Dogs and cats

I am in the Middletown- goshen area of Orange County and can’t board any animals at our new home. I prefer a meet and greet before booking and have excellent references. I can walk, spend time with , and play with your dogs and/or cats. I’m experienced with administering medications to both. I have references from my customers in Sullivan county where I used to live if needed . Recently retired I now have a very open schedule for your vacations or weekend needs. I have been an Eagle nest monitor for the NYDEC from 2011 - 2019 on the Delaware River and on Yankee Lake NY 2013- 2022 and have been involved in animal rescue . *That means I have both domestic animal and wildlife experience. I have been a local volunteer and continue to involved in my community.

Safety, trust & environment

Sadly, I no longer have a place to board any animals. But I do have some great references and would provide them upon request. I do have a medium size pup of my own I can bring if you have a friendly dog.

Linda gave us peace of mind. It was wonderful to not have to worry about Bruce so we could enjoy our daughter’s wedding weekend.

We are always happy to have Linda come and care for Bruce. She checks in with us in advance, sends lots of pictures and leaves very thorough notes.

Linda was great and very sweet with my senior pup. She took time to always play with my pup and give her lots of cuddly attention. Definitely trustworthy and timely, would rebook.

Linda was very nice & pleasant & our dog was very friendly with her on the first meeting. However, he did not seem to know how to act when she came in the house when we were not home. She was able to let him out. We might work with him & try again in a few weeks. Linda was very open to making it work.

Schedule

I am newly retired and can come anytime that fits into your schedule . Hopefully I can be the person you call for your vacation or special occasions.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Linda can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Dogs need to have tick meds and wormer. I just can't take agressive dogs or very large ( over 100 lbs ) if they are tough to control. My husband and son (over 30 yrs old) can be around for help if needed.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
