“Linda was absolutely wonderful with our cats! They took to her immediately, which is no small feat for how particular they are. We felt totally at ease having her in our home; she’s trustworthy, communicative, kind, and clearly has a natural way with animals. We’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to fellow pet parents!”
About: I have helped my family train our puppies throughout my life and I help out at the vet clinic my mother works at by taking on the boarding tasks. I have had dogs my entire life and have been taught how to handle them both on leash and how to play. I have owned a wide array of dogs from dachshunds to a German Shepherd. I do not believe in the stigma when it comes to breeds such as pit bulls, I currently own a pittie. I do not mind cleaning up after a pet on walks or even bathing them. I am very active and am willing to go quite a distance for the more energetic fur babies. I believe that a tired dog is a happy dog. I’m currently working at Starbucks for only half days at a time! So I am available in the afternoons and sometimes evenings and early mornings! I have one dog friendly dog living with me currently, but sadly no yard. I will respect your space and the dog’s space and do as you request when taking care of your pup!
About: I have taken care of animals of all kinds for most of my life. I started a small pet sitting business in high school and am missing that aspect of my life. I have cared for up to 12 puppies, senior dogs that need medication, and blind and deaf animals. I love all animals and caring for each of them and their individual needs! I am currently a college student and working a part-time job. I will be available to check on your pets between work and classes. I will also be available to stay every night that you need me, and be there to play and love on your pets when I am not working or in class! I will care for pets in their homes, because that is where they are most comfortable. I will do whatever is asked of me in order to keep the pets’ routine normal and safe for them!

Lynsee N.
“Lynsee has came and stayed at my home twice while we have been on vacation. She stayed here with my two dogs and two cats. She was extremely helpful and loving towards my animals. I felt so much better knowing that my pets were being taken care of in their own home, rather than being locked up in a kennel at a vet. I would strongly recommend her to keep your babies!”
