Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and care for any animal around the clock. When housing animals, I do ask that animals do not jump up on the furniture on their own free will. We have leather couches and prefer dogs that have their own dog beds but if needed, we can discuss this in person and do what we can to accommodate them. Our Pepper, had congestive heart failure and was on medication and a special diet, so giving medicines and specific dog food is not a problem. We usually walk dogs 3x a day (2x during extremely hot days), as weather permits. We live in a cul-de-sac, so for many it's just a nice walk around the block for 10-15 minutes. Your fur baby will get plenty of exercise and enjoy the outdoors as they are free to run and play in the fenced in backyard. Thanks again and hope to see you and your fur babies soon.

Information Linda B. would like to know about your pet

I promise to do my best to follow your instructions and your pet(s) normal routine. Detailed instructions by yourself are extremely helpful and welcome. I want to ensure your pet(s) is/are getting as close to the same care they are used to receiving. Please provide whatever your pet needs and loves (i.e. bed, blankets, toys, food, medicine, etc.). Again, my goal is for the owner to have peace of mind and know their pet is in excellent hands. Please see my referrals and if you refer anyone to me, Rover has a discount they will provide to you.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing games, watching TV, and doing the things they are familiar with that bring them joy & comfort. Someone is normally home or at most gone for a couple of hours, so your pet will not feel alone and will get plenty of care and attention.

I ❤️ PETS! Reliable! 40+ yrs of exp

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs (German Shepard (Mix), Beagle, Golden Retriever, Min Pin, Havanese) since I was born and raised 3 of my own. I LOVE all animals as well as my family. If we board your dog(s) or we have them for day care, they need to be hypoallergenic. If I go to your house to walk or play with dogs/cats, they do not have to be hopoallergenic. Both my husband and daughter are allergic to ALL Cats and some Dogs. I introduced this love to my daughter 12 years ago when she was 9 (now she's 21) & together, we cared and continue to care for numerous pets in and around our neighborhood. She's in college now, but always enjoys a dog when she comes home for a weekend, holiday, or anytime. I appreciate you in advance for trusting me and my family to take care for your pet(s) whenever given the opportunity. I've personally never known what it's like to not take care for an animal but we did lost our Havanese in the summer of 2024. We will be getting another one, but have not done so yet, so they is currently no other pet at our house. And we have a lot of love to give to all pets. We'll do our best to treat them just like you would. Our goal is to make them feel just like they do at home. If that's the service you're wanting for your fur baby/babies - look no further! Book a meet and greet. Also feel free text me any questions as well.

Peyami always enjoys his stay with Linda. She loves pets and that gives me comfort knowing my Peyami is getting the love and attention he gets at home. Thanks for the videos and pics of Peyami during his puppy vacay 😁

Linda is the best❣️ When I first met Lunda, I knew she was the sitter I’d be able to trust my pooch with. From all the pics Linda texted me, I knew Peyami’s stay was enjoyable for him and that’s priceless. Thank you Linda ?
