Ms. Bock has done an excellent job of housesitting and pet sitting for me. She loves to play with both my dogs and cats, and left my house nicer than when I left home. She stayed with my pets for over two weeks, and I was contacted by her whenever there was a concern for them. I have used her twice and my pets seemed happy to see her the second time. When there was an issue with my mail and my neighbor she handled it very nicely, contacting me to keep me aware. At one point she ran out of dog food, and was able to purchase the same food for my dogs. Would gladly hire her again.

I met Linda about 20 years ago when we were both volunteering for a local shelter in Palm Harbor. She was part of the dog care team that provided daily care for allthe dogs at the shelter. We worked very closely for about 4 years. She was one of my most dependable volunteers. Not only did she always show up for her shifts but she offered to help out when others canceled or we were short of help. She has a certain intuitive way of handling animals...knowing what to do and what they needed. She helped with many their behavior issues and provided training to help them be more prepared for new homes. Linda is also the one I called when I needed help to make conditions better for the dogs...like getting ac for the shelter area where the dogs were housed or improving the outdoor areas for dogs to play in. She loves animals and treats them all like they are hers and very special. I would definitely trust her to care for my pets having watched her care for and work with many dozens of dogs over our 4 years together at the shelter.

Linda is a loving and dependable pet sitter who treats every animal like part of her own family. Whether it’s daily care, playtime, or simply providing comfort while their owners are away, she focuses on creating a safe, happy environment for each pet. Alongside that, her strong customer service approach means she communicates clearly, stay attentive to each client’s needs, and go the extra mile.

If your dog has any health issues, behavior issues and any particular quirks that I should be aware of. I'd like to know if they are good with other dogs when on and off a leash. Whether you're pet is leash trained. Their feeding and potty schedule. Is there any rules in your neighborhood where I can and cannot take your your pet. Vet and emergency numbers.
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.
