Dogs are my favorite people

Pet care experience

My husband & I have had dogs since we met over 30 yrs ago. We love the outdoors and always include our dogs. I am an avid walker and love the companionship of a dog by my side. I walk, run or hike daily, typically in the morning. I have some flexibility in my work schedule (I work with children who have experienced severe trauma); my husband (police officer) does also and is available to help; we have a large yard in a culdesac and 2 acres of woods-no car traffic. Our 3 kids are grown so we have ample time and space in our home. I would require a meet and greet with your pet prior to caring for it to ensure compatibility and safety

I have know Linda Long for many years; working with her in mental health services; working with emotionally disturbed children. She is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. She and I both share a deep love for animals. She lost her 11 yr. old Golden Retriever, Charlie just yesterday and is having a difficult time. Charlie would go with her everywhere; running every morning, hiking, out for ice cream, etc. Linda has a heart for every living creature. She would be wonderful for this type of work. I highly recommend her.

I've used Linda to watch my two pups - Harley (8) and Rigo (2) several times. While I know she does dog walking, I tend to use her for overnight stays when I'm out of town or even at times when I'm having work done around the house, like painting, so that the pups don't get into something they shouldn't. Linda is trustworthy, energetic and has my pups best interest at heart at all times. She's so funny, she even sends me videos of what they're doing when I'm away. They sleep great at her home because they are so pooped after running around in the yard and going on walks. When I tell my pups that they are going to Linda's they are excited and jump into the car to go. It's a nice feeling to know that my pups are well taken care of when they are not with me. We think so highly of Linda we consider her to be part of our family.

Linda has had at least one dog pretty much as long as I've known her, and it's hard to think of someone more well-suited for high-energy pets. She goes on runs every morning and loves walking through the woods, especially if she has a furry friend to join her. For dogs that especially love fetch, frisbee, swimming, or other games, she will give them all the exercise and attention they can ask for. She is also great with older and lower-energy dogs, giving them their fair share of belly rubs and snuggle time. Rest assured that Linda will do everything in her power to make your dog comfortable and happy while you are away.

Linda is a great dog owner who loves spending time with pups. She wakes up at 5AM every morning to walk/run her dog and I'm sure she would do the same for yours. Whether you need your dogs to get some exercise or just to be watched over a weekend, I highly recommend Linda to spend some quality time with your pups.

Information Linda L. would like to know about your pet

I have raised Labs all my life in addition to a beagle. I lean toward family dogs that are friendly in public.

A typical day

I live in a quiet neighborhood and own 3 acres. We wander in the woods behind our home or a local greenway nearby. I love to hike so Bakers Mountain and South Mountain State Park are favorite.
