Because I am an empty nester and pet sitting is my full-time focus, your fur baby will have my absolute, undivided attention. My schedule is exceptionally flexible and open, meaning my entire daily and weekly routine revolves completely around the pets in my care.I am home throughout the day, allowing me to maintain your pet's exact feeding, bathroom, and medication schedules without interruption. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, midday companionship, or an extra-long afternoon walk, I am fully available to provide it. Because I don't work an outside job, your pet will never be left alone for long stretches, giving you total peace of mind that they are safe, loved, and constantly supervised.

About Linda J.
Safety, trust & environment
I am home full-time, so pets are under constant supervision and are never left unattended. I have a spacious backyard with grassy areas for potty breaks, playtime, or just to relax in fresh air, all surrounded by a privacy fence with secure locks at points of entry. This is a non-smoking home. No candles or harmful cleaning chemicals are EVER used when pets are in my care and I always make sure their food/water stays clean and fresh. Pets are always safely leashed for neighborhood walks. I also have a fully finished basement that is perfect to provide plenty of extra space. If I am visiting the pet-owners home, I promise to treat your home with the utmost respect, and will double-check that all doors are securely locked every time I exit your property and all other guidelines given are followed. I will always provide regular photo, video, and text updates throughout the day, so you always know exactly how your baby is doing. Ultimately, I care for every pet with the same deep love that I gave my own best buddy.

Information Linda J. would like to know about your pet
To provide the safest and most comfortable experience, there are a few important details I like to know about your pet ahead of time: Any current health conditions, food allergies, specific medication schedules, or dietary restrictions. How is your pets temperament? Are they anxious? Friendly? Good with kids? Other dogs? Do they like being picked up or held? Are they scared of loud noises? Thunder? Veterinary Info: The name and location of your preferred primary veterinarian, along with emergency contact details. (Just in case)
A typical day
I love going on walks, so long neighborhood strolls are always guaranteed! Rest is important too, so I will always make sure to allow time for some R&R. Physical stimulation is always a must, but so is mental stimulation, so playing little games like finding hidden treats or using a lick mat/treat puzzle will be utilized. And of course, when your pet is in my care, they will always receive an abundance of belly rubs and ear scratches.

Devoted love & endless cuddles!
Pet care experience
What truly sets me apart is my deep empathy and understanding of a dog's emotional needs. Having loved and cared for my own Pomeranian, Cujo, for 10 beautiful years, I am highly experienced in the gentle, attentive world of all kinds of pet care. I know how to spot subtle changes in comfort, maintain daily routines with patience, and provide the soothing environment that older, younger, or anxious pets need. I love not only watching pets, but bonding with them. Because I understand the profound heartbreak of leaving a beloved family member behind, I dedicate myself to giving your baby total, undivided companionship. Whether they need a patient listener, late-night comfort, or just someone to sit nearby and keep them safe, they will receive the same devoted, soul-deep love I gave my own best buddy.
Reviews
If there is anyone in this world that loves dogs and caring for them in every way it’s Linda. She not only has owned and cared for dogs her whole life, but she truly has a passion for them! I can speak from personal experience in watching her care for them in every way imaginable. Rest assure if you choose her to care for your dog, you’re dog will get the best experience and you will never be disappointed with Linda!
Linda is AMAZING with pets! After watching her care for our animals growing up, she truly is so attentive to all fur babies and is someone I would trust 1000% to take care of my animals. She is super gentle, makes all animals feel comfortable, and has tons of experience caring for all types of breeds. She has such a soft spot for pets and you’ll always be in good hands ❤️
