Safety, trust & environment

I believe that social interaction and enrichment are important and will spend regular playtime with your pet. I also put a premium on safety and will keep your pet secure. If staying at my home, there is plenty of space both inside and out to provide ample room for your pet to play, rest and sleep. I have a huge, safe fenced yard (1/2 ACRE!) where they can get plenty of exercise and run to their heart's content. If I am dropping in to take care of your pet in your home, I will adhere closely to your schedule and play with them in your house or yard if you like. In addition to regular care, I will follow any specific feeding or medication instructions that your pet requires and will provide daily updates to you in regard to your pet's well-being and any notable behaviors or issues. Your pet becomes a member of my family, and will be treated with love and affection as if they were my own.

Information Linda J. would like to know about your pet

I'm very flexible and happy to accommodate any special needs that your pet may have. Please outline those ahead of time so I can make sure I thoroughly understand the requirements.

A typical day

Playtime, Walks, Cuddles (if they like them!) We can run & play in my yard or yours. Our yard is great for larger dogs as well since it is 1/2 acre and fenced. You will see the yard in some of my profile pictures. If dropping in at your home, I will feed them and take them ousidet for a break. I'm also happy to play with them and love on them during the drop-in. Pets receive lots of attention, hugging and snuggles!

Let Me Love Your Fur Babies

Pet care experience

I am new to Rover - Reach out for a Meet & Greet! I've recently had to say good-bye to my dog, Coconut who you will see some of my pictures. I miss him so much and can't wait to have some other dogs to love on! I have a genuine love for pets and animals of all kinds and can't imagine life without them. I provide personalized, one-on-one care for each pet, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and exercise they need.
