Pet care experience

Feed,walk,play-makes your pets day!

From Aussies to Yorkies, cats and horses, I've owned many wonderful family pets. We've shared love, play, training and nature together. Since childhood, dogs have been in my life and the bond to all dogs is very strong. Currently, I have three Yorkshire Terriers and care for my daughters energetic Morkie as well. For friends, I've cared for many dogs: playful muts, purebred family and hunting dogs and loveable small cuddlers. Neighbors rely on me for pet care so they can have family trips out of town. My out of town friends know I'm on call anytime since I'm retired and readily available. I've read many dog care/training books, trained one Aussie to a blue ribbon in obedience and of course, watch the Westminster and other shows every year. If you want someone who understands and loves your dog , I'm the Rover for you. As an update, since starting my Rover hobby, I've also cared for many wonderful cats and darling kittens. I've cared for older cats who need medical care and played with the younger active ones. Your cats litter box stays clean and sanitary and all feeding instructions are attended to. My many past cats (Stormy, Ningy, Peace and Peaches) would give me a big paws up. I am very happy to take care of your precious pets in the same way.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For now, I am only caring for pets in their home. Most clients leave me detailed instructions on feeding, water and favorite play activities. If its not a walking visit (which includes walking, sniffing and some rolling around) then I react to the pets signal for interaction. Most love to follow me around the house and yard, toss toys and play hide n treat. If there is a brush around I give them a little grooming too.

Schedule

I am retired and pet "Rovering" is my only away from home activity. Taking care of my own pets and home fills up the rest of the day. I can be fairly spontaneous, but don't do very early a.m. or late p.m.. Being centrally located in downtown Bozeman I can get to most bookings pretty quickly. Just check with me and we'll work it out.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Linda can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It's important to know about the pets general health so that I know what activities are appropriate. How does the pet like to play? What are their favorite toys and games? Where are their favorite areas to walk to and sniff around? How about any special treats that can be given for good behavior? YUM. It's all about the pet feeling safe, secure and happy while his family is away!
