Linda W.
“I have had Linda in our home caring for our senior dog about a half a dozen times while we went away.. Some times for a few days and one 10 day trip and all i can say is how pleased we were with her. Not only the care she took on with our little senior one, but with our house in general.. when we got home our dog looked great, happy and healthy and our house was exactly as we left it. She will send you pictures and videos daily on what's going on at home... Gave us such a peace of mind. We would highly recommend Linda in a heart beat.”
