Availability
Updated March 2026: I currently have pretty open availability. I am prioritizing recurring clients with mild-moderate reactivity, but I am always interested in meeting new dogs (and cats!) and providing excellent care however I can.

About Lina B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
If you're interested in house-sitting services, please contact me to discuss; I only accept them on a case-by-case basis and I prioritize stays for clients with behaviourally/medically complex pets. As an alternative, I'm happy to accommodate multiple drop-in visits per day if you're away. I'll make sure your dog gets time to do their business outside, clean up any indoor messes, and give food and any required medications. Please note that my house sitting services do not automatically involve walks beyond several potty breaks throughout the day/evening, generally within fenced yards or just a few minutes up and down the street on a leash. Depending on your dog's care needs, this can be discussed further, but I generally charge more for adding full walks to house sitting jobs.
Information Lina B. would like to know about your pet
Any known behavioural quirks or concerns, such as lunging, barking, freezing, etc.; any medical information, such as allergies, hip, or knee problems; any preferences for areas to avoid
A typical day
I've been to probably about 90% of the parks and trails in the Peterborough area, and they're generally my favourite places to walk dogs. If you live close to one, we can go there and have a good sniff around, or take whichever route you prefer. I have a standard 6 foot leash with a traffic handle as well as a 15 foot long line for "discovery" walks in more open areas. I also carry dehydrated liver treats, poo bags, a dedicated dog water bottle, and a collapsible water bowl on my walking belt.

Experienced Reactive Dog Walker
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Lina*! I have over six years of animal care experience in shelter and dog daycare environments. I also walked dogs as an independent contractor on top of my other work from 2020 to 2021. I am experienced with handling dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and abilities. My number one priority is keeping your dog as safe and comfortable as possible when out in the world – something many novice walkers take for granted! My own dog is dog/leash-reactive, so I have a lot of experience in systematically desensitizing and re-teaching her how to love going out for walks, as well as safely redirecting the occasional uninvited off-leash dog headed toward her. In my previous dog walking job, many of my clients had dogs with mild/moderate behavioural issues; most often lunging/barking at passing dogs. The regular clients I served were impressed with the improvements made over time. I love being able to make a difference and missed it so much that I’m here on Rover. I am certified in pet first aid, and my shelter and daycare experience has given me the skills I need to be comfortable handling just about any manner of medication for cats and dogs. I’ve been working outdoors for the last five years and am absolutely comfortable taking your dog out rain or shine. *I went by Lina when I made my Rover account years ago, but I typically go by my first name, Keegan, now! I will respond to either one, so don't worry!

Reviews
Lina is wonderful…would highly recommend her..my dogs loved her from the moment they met her…she is very calm and put’s one at ease with knowledge of dogs and their needs. She was very conscious of one of my dog’s reactivity to other dogs and managed it successfully with every walk….we will definitely be reaching out to her again for her services.
Very good with our SugaRoo. She's good and tired after her walk. Very nice person. Wed use her again but we only needed a walker until the snow melted
Lina was so great with my protective older dog. they knew exactly how to approach him and it was obvious they had lots of experience. I will definitely be booking again with Lina!
Leena was so reliable, professional and wonderful walking our dog Nala while we were on vacation. It was so comforting knowing our girl was in good hands while we were away. Always provided timely updates with pictures and we could tell Leena worked with our dog on her reactivity to other dogs during her time with her. Will definitely be booking again!
