Highlights
Pet care experience
MY PETS HAVE BEEN MY BEST MATE!
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!

Ratings and 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.
Linda was lovely and made me feel at ease leaving our lively puppy for the first time. I immediately felt comfortable with her and her daughters, they obviously have a passion for dogs. Her home and grounds are a fabulous destination for any dog. She provided very good updates with pictures and videos throughout our dogs stay. I would highly recommend her.
Would totally recommend. Large peaceful space and woods by the river. Linda sent messages and videos showing how Beau was getting on which reassured me. Asked lots of questions about Beau. Beau was totally happy and chilled when I picked her up.

Schedule
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!

Home characteristics
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.
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.
