I’m semi-retired and work from home. We have had pets in the house for years - we are relaxed about beds and furniture and are happy for pets to sleep in the bedrooms either in their bed or on the bed!

About Linda J.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a very large garden and a small woods. I always go out into the garden with any pets I look after. I live on the river so may not be suitable for any dog that’s crazy about water - as soon as they see it they dive in! Dino, my border collie, would only go in if he could see the bottom! Obviously happy to have getting to know you visits beforehand. Before going on walks I do a recall assessment so I can gauge how responsive they are. I trained Dino with lots of positive reinforcement - am happy to use treats too if permitted by owner.

Information Linda J. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog crazy about water? My border collie would only go in if he could see the bottom. We live on the river Thames so if your dog is crazy about water - so as soon as he/she see it they make a dive for it - this venue would not be suitable. Anything else I should know? Are they spooked by anything in particular? My Dino would run a mile if he saw a sail on a sailing boat! Are they very nervous/take a bit of time to settle in new places - if yes, then I would take a more laid back introduction and let them come to me once settled. Also need to know if they have any allergies and any medicine schedule. Am always happy to do a meet and greet here.
A typical day
I live next to a large park and woods and have a large garden to play catch the ball and play tennis and chase in.

MY PETS HAVE BEEN MY BEST MATE!
Pet care experience
I have had pets the last 30 plus years. Until recently I had 2 massive ginger toms, TJ and Boo and a border collie called Dino. Sadly, my last furry friend passed away. I miss them. I plan on getting a dog at some stage but it’s early days so in the meantime my daughter suggested I register with Rover. I’ve always looked after dogs and cats for my friends and neighbours since I was a child. I love animals - my best thing is going for a walk in nature with a furry friend. I even took my cats for walks round our very large garden - well they would follow me!

Reviews
Teddy loved running around in Linda’s big garden, going on walks along the river, and cuddling with Linda. She kept us updated with pictures and videos!
Linda looked after our boy again whilst we were away for 2 weeks. Lots of pictures and updates throughout letting us know all was okay. When your pup looks sad to leave, you know he’s had a wonderful time! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Linda again.
So happy we found Linda. Tess can be a nervous dog but she settled quickly and we were kept updated with regular videos and photos. You can tell Linda is a real dog person and we would have no hesitation in recommending both her and her beautiful home and garden
Our dog Dorris spent a happy 2 weeks in Linda’s care and we will definitely be using her again in the future. A very happy dog on collection.
