Pet care experience

20+ Years of Loving Pet Care 🐾

Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I’ve never known a home without a four-legged companion. My love for them led me to leave my federal career and fully pursue my passion for animal care, and I now work at a 5-star veterinary hospital where I continue learning every day. What sets me apart is my hands-on veterinary experience combined with genuine compassion. I’m comfortable administering medications (oral, topical), managing prescription diets, monitoring senior pets, and supporting puppies who are still learning routines and leash manners. I understand behavior, stress signals, and safety protocols — so your pet is not just loved, but cared for knowledgeably and responsibly. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of affection (yes, unlimited cuddles are included). I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so you’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos for peace of mind. Whether your pet needs energetic playtime, gentle senior support, medication management, or simply a calm, loving presence, I am here to help. I would absolutely love the op-purr-tunity to meet your furry family member and become their new trusted friend!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I understand that being in their own environment helps reduce stress, so I aim to keep everything as familiar and calm as possible. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral guidelines you provide. I double-check gates, doors, crates, and harnesses before and after every walk or visit to ensure your pet’s safety at all times.

Lina was wonderful with Benji and Princess. She was patient, attentive, and most importantly she updated regularly. I would definitely book her again and recommend her.

I consider my wgsd my fur son & will only provide him the best of care & Lina is top notch! She loves Kodi just as much as I do! What I appreciate most about Lina is not just her obvious love for animals but her professional approach. Rover isn’t just Lina’s side job, it’s what she loves & you can tell thru her actions. I highly recommend Lina if you are looking for secure, loving & professional care!!

Schedule

Pet care is intentionally built into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time blocks for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, ensuring pets receive consistent, unrushed attention. I prioritize reliability and punctuality, and I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s a planned and valued part of my day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Lina can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I would love to know if your cat/dog has any special needs so I can give them all the care they need! I would also like to know their temperament and how they get along with other animals.
