Safety, trust & environment
We treat all the dogs as part of our family. They have access to our home just like our own dog. We have a large fenced yard where we play with them and I take them on walks daily.
Home
Information Linda B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dog's regular schedule for eating and going out. I would also like to know about the dog's personality and things they like to do. We do not watch Pitt bulls or Pitt mixes.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I would take your dog on walks in my neighborhood which has sidewalks and is fairly quiet. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog may sleep in a cage if they are used to that otherwise on a dog bed in my room or the living room depending on their preference. Time I'll spend with your dog I plan to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care. I love to be active and be outdoors so I can take them for walks(weather permitting) as well as play ball in the yard. Our home is dog proof so the dogs can go wherever we go in the house.

Pet care experience
We are a former dog foster who now cares for dogs in our home while you vacation! Large fenced yard and loving atmosphere! Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and friendly with people and dogs. We have a medium sized dog of our own! About this sitter: I am a former dog foster mom who is looking to provide boarding in our home or dog walking in my area. We have experience with many breeds and dogs of all ages and sizes. We do not provide boarding for Pitt Bulls. We are active and fun family that loves dogs! We have a large fenced yard for the dogs to play in, and I also take walks daily. I now work as a teacher and my husband leaves for work around 8:30 and someone is home about 3:20. My husband works from home on some Thursdays and Fridays. I have a teacher schedule and am off for breaks, holidays and summers! We only care for 1 dog family at a time! I am a former dog foster home with experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life! I have owned a few different dogs and we were also a foster home for dogs for an organization out of St. Charles. We enjoyed all our foster dogs which were all different ages and breeds. We have owned a large lab and now a medium sized mutt, but like dogs of all sizes! Meet my pets Dog, rabbit About my yard We have a large fenced back yard. Pictures are in my profile.

My experience administering medication Yes, I have experience giving various medications to dogs including those who don't like to take it ;). I also have experience giving insulin shots.
Reviews
Linda and her family are great with our two dogs. They treat them like their own and send us frequent photos. Highly recommended!!
Linda and her family took great care of Soy Sauce and Sadie! They looked like they had a blast and they were tired after, so that sums up the experience for them. It was Sadie’s first boarding experience so it was also reassuring to see her happy. Will rebook for sure!
Have boarded my border collie Fern with Linda and her family several times and they always take great care of her, including administering her meds, are extremely responsive to messaging, and are very organized when it comes to a dog's care needs. Fern is always very happy at drop-off, so I know she loves the stay.
As usual, Linda and her family were great with our two dogs. One of our two was new to being boarded - and is a “high energy” pup. She was made to feel at home. We will be boarding our pups with Linda again next month.
