About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes! I grew up and been around Rottweilers, an American Bulldog, and a Boxer. I was with them from puppy's til' they were seniors — and loved them every step of the way. I have also taken care of smaller dogs who required diabetic medications and diapers. I love all different breeds, shapes, and sizes of furry friends. I am a college student who also works part time. I would love to be able to help out after work! I usually get out at 3:30 Monday- Friday and have the entire weekend open! Anytime you need me I will be there. I have experience with crating a dog and walking safely. I am aware to keep my distance and respect the animals boundaries when it comes to objects, places, and other fur baby's.

About: I’ve taken care of numerous family members, friends, and coworkers pets since I was a child. I even rescued and nursed my first kitten to health after finding him in a dumpster. Hoping to share my love for animals in the area after moving here from California! I’m available full-time up as of now up until mid September when I begin my medical career. Once starting work, I hope to continue part-time! I can care for others pets however they need, as I find it important for animals health and wellness to have a consistent, steady schedule and environment. This includes crating, exercising, feeding, etc. as needed!

“Linda was 10 out of 10! This was our first time using rover and Linda was wonderful in taking care of our dogs who really have never stayed with anyone besides family before. She went above and beyond in making sure the dogs had adequate time outside and we didn’t come home to any potty accidents which is always such a big relief when you return home from traveling. So thankful our dogs were in good hands!”
