House Sitting • Sep 28, 2026

Linda house sat for my 3 dogs over a long weekend and was amazing. She went above and beyond with all 3 of my dogs, they were so happy to stay with her. She sent me pictures of them everyday with an update of how they were doing. They always looked happy and healthy in all the pictures, which was very reasurring for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she is wonderful with dogs and they were very comfortable and happy with her. Next time I go away and cannot bring them, I will definitely be booking her to sit with my dogs.

Linda did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs, Nestle and Cassidy. She went above and beyond taking them for multiple walks each day. They are large dogs and she handled them expertly. She had to clean up an unexpected mess and took care of everything efficiently and professionally. Highly recommend Linda and will use her again in the future.

Linda was absolutely wonderful and truly saved us over the Fourth of July weekend when we needed a last-minute sitter. She took amazing care of Mela and treated her like she was part of her own family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mela was in such caring and dependable hands. Linda is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly loves animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much, Linda!

Linda has watched my Thunder for several years now and loves Thunder as much as I do! She is caring, responsible and very attentive to Thunders needs, especially as he gets older. I would recommend Linda to anyone looking for someone special to care for their 4 footed friend and companion.
