Loving & Reliable Care

Pet care experience

I have always had dogs and cats in my life from a very young age and feel comfortable working with both small and large dogs. I have volunteered at shelters over the years walking and caring for animals and I have been pet sitting exclusively for 8 years. This is not a temporary or part-time gig for me. I gained valuable experience working for a dog trainer as a local pet sitter and I’ve continued caring for animals independently both through Rover and via local referrals. I offer personalized loving pet care that is flexible and attentive. When I'm with your pets, I'm focused on their comfort and individual needs. From daily walks to overnight stays, I will provide your dogs and cats with the love, attention, and the care they deserve while you’re away. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated throughout visits so you know what we're up to. I take and send way too many pics! I want to make sure your babies are feeling comfortable, entertained, loved, and as relaxed as possible while you're away, and, as a dog mom myself, I want you to know what’s going on with them throughout the stay. I have had my own seniors and special needs animals and I'm experienced in testing blood sugar and administering insulin shots, as well as pills and drops for dogs and cats. I am first-aid certified and I will reinforce any commands that you are working on with your baby. I have worked with small and large breeds and I have many years of experience with hounds especially, but all pups and kitties are welcome!

Linda did a great job with my two dogs! She was able to keep them on schedule and stay overnight because one of our dogs is older and takes medication. I would definitely use Linda’s services again!

Linda was great! She kept in touch with me and sent a ton of pictures. I know my dogs were well cared for. When we came home, the house was exactly how we left it. Will definitely use Linda again.

It’s obvious Linda loves animals. She is reliable, competent, and cares for an animal’s specific needs.

Linda is always great with our dog. I can tell he's happy when she's here to take care of him. She's also very professional and provides helpful updates. Highly recommended.
