I share my home with three wonderful cats and I’ve been a dog owner in the past, giving me experience with both feline and canine personalities. -Red Cross Pet First Aid certification -Certified TNR for feral cat communities -Insured Pet Sitters Associates (PSA) -Experience walking difficult dogs at the Michigan Humane Society -Former interpreter for trainers at Leader Dogs for the Blind Whether your pet needs playtime, quiet companionship, medication, or a slow, reassuring approach, I meet them exactly where they are. My goal is always the same: to keep your pet safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.

Linda is the most caring and responsible pet owner & sitter I know! She goes above and beyond providing wonderful care to all animals and is very trustworthy. She is experienced with animals that may need extra attention and medical assistance. As a very picky pet owner myself, I highly recommend Linda to take care of your pets!

I would highly recommend Linda B. to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver for their pets. Linda is one of those people who truly connects with animals; she is gentle, attentive to their well-being, and showers every pet in her care with love and affection. She treats animals not just as pets, but as cherished family members, ensuring they feel completely safe, secure, and happy. Linda is responsible, organized, and reliable. As a cat Mom, she understands how it feels to be away from your pets. Linda is a kind-hearted human being who brings absolute dedication to everything she does, and I have total confidence that she will provide the highest level of care for your pets.

I like to know anything that helps me keep your pet comfortable and safe. This includes their routine, feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, energy level, and any fears or sensitivities (loud noises, strangers, other animals, etc.). For cats, I also appreciate knowing their hiding spots, how they prefer to be approached, and whether they enjoy play or prefer quiet company. The more I know ahead of time, the more smoothly I can follow your pet’s normal routine.
