I love animals, lifelong dog Mom!

Pet care experience

I love dogs and they love me. I grew up with dogs and have always had one. My dogs are family. I travel with mine, hike, swim, bike, and love to play with dogs. I've been caring for senior dogs lately, my Pugsley was 18, nearly blind and deaf when she passed last year, her partner Buddy passed at 18ish, one eyed fellow I found 11 years before. Big or small dogs are the best companions and deserve our love and care. If I could I would have a farm full of dogs and other animals, housing and rescuing those in need. I worked as a registered nurse for 30+ years, very responsible and trustworthy. I have handled complex situations many times and know when I need to ask for help should an emergency arise. Luke is my latest rescue, 106 pounds of sweetness 💖

Linda was great! We have 3 dogs and our female is a typical rescue very weary of people and definitely not an easy friend to make. Linda won her over she was dedicated to coming by a few times before we even left. She kept us fully in the loop. We never thought we would find an in home dog sitter because of our female but we got so lucky! Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Linda was a super sitter for our two furry kids. Left the house in as good or better than when we left condition. We’ll try and work with her again as the need presents itself. Great with updates and pics too!! Thanks Linda

Excellent service, Linda made us feel at ease, coming by a day prior to meet us and the pets, giving us tips on dealing with our dogs anxiety over us leaving, and checking in to let us know how out pets were doing. Highly recommended; my only issue with giving so many stars is that she might not be available the next time we need her...

Linda was amazing and a blessing for us and our dogs. We loved how she interacted with our dogs as well. We have a dog who is very unsure of strangers and Linda handled her amazingly. By the end of the first day they were best friends. I highly recommend Linda. She made sure our dogs were well loved and cared for. Even took the time to help our dogs with separation anxiety, we were gone for 8 days. Such a blessing!
