes. The approach doesn't. She meets every animal exactly where they are.
Lynne's Full StoryCats and dogs are her specialty. For other animals she loves — and unique situations she's open to — here's who she's cared for.
Her first love and deepest expertise. Twenty years of veterinary experience, a lifetime of connection. Anxious cats, senior cats, multi-cat households, cats who hide from everyone — Lynne is who they come out for.
"Cats are my heart. Every single one."
Gentle, attentive walks and in-home visits tailored to each dog's energy and pace. No rushing, no phone-distracted walking. Just Lynne, your dog, and a genuinely enjoyable outing.
"Every dog has a pace. I find it and match it."
Parrots, cockatiels, canaries, finches. Birds are intelligent, sensitive, and deeply attuned to the energy of the people around them. Lynne's calm presence is exactly what they need when their person is away.
"Birds know immediately. They either trust you or they don't."
Feeding, habitat maintenance, temperature monitoring, UV light schedules. Reptiles have specific needs that most sitters don't understand. Lynne does — and she genuinely enjoys their quiet, ancient company.
"There's something profound about a creature that's been on this earth longer than we have."
Bearded dragons, geckos, iguanas, chameleons. Proper lighting, heating, humidity, feeding schedules — Lynne understands the specific requirements of reptile care and approaches each one with respect for their nature.
"Reptiles aren't cold. They're just quiet about it."
Rabbits are prey animals — sensitive, easily stressed, and deeply misunderstood. Lynne knows how to move around them, how to earn their trust, and how to keep their environment calm and enriching while you're away.
"A relaxed rabbit is one of the most beautiful things."
Gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, ferrets. Small doesn't mean simple. These animals have complex social and environmental needs, and Lynne gives them the same attentive, personalized care she gives every animal.
"Small animals have enormous personalities. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
Feeding schedules, water quality checks, filter maintenance, temperature monitoring. A well-maintained aquarium is a living ecosystem — Lynne treats it with the care it deserves.
"An aquarium is a whole world. It deserves to be tended."
Have a unique animal you love? Reach out and tell Lynne about them. She'll be honest about whether she can help — and if the connection feels right, she'll care for them with the same love she gives every animal she meets.
Ask LynneTwenty years in veterinary medicine means Lynne is fully equipped to care for animals with complex medical needs — regardless of species. This is where her background makes an extraordinary difference.
"My cat Biscuit is notoriously shy — she hides from everyone. Within ten minutes of Lynne's first visit, Biscuit was in her lap. I've never seen anything like it."
"I was so nervous leaving my bearded dragon with anyone. Lynne knew exactly what he needed — the right temps, the right feeding schedule, the right handling. He was completely calm when I got home."
"My African Grey is notoriously difficult with strangers. Lynne sat quietly near his cage for the first visit and just talked softly. By the third visit he was stepping up for her. I was floored."
The first meeting is always free. Lynne comes to your home, meets your animal on their own turf, and lets the connection happen naturally. No pressure. No rush. Just Lynne.
