Highlights
Pet care experience
Metrowest Dog Walkers and Sitters
I have been walking dogs and pet sitting in the Metrowest now for about two years. Prior to that , I raised two large, mixed-breed dogs in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I have stellar references from many happy customers. I also enjoy photographing your pet and providing you with these pictures at no cost. As a former teacher, I am loving, patient and kind and utilize my teaching skills to help me communicate with animals as well as support basic training goals.

Linda also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Pet Sitting in the pet’s home provides animals with the comfort and security of following their daily routine and remaining in a secure and familiar environment, thus alleviating any anxiety they might suffer from your absence.
Ratings and reviews
Linda was absolutely terrific! She stayed in my home with my anxious pup, followed all of my instructions, and left the house immaculate (including washing the sheets and towels). She took Bruce out for plenty of exercise, sent cute pictures, and was always responsive by text. I’ll definitely book her again.
I can’t say enough good about Linda as our Dog Walker and sitter! She is loyal, prompt, involved, loving, as evidence by our dogs love for her! She makes every walk a fun adventure by bringing treats and water. Linda makes sure if they need a little clean up after a rainy walk that they get spruced up before entering the house. It’s never easy, leaving our dog at home for a weekend or any time away but Linda always spends lots of fun messages and pictures.She loves our babies like she were her own! Oh, Forgot to mention that when we return home our home looks exactly how we left it!! Linda is awesome!❤️
I trust Linda implicitly in taking fantastic care of my pets as well as my home! I highly recommend her for your pets and your home!
Linda is the best! She has taken care of our mini daschund, Rosie, many times. Rosie absolutely loves her and is so excited when she sees her. It’s clear Linda gives her lots of attention and loving care. Linda is also wonderful about communicating with us, sending us updates and photos when she’s with Rosie. We always feel completely comfortable leaving our girl with her.

Schedule
The pet sitting fee covers a 24 hour period of which I am totally committed to your “baby.” I may leave the home for an hour or two to do one other dog walk, or pick up some groceries, but I would not be away from your dog for more than three hours max, or less as determined by a discussion with pet parents. If your dog needs less time, opening up my availability to add additional walks, I would consider lowering the fee. This would be determined on a case by case basis and after a discussion with the dog parents.
