Pet care experience
Red Carpet ALL the WAY!
Hello! I am Linda and I have been a Rover sitter for 9 years! My family and I love animals, and I mean love! I am so glad that my children have had the privilege of having dogs and cats as companions as they have grown up. Besides caring for my own pup, I enjoy volunteering to teach an art class every other week for a couple of hours. This in no way keeps me from home longer than an hour or two at a time. When I am home you can find me wherever Golden Retriever is! Indy is our dog camp Ambassador! We will happily welcome your dog into our pack. I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. My home will be your dog’s home away from home and he will be begging to come for a second visit! My half-acre yard is a slice of puppy paradise, perfect for running around and playing fetch. Having undergone advanced screening. I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. My dog-sitting services are just a bark away! Why I love dog sitting We just love animals, especially dogs. We are the "go to" house for our friends when they go out of town and need a place to leave their dogs. In fact, they call us the "dog camp!" Meet my pets In addition to Indy, I have a very dog-friendly Persian cat named Lola and Delilah, a not-so-dog-friendly tabby cat! About my yard I have a nice fully fenced-in half-acre yard, perfect for soaking up some sunshine and spending a long afternoon playing endless games of tug o' war. I’m the summer we enjoy playing ball with the dogs in the pool! My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication when given specific instructions. I’m retired so I’m home most every day. I’m with the dogs in my care practically 25/7. It really matters to me that your pet has lots of love and attention while they’re here. I have a fenced yard and I padlock all the gates to the yard so your fur baby will be safe and unable to break free!

Ratings and reviews
My 3 dogs had an amazing time and were well taken care of
Milo had the best time ever staying with Linda! From the moment we dropped him off, he felt completely at home. Linda welcomed him with open arms, and it was clear right away that she truly loves and understands dogs. She provided exceptional care, keeping us updated with adorable photos and little notes about his day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Milo got plenty of playtime, snuggles, and even made some new furry friends while he was there. He especially loved running around the yard and lounging in the sun—he came home happy, tired (in the best way!), and totally relaxed. Linda & husband goes above and beyond—her home is clean, safe, and filled with warmth. You can tell she treats every dog like family. We are so grateful to have found her, and Milo can’t wait for his next stay. Highly recommend!
Linda and Mark were wonderful! They took great care of my Onyx during a holiday weekend and made sure he was fed and had lots of fun with the other dogs! Their backyard is wonderful, the perfect place for pups to play!
Linda and Mark took great care of our dog on Thanksgiving and were very easy to work with. Thank you both!

Schedule
I am retired and home all the time! An occasional doctor’s appointment, or trip to the grocery is all that takes me away from home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced half-acre back yard with a pool. The dogs have the run of the yard and can swim if they choose to. In the summer my husband gives dogs who show interest swimming lessons! We’ve given several dogs new confidence in the water! We also like to do wood projects in the back yard, so there’s almost always someone out in the yard with the dogs. When it’s nap or bed time, they can curl up on beds in our room for a snooze.

A typical day
I go out to the yard every day to throw the ball or play tug with the dogs in my care. I am sure we will have tail-wagging canine play-dates lined up for the week too. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he feels most comfortable, whether he prefers curling up in a perfect ball on his own bed or snuggling in bed with me. Time I'll spend with your dog Being home FULL TIME I can devote a lot of attention to your beloved pup. I also have two adult sons who will gladly administer belly rubs! And my husband loves all the dogs!
