Caring Dog Sitter for Walks & Daily

I offer dependable dog care focused on walks and drop-in visits, and I take the time to get to know each dog and their routine. I understand that every dog is different — some love long walks and playtime, while others just want a calm visit, food, and a little company. I have experience with: Daily walks and playtime Drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, and companionship Puppies, including patience with training routines and leash walking Senior dogs who need slower walks, gentle care, and extra attention Giving basic medications and supplements when needed I’m very attentive and detail-oriented, and I follow care instructions exactly as requested. I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and energy and will always reach out if something feels off. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe, and that you feel confident knowing they’re being cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your day.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on safety, consistency, and following your instructions exactly. Before each visit, I review feeding, walking, and care details so nothing is missed. During walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses as provided and stay aware of surroundings, weather, and your dog’s comfort level. I adjust pace and distance based on age, energy, and health. In your home, I’m mindful of routines and boundaries. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and water are refreshed, and your dog has calm, positive interaction. I keep visits unhurried so your pet feels relaxed and cared for, not rushed. I also pay close attention to behavior and well-being. If I notice anything unusual — changes in appetite, energy, or mood — I communicate promptly. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is simple: your pet feels secure, and you feel confident trusting me with your home and your dog.

Lina was the most amazing sitter I couldve ever asked for. We needed someone super last minute to give our pup seizures meds and he’s kinda picky about people. She stayed with him the whole time, played with him, and took soooo many photos and videos. It left me feeling so good, and my dog is my whole world. I will absolutely use Lina again if I ever need someone

Lina was so awesome! She took great care of our pets while we were away and her communication was very fast and reliable. Would love to use her again in the future!

Lina is an excellent dog sitter, a wonderful human being with an incredible sense of integrity. She took care of my two elderly fur-babies as if they were her own. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur-babies were in wonderfully capable hands. I highly recommend Lina!

Lina is the most friendliest caring person I have ever met. She has been watching my two dogs for years and I wouldn't bring my babies to anyone else. They get so happy and excited to come to her house, I know she treats them very well. Their favorite part of the day is going in the lake by her house and taking a trip to the park. I sometimes have difficulties with their behavior but Lina seems to know how to handle them and they have actually improved since she has watched them. She is always very honest with me and always in a cheerful mood. I definitely recommend her if you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about animals. Your friends will be taken very good care of in her hands, I know mine are!

Schedule

et care fits naturally into my daily routine. I offer walks and drop-in visits around my work schedule, mainly mornings, afternoons, and early evenings, as well as weekends. Because I do this part time, I keep my availability realistic and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to be punctual, unhurried, and fully present during each visit rather than rushing between appointments. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a consistent schedule, whether that’s regular weekly walks or occasional drop-ins. I also understand that plans can change, and I do my best to be flexible when possible.

Before a visit, I like to know a few key things to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any special habits or quirks that help them feel at ease. It’s also helpful to know: Energy level and walking style Favorite toys, treats, or activities (and yes, if they love belly rubs) Any medical needs, allergies, or medications How they react to other dogs, people, or new environments Anything that makes them anxious or extra happy Clear instructions about leash use, entry details, and home expectations are always appreciated. The more I know ahead of time, the smoother the visit will be and the more comfortable your pet will feel. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away.
