Dog Sitting Linden

“Claire was a great help in caring for my two cats during a time when I needed it. She was reliable and stayed in close contact with me, being sure to reach out if she had any questions. She did a nice job of attending to the needs of my kitties. I appreciated the help and will call on her again.”

About: Pet care experience: I’ve been taking care of my own dog for over 3 years, but my love for dogs goes back more than 30 years. When I was in middle school, I spent two summers caring for my neighbor’s dog, and I’ve continued to care for friends’ dogs ever since—including recently dog sitting for a friend while they were on their honeymoon. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving oral medications, or providing gentle care for senior dogs, I always treat every dog like they’re my own. What sets me apart: I genuinely love dogs and always take the time to understand their unique personalities and needs. I’m detail-oriented, patient, and fully committed to keeping your pet safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with puppies in training, senior dogs, and pets who may need a little extra attention. With a flexible schedule and a calm, loving approach, I make sure your dog feels at home—even when they're not. My partner and I both work from home during the week, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. On weekends, we occasionally go out during the day, but we’re usually home in the evenings to relax—perfect for cozying up with a furry friend. Our flexible routine allows us to adapt to your pet’s needs, whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. In our home, your dog will be treated like family. We create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and with plenty of cozy spots to rest. I always follow any specific care instructions you provide, from feeding schedules to medications and routines. We make sure walks are safe with secure harnesses and leashes, and we never leave pets unattended outdoors. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll always keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: I've grown with both cats and dogs majority of my life. I am patient and love all animals. Give me instructions on how to take care of your pet and I'll do that and so much more. I am currently working at a part-time job and will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I can do drop-ins through-out the weekend as I am almost a full-time student during weekdays. I will be sure to check with owner of where pet is allowed to go in their home and if there are any issues with fences.

About: I love animals and have experience working with and sitting for a wide range of them, including dogs, cats, and small or exotic animals. I myself have owned over twenty parrots (currently have two in the aviary!) and have extensive experience with fishkeeping — I have four cycled, walstad fish and shrimp tanks! I can walk your dog, clean your cat’s litter box, and even do water changes for your fish if needed! Anything to make sure your little guys are well cared for! I’m a graduate student who will be free over the summer, so my schedule is flexible until late August. I can make myself and my home available as needed. I live in a townhome that features a large, lush, and open neighborhood to walk your dogs in. My home has two floors; the first floor is where your pet will stay. When your pet is in my home, they are treated like members of my family. They will be fed, walked, and enriched on your schedule, and will be allowed to sit on the couch and even sleep in my bed at nights if comfortable. I take great care to ensure that your pet’s stay is comfortable and fun-filled. In my home, I currently have two budgies in a large cage and two betta fish, each in 5-10 gallon tanks. The parrots are allowed to free fly for most of the day, but they will be put away or kept caged when your pets are being boarded. When I am in your home, I cultivate the utmost respect. I try not to disturb or move anything that’s not necessary. I’ll make use of only what’s given to me with regards to caring for your pet, and leave everything else exactly how I found it.

About: Boarding Services- dogs 0 to 20 pounds. I grew up in a household that always had multiple dogs and was actively involved in their care, including feeding, bathing, walking, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have been caring for dogs for over 25 years and has always been a natural part of my life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your loved family member. I work part-time remotely, which means your pet will get tons of cuddles, playtime, and supervision throughout the day! I may occasionally step out for short errands, but I am never away for more than a couple of hours at a time. Your pet will always receive attentive, loving care in a safe environment. • ☀️ Morning Routine (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM): We kickstart the day with a refreshing morning walk to stretch those legs and take care of business. This is followed by breakfast, fresh water, and any morning medications your pup requires. • 🎾 Midday & Afternoon (12:00 AM - 2:00 PM): Afternoon potty break and mental stimulation-just as important as physical exercise! We spend this time also playing fetch in a secure area and playing with puzzle toys/snuffle mat. Afterward, they get plenty of time to lounge, nap, and relax. • 🌇 Early Evening (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM): It's time for another potty break and dinner. If your dog has high energy, this is a great time for a longer evening walk or a trip to a local, nearby park if permitted. • 🌙 Wind Down (8:00 PM - 9:00 PM): We wrap up the day with a final short walk before bedtime. Then, it's quality cuddle and belly rub time on the couch before lights out! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your dog will receive personalized attention and care. My goal is to have your pet feel happy and secure, whether they are in their home or mine. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have been relied upon by friends, family, and neighbors for pet care for the past 25 years. My practical, hands-on experience has taught me patience, reliability, and how to anticipate a pet's needs and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with various breeds and temperaments and committed to upholding the highest standard of care.

