Pet care experience

Dogs are the best and enjoy pet sit

Will provide tender, loving care for your pet. Safe environment-live in East Asheville in the Haw Creek neighborhood on 3 acres with small fenced area. N I have a 3 year old rescue named Lucy. I'm retired and can give your dog the attention it needs. No children and no other pets. Have been pet sitting for over 30 years but more involved for the last 8 years. Have great local references if you need them. I'm available most anytime unless I'm traveling out of town. Prefer small to medium dogs as it's easier for me to manage them when walking. Will consider a larger dog if well trained. Will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Linda is friendly and knowledgeable. She has a beautiful home and a nice sized fenced in back yard. Missy enjoyed her stay and we will definitely have her stay with Linda again next time we need a care giver for her.

Linda is great with pets. She has had her own dogs who have died of old age and broken her heart when they died. She is very sensitive, caring, and loving to dogs and pets. She is a great companion walking dogs and just enjoying their company. She was always loving and caring to my dog when we were together. She is very dedicated to their care and responsible. She has dog sat where she has lived in Asheville and even did a long term dog sit in Mexico for some one's two dogs for almost 2 months.. She's also had the ongoing care of someone's dog in her home when they needed to regularly leave their dog with her while they went out of town on business trips. If my dog were still alive, I would have great confidence in leaving my dog in her care while I was away at her home or my home.

I've known Linda since 2009 and she has had a dog most of that time. She has also cared for friend's dogs a couple of times for extended periods that I know of. She is very gentle and compassionate with dogs that she has owned and I would trust her to care for my dog if I still lived in the same area as she does. I think she will be good at boarding the dogs of Rover clients as she already has experience operating her own business (rental homes) and knows how to listen to client's requests and care for their needs.
