Information Linda & Christopher D. would like to know about your pet

What I like to know about your pet ahead of time is, the name of the vet that your pup goes to. I also want to know your pups likes and dislikes they may have.

A typical day

We love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. We have dog puzzles (let them find the treat). We love to walk and throw the ball.

Love dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly love having them around. I do tend to spoil them, but I always follow the instructions you, the parent, provide. I have had senior dogs and puppies and always give them the extra care they need.

Linda and Chris are great! They took excellent care of our dog Bailey. We appreciated the updated and pictures. They allowed Bailey to make herself right at home and gave her all the attention and cuddles she requires❤️ We are so thankful for the great care and their flexibility due to flight delays. We definitely recommend them and look forward to using them in the future.

They were great with our Aussie ! They sent pictures and kept in touch while we were away. They were very supportive with our small delay picking up Hazel. Very appreciative and would recommend Linda and Christopher to anyone!

Linda and Chris watched my dog for over a week. They were very responsive and I could tell my dog was getting love and attention the whole time. She is typically a shy girl and warmed up quickly to them. I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands.

I loved this kind and welcoming couple. Nifty loved them! She is a mini australian sheppard and loves constant attention. I could tell that they took great care of her. They sent me lots of pictures of her having fun. They were so sweet and I loved thier big fenced in yard. I knew that Nifty would love it there. I really hope and pray that they are available on my trip to Puerto Rico. I felt totally at ease and sure that they would do a great job. I would totally recomment Linda and Christopher to all my friends with dogs. They have so much love to give. The minute I met them I new that Nifty would love them. I felt so comfortable with them when I met them. I am so glad that I found a great loving home for my dog to stay if I have to go away again. I would highly recommend this couple to watch your pets. They will love it there. Thank you so much Linda and Christopher for making your home Nifty's while she stayed with you. I was so scared of leaving her with a Dog daycare with lots of dogs. She is very nervous of other dogs and people and barks at them. I felt like the Dog Daycares would not be a good fit for Nifty. I feel fortunate and very blessed to have found Linda and Christopher. I never owned a dog before since March of last year. My husband and I love Nifty so much. Nifty was our first dog. I was nervous to leave her with someone in thier house. It is so much better than a Dog daycare with a bunch of dogs. I was not fearful that another dog would make her feel nervous the whole time that she would be with Linda and Christopher. I am so glad that my husband and I found this great, fun and loving couple. I can't say enough about this couple. It was truly a great experience. I was able to go to New York City of Manhatton for my son's 30th surprise birthday party. I had so much fun! I did not worry once about Nifty. I new that they had a lot of love to give Nifty when I met them. When I went to pick up Nifty she looked so happy and well cared for. I would most definetely love it if Linda and Chistopher are available if I ever need a dog sitter again. Their house is so cute and peaceful. I know Nifty loved them. Thanks again Linda and Christoper for a great peace of mind that you gave us. Thank you for all of the love that you gave Nifty!
