I treat animals like my own!
Pet care experience
When I was about 10 years old I babysat my mother's bosses yellow lab. She stayed at our house for weeks while her owner was on vacation. I fed her, took her outside, bathed her and brushed her, played with her and made sure she felt like she was at home. I watched a smaller dog at my house as well for weeks while her owner was on vacation. I also owned a Presa Canario who was a 100 pound puppy! I walked her, trained her and fed her and brought her to visits since she was my very first dog living on my own. I also have experience walking multiple dogs at once. I am happy to become part of your pets daily life and a trusted face :)
Reviews
Lina was amazing with my cat! She sent tons of updates, pictures, and videos. It was great knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. I highly recommend her for you next sitter! Thanks Lina! 😊
Lina did an amazing job caring for our cats- she is a good communicator, conscientious, and patient with the animals she works with.
A loving and trustworthy animal lover. I am lucky to have such a person to take care of my little ones while I’m away. Thanks for everything you do!
Lina was so wonderful with our dog while we were away. Our pup was recovering from surgery and she was able to handle her medication and medical needs with ease. Lina kept us updated throughout our time away and sent lots of photos. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment
When I have pets in my home I make sure that any small toys that are my children's or my cat's toys are put away. I make sure that the animals can't get into any food that could make them sick, and I also make sure that I am careful upon entering and exiting my home so the pet doesn't try and escape. Usually when I have clients pets in my home I try and be home the majority of the visit. I do not have two clients animals at my home at one time because I don't want to stress out anyone's animals, or chance to animals fighting with one another. I do have three cats of my own, but when I am watching a client's animal at my home I usually put my animals in one room and keep the client's pet separated from them. I do have a fenced in backyard.

Information Lina M. would like to know about your pet
I am a single mom so I typically bring my two children with me to my clients house. So if your dog is not okay with young children, unfortunately this would not be a good fit. However, there are times when I do go alone to client's houses (Monday through Friday 9am-4:30pm). So the best thing to do is always message me the days and times that you need and if I happen to not have my children those times or days then I am more than happy to help out.
A typical day
I like to take a minimum of 30 minutes per walk. That way it gives the dog a chance to have some exercise, get some fresh air and make sure that they have an ample amount of time to use the bathroom. If they are staying in my house all day or if I'm at a client's house all day I will have at least the morning and the evening walk the longer walks and throughout the day I might bring them outside to just sit on the porch or run in the backyard if the client has a fenced in yard. I also am fine with having dogs in my car and I always let clients know that I am more than happy to bring their dog to a dog park if that is okay with my client.
