Pet care experience

Love all animals like my own

I have been walking and loving on dogs at the Humane Society for 7 years. I have taken shelter dogs to training classes for basic obedience and AKC Good Citizen. I use click and treat to reward good behavior, like sitting on command and walking nicely on leash. I started out walking a neighbor's pet for free and now dog walking is my preferred form of exercise. It keeps me from becoming a "couch potato"! My cats are my children. They follow me around the house and bring me toys when they want attention. I have adopted five kitties over 35 years. Sabrina was adopted 2 years ago. She was so frightened of "everything" that she would bolt at the slightest sound. Today she is serene and accepts hugs and kisses without objection. Retirement allows me plenty of time to pet sit or to walk your dog. I enjoy the time with your pet each and every time. Weekends, weekdays or holidays are all good! This is not a service that I provide because I have 2 cats. In my experience, cats and dogs don't mix well, and so I don't attempt boarding.

Safety, trust & environment

Most care takes place in the client's home. I walk dogs 2 or 3 times a day, depending on their usual routine. I take dogs that I've brought home for long walks. They need to be socialized for interaction with my cat. Only calm animals are invited into my house. Only one dog at a time.

Linda did above and beyond her job description. I had a lot of flowers that needed to be watered while I was gone and she did an awesome job. Charlie looks happy.

Linda was great! She came over every evening for 5 days to stay with our two beagles, walked them, gave them treats and cuddled with them. She took great care of our boys. And the house was spotless when we returned. Thanks Linda!

Linda has been watching our girls Molly and Hannah for years. We have no worries they will be well cared for and comfortable while we are gone. This trip was a little different, in that we didn't have good communications with Linda on our end but no worries. Linda nows what to do in any situation. Linda is the best. D&K

Schedule

I'm available every day of the week to feed, play, and walk your pet. I stay all night with your pet. My routine includes providing the evening meal (between 5pm and 6pm), giving walks morning and/or evening, and giving emotional support by staying all night. I leave in the morning about 9:30am. I am unavailable for 24-hour care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Linda can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
How old is the pet? Any medical issues? Is the pet good with other dogs? How does the pet parent reward good behavior? Preferred treat? I love all breeds of dogs, but am partial to pit bulls. They are smart and sweet!
