Pet care experience

Dog Haven

My life has always been filled with dogs. Started rescuing stray dogs as a child. I always care for my family, friends and neighbor’s dogs when they go on vacation or even if it’s just for a day. I am also a retired nurse, so I am comfortable taking care of dogs with health needs. I have a special place in my heart for animals, but dogs are #1.

Our first time with Linda was a wonderful experience. Our boy Noah loved being with her, and she was excellent to work with. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

From the first day we had Odie stay with Linda, they bonded and he loved her and she loved him. Now we’re moving North and they are going to miss each other. Linda is a caring kind Dog Sitter who can be trusted. She goes the extra mile.

OD is healthy and happy as usual. We really appreciate Lynda giving him a bath so we don’t have to do it right after our trip. She’s the best.

Safety, trust & environment

I do have a secure fenced in back yard. I enjoy being outside, even the Florida heat, so I would absolutely be outside videoing your dog doing his/her zoomies.

A typical day

I have a fairly large backyard that would allow for even large dogs to run and do their zoomies. I also like to play catch and return games when possible. If they enjoy a little splashing time, I can supply a splash pad or kiddy pool during the summer. Just give me a heads up.

In order for me to make sure your fur baby feels safe and comfortable, please include "WORDS" that you use for commands or even what you say to ask them if they want to go outside. Let me know how and when you feed them, are they grazers or eat at certain times of the day? Does your pet come on demand and if not, what tricks do you say or use to coax them back in? Does your pet have any type of allergies or any type of health issues I need to know about? Are there any commands that you are currently working on with your puppy? Let me know and I will try to assist with that. It's Florida and we are currently in our daily rainy season with sometimes lightening, does your pet suffer with anxiety during storms? If yes, please let me know what you do and how you comfort them. Always bring at least a couple of their personal toys, even if it's not an overnight stay. I keep covers on my furniture, so they are welcome to snuggle up next to me, but if this is not allowed at your home, I will need to know that, so this doesn't pose a problem for you when they go back home. For the over-nighters, I have always allowed my fur babies to sleep in the bed, but again, if this is not okay in your home, let me know. If your dog is use to being crated when you have to leave the house, please supply their crate. Their crates will only be used if I need to leave the house or if your dog always sleeps in their crate at night. I want to keep to their normal sleeping routine.