When I arrived home from the hospital, Emily, my parents border collie was there to greet me and we became best friends. Ever since that day, dogs and I have been in a constant sync. Wherever I go in public, I’m instantly drawn to pet and greet the dog. I haven’t met a dog who doesn’t enjoy my company, and vice versa.

About: In both my home country of Argentina as well as in the US, I've taken care of small dogs and cats for several friends and families (as well as my own) for the last 15 years. I recently resigned from my regular job to spend more time with my family, and am ready to go back to do something I LOVE...care for cats and dogs :) I have 3 indoor cats who roam around my house, Pulgita, Simon and Patricio. Pulgita is the newcomer, less than 2 years old. Simon and Patricio are old timers, both 14 years old. I have a spacious house for them to roam around and play.

“Jacqueline looked after my kitten when I was away for the weekend, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!! The updates were thorough and when I got back I could tell my kitten was well taken care of. Would book her for drop in visits again if I’m going out of town!”

“Rwitika has been so wonderful to my two dogs. She feeds them and they look forward to their walk with her. I would recommend her to all my friends and family. She's the best!”

About: What sets me apart is my ability to be both caring and dependable in moments that require real attentiveness—something I’ve developed through years of working in community programs, internships, and leadership roles. Whether I was leading a team project, supporting a friend, or organizing events through my cycling club, I’ve always been someone who shows up fully and handles responsibility with care. I bring that same energy to pet care—tuning into each animal’s needs, whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy or being patient with a senior pet. I’m calm, communicative, and take pride in making both pets and their owners feel secure and understood. As a recent grad preparing for law school and transitioning into the workforce, my schedule is relatively flexible—especially during the weekdays. Pet care has been a grounding and fulfilling part of my routine. It gives me the chance to stay active, present, and connected in a meaningful way while balancing studying and professional goals. I genuinely enjoy the rhythm of it, and I treat every booking with the same level of care and responsibility I bring to my academic and work commitments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I love making sure everyone—pets and people—feels comfortable, safe, and at ease. That’s something I’ve really practiced through leading Catching Wind, the cycling and wellness club I started in college. Creating a space where people felt welcomed, supported, and looked after—whether they were riding for the first time or just needed community—taught me a lot about patience, attentiveness, and how to care for different needs. I bring that same approach to pet care. I listen closely, follow instructions, respect your space, and aim to create an environment where your pet feels loved, relaxed, and understood.

“Julienne is a confident and knowledgeable walker who is kind to my pup. She is excellent with following instructions and responsible with her communication and timeliness. She's great!”

Meredith H.

“Jennifer was a fantastic dog walker & carer for our pup who stayed home while we went away. She was open to meeting with us prior, to form a bond with our anxious dog, who warmed up to her instantly! For once, we felt at ease travelling without Kobe. Jennifer also administered his medication everyday with no hiccups and stayed in contact with us daily, which made us feel very reassured. Not only would I recommend her services — we look forward to Jennifer watching Kobe again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would! ??”

“Excellent pet sitter! They visited my home three times a day for 9 days and took great care of my dog. They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout my trip. I had complete peace of mind and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!”
