My first siblings were dogs, all of which were rescues. I developed an early interest in their activities and personalities, and a love of their companionship.
At age 14, I became a trained volunteer at the Town of North Hempstead Animal Shelter, helping to place dogs there for adoption. I learned a great deal about differences among breeds and how to handle a dog safely. Over the four years I was there, I couldn't resist taking two more dogs from the shelter, including my best friend, a pit bull mix named Gracie whom I was responsible for training. More recently, I fostered a dog from Texas after the Houston floods. He badly needed training, but with a little work he ingratiated himself and became a "foster failure" when the family decided to keep him. After graduating from Friends Academy, I enrolled at St. John's University, majoring in criminal justice. I hope to become a dog handler in law enforcement or Homeland Security. Working for Lindsey's Dog Training and Walking has allowed me to indulge my affinity for dogs while helping to prepare me for my dream career.

Hi, my name is Nina! For the clients who know me, I miss your pups. And although I no longer work for Lindsey full time, I help out when I can by managing this website and occasionally sending invoices.

Hey there! My name is Suzie, and I have been a dog owner for 15 years. I love ALL animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I've always felt that I have a special connection with dogs and working with them has been one of the best experiences I've ever had! Every dog has their own personality, and getting to know them is so much fun! Caring for these doggos couldn't be more rewarding!

Hi! My name is Genna, I'm 24 and from Floral Park NY. I love hiking, listening to music, photography and traveling. I grew up with dogs and when I got older volunteered at a couple of shelters. I love working with dogs because to me it's never felt like work. Every dog is so unique and its a rewarding process to befriend them and eventually earn their trust and love. I'm very lucky to get to work for Lindsey and with pups!
