Information Linda G. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible about your fur baby…likes and dislikes, their daily routine and more so I can take care of them the way you do!

A typical day

I love to play and give pets lots of love and attention… if they like it! I am happy to have dogs sit with me on my couch and sleep with me if they like to.

Animal Lover Extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

I love all animals...especially dogs and cats! I have had two cats of my own, Copley and Max and a ShiTzu Poodle, named Chloe, who lived to 15 1/2. I now fulfill my love of animals by pet sitting. I have even taken care of a hairless Guinea Pig named Ducky! I have taken care of a variety of dogs and cats for family, friends and clients and would love to take care of yours when you are away or busy! I will give your fur baby lots of love.

Linda took incredible care of Asher. He took to her immediately and she was very patient with his antics (he can be stubborn at times).

Linda did a good job trying to follow my unique instructions while I was traveling (e.g. dealing with pine pellet cat litter, adding water to wet food to make it soupy). But I got the sense she's more of a dog person than a cat person. I paid a higher rate in attempt to get *deep* cat expertise, someone who currently owns cats in their own home and could give medication to a reluctant cat, I don't think Linda has cats now or would be comfortable doing this.

This is my pup's second stay with Linda, and it'll be the second of many stays to come. Linda is really wonderful, she provides frequent updates and pictures, has great communication, and clearly is a massive dog lover. You can't go wrong with Linda - thank you!
