Highlights
Pet care experience
Fellow Dog mom in San Francisco
Growing up, I spent time as the main caretaker and trainer for my family dogs who were both rescues. Having moved to San Francisco seven years ago, I have been caring for neighbors and coworkers dogs from the smallest Maltese, to the largest Great Dane. I currently have a super social Labrador mix who will get along with dogs and cats of any size. I’m here to offer my time because I relate to the struggle of many pet owners when coordinating and planning for vacation; and this makes me a more mindful and proactive caretaker! I’m active and love keeping your pups healthy and in good company. Experienced in handling pups with trauma (not worried about any biters here) and pups who might not get along with other pups.

Ratings and reviews
Linda took such great care of my pup! She was so responsive and shared so many pics and updates. Penny loved staying with Linda and her pup and I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone. She even helped with Pennys leash training :)
Linda is always communicative and kind. I never worry about leaving Beanie with her.
Linda is always stellar. She is enthusiastic and so kind every time she stays with Beans. She is communicative and sends lots of photos, always reassuring us when we are away.
Linda is amazing. I’ve never had a better sitter — she was able to deal with some hectic changes to schedule and took care of the dogs with great love and care. Very grateful to her.
Linda provides so many great photos and comments. She was so attentive to beans and her needs as well as caring for the apartment. I always feel confident that Beans will be taken care of and I don’t have to worry.
Linda was amazing! She was so attentive to beans and her needs. She took notes and made sure to follow up to confirm she had all the details. Her thoroughness and kind demeanor made me feel secure leaving my fuzzy one for the weekend! She sent lots of updates and photos during her stay. 10/10 will book with her again!

Schedule
I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays (and offer additional flexibility according to how early you book in advance) so I can keep a keen eye on the animals during the day including playtime and midday walks. Usually I’m awake by 7am and take my own pup for a walk and a meal. During the workday I’m able to monitor the pups. After normal work hours, I take the animals out for fresh air and exercise for both animal and pup. Structured days are healthy days!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I’m able to attune to the animals needs during the workday especially if they are boarding at my house. While raising my own dog, I fit in playtime and walks during the day, as well as a minimum of two walks a day.

A typical day
A typical day would consist of a morning walk and evening walk lasting at least 30 minutes. Scattered throughout the day your pup will have plenty of training opportunities with treats and interaction as needed.
