Pet care experience

Pets, Plants, AND Home Care!

Along with taking great care of your fur babies, of course I'll water your plants, too, and even strip the bed before I go. Let's face it, the last thing you want to come home to is an anxious pet, wilted plants, and a messy place! Because I offer comprehensive services that have earned me great reviews, I get more requests than I can handle. Consequently, I only accept engagements with new clients who have two or more pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I know it's not easy entrusting your fur babies (and your home!) to someone. That's why I make sure to find out everything you need me to do for your pets, your plants, and your place. Then I take great care to follow all your instructions so everyone and everything is good when you get home. I'll also send as many texts and photos as you'd like, each day, to put your mind at ease. Please note that I am a non-smoker, and I only accept engagements in non-smoking homes.

As always, Linda is just the best! Our dog Penny can get pretty nervous when she is away from us but Linda's place is like a second home to her now. She is well loved and it shows in how excited she is to see Linda and her roommate. Can't say enough great things about her-communication is top notch, she is flexible, just everything we could ask for in a pet sitter.

We adore Linda, and our pets do, too. She's conscientious and thorough and left our house better than she found it! She cares for plants, packages, and mail, too. I know when Linda is housesitting we are in the best hands. She's dependable, communicative, kind, thoughtful, and sends regular updates about our quirky pets. We have a very senior dog, and Linda is sensitive to her needs and neuroses. Linda is our go-to pet care giver, and we will rebook for sure!

LINDA WAS AMAZING. She took great care of my pup! She went extra miles many times while we were away including: noticing my dog was ill, cooking special food for her, taking her to the vet, managing her new drug regimen, cleaning up house stains from her accidents, doing laundry for stains as well. She also kept me well informed while I was so worried and far away. HIGHLY recommend hiring Linda😊

Linda is the best! I know my anxious, quirky dog is going to be well looked after and she sends me daily photos of my dog that I love!

Linda is great! She’s attentive, and caring. She cared for my senior westie, checked in regularly while I was away. Was clean and careful. I will hire her again. She also was flexible with my plans which was really kind.

Linda was great! I would highly recommend her for your pet/house sitting needs. The dogs were very happy with her. She followed all my instructions for their daily routines, medicine, walks. She was wonderfully communicative every day with photos and recaps of the daily events. I knew my fur babies were well taken care of and was able to enjoy my vacation worry free.

I'm an author, and a morning person who loves to take walks. So I'm available to provide care and companionship to your pet(s) 24/7 and would love to have your fur baby(s) along with me on my walks, as often as they would like or need to go.

16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Linda can host up to 1 pet per night
I look forward to learning all about your dog's or cat's needs and preferences. Are they scared of thunder storms? How do they feel about going out in the rain? What's their usual reaction to other dogs we'll meet on our walk--and squirrels?! And anything else you can share to help me give your pet(s) a great experience while you're away.
