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.

About Linda J.
Communication
Skills
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? Veterinary Info: The name and location of your preferred primary veterinarian, along with emergency contact details. (Just in case)
A typical day
Every dog gets to settle into their own comfortable routine here. We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, plenty of attention, and lots of opportunities to relax. My fenced yard gives pups a safe place to stretch their legs and explore, and dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed if that’s what they’re used to at home. I also love the quiet moments—belly rubs, cuddles, and simply hanging out together. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own while you’re away. 🐾❤️

YOUR PET’S NEW FAVORITE PERSON 🐾❤️
Pet care experience
I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I’m a dependable, caring, patient person who genuinely loves spending time with animals—and I treat every pet in my care like my own. I’m especially attentive to the little things that make each pet comfortable, from keeping their normal routine to giving them plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. My home is a quiet, non-smoking house with a fully fenced yard, and because I have no pets of my own, your dog gets my undivided attention. Whether your pup is playful, energetic, shy, older, or simply loves a good belly rub, I’ll take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. Most importantly, I want you to enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and being genuinely loved. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️
