Pet care experience

I love dogs & I adore them so much!

I took care of my mom’s 2 senior malitpoos since they were puppies. I adore them as they’re like my own dogs. I also took care of my best friend’s dog (mixed breed - American terrier pitbull) while she was out of town a few times. Another friend of mine has 3 senior dogs and I took care of them while she and her daughter were out of town a few times. She was next door neighbor so I was able to go over there several times a day without needing to stay over night. I don’t have experience training puppies, but as long as the client gives me an instruction how or what I need to do then I’ll follow them no problems. I do care about dogs just much as if they were small children and I love spending with them to make sure they’re comfortable and reduce their separation anxiety. I normally play calming music for dogs who might suffer separation anxiety rather I’m in the house for a bit or away. I also love walking dogs around the neighborhood especially at sunset time or during cool weather/season. I’ve given some dogs some medicine, groom them, and occasionally brush their teeth.

Safety, trust & environment

While I’m staying at your place, as long as you have a proper fence, cover the swimming pool or gate around the pool to prevent them falling in, and make sure there aren’t any expose electric lines where they can easily access to. I would feel better if you provide your choice of primary vet and emergency vet contact information where I can take them to if anything happens.

Our experience with Linda G was nothing short of wonderful. We have two Aussies one of which is a bit of a handful. Linda happily accommodated all pup needs and kept us regularly updated with texts and photos. Our home was left clean and tidy 👍. We will certainly request Linda for future stays and highly recommend for yours! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Linda provided an in-house overnight dog sitting service. She was incredibly accommodating with my last-minute request for our dog who wasn’t feeling well. Linda was professional, quick to respond, attentive to instructions, provided regular updates with photos, and our dog who is usually cautious with strangers immediately warmed up to her. We returned to a clean house and well cared for dog. I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.

Linda is a great sitter. She is truly dedicated. Linda provided very detailed updates, lots of pics, and ensured our dog was top priority. She followed the schedule we left and as requested kept our dog active and on plenty of walks. I highly recommend Linda. She is very detailed, loves dog sitting and truly cares, and has a huge heart for our little furry family members. Thank you Linda!!

Linda is my daughter. Her devotion to my maltipoos is at the same level as my own. In fact, Linda took care of these dogs for about 8 months on her own when I was unable to have pets at a place who didn’t allow pets. I gave her the money to take care of them and she took care of them as if they were her own. Later, Linda came to live with me for 2 years in FL while finishing her 4 yr college degree. During this time, she once again took as much care of them as I did. About 2 months ago, we had an unexpected death of a close family member and my dogs had to come on the trip. One of my dogs had a life and death emergency in the middle of the night. We were staying in a cabin in the Smoky Mountains and had to drive 40 min on winding, dark roads to get Missy to an emergency vet. I wrapped Missy up in a towel and Linda drove us around those mountainous roads to get Missy safely there. Linda has always been very observant, loving and responsible with my dogs. It is evident that they love and trust her as much as they do me! I would highly recommend my daughter as a dog sitter!

Schedule

I’m currently unemployed at this moment while I’m actively looking for a full time job opportunity. I'm also taking care of my mom's 2 senior dogs on Wed-Fri every week until end of May 2025. With that said, I can help out on Monday and Tuesday (every week if needed), and possible some weekends. I can provide doggy day care in your home while you’re away at work or on errands. I can check on them for a quick visit if needed.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Linda can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I would like to have a list written down of their routine such as how many meals per day, how much foods per feed, what are their keywords when it’s time for bed time (ex: “bed time”), go outside (“go potty, go pee, etc”), and so. If they’re currently taking medications, please include on the list. Please include their primary vet information and your choice of emergency vet as back up. Thanks!
