Highlights
Pet care experience
Highly Experienced Petsitter
I have decades of experience caring for all kinds of pets, including my own, helping friends and professional petsitting. I've always really loved animals and grew up volunteering at shelters and clinics. That resulted in me adopting many pets throughout my life, including 3 dogs, a cat, a rabbit, a duck, 2 parakeets, 2 gerbils and approximately 28 hamsters (oops). Currently I don't have any pets of my own but really miss having animal companions. I would love to help care for yours while you're away! I work remotely part-time and only do housesits (no drop ins) so I would be able to spend dedicated time with your pets at your home. My schedule is generally flexible so I can accommodate special requests along with your communication preferences. I understand the importance of routines and will strive to maintain your pets' regular schedules. Your house and any plants will also be cared for - I highly prioritize cleanliness and have always been very tidy and organized. I will treat your pets and home with great care as if they were my own! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will live in your home for the duration of the sit and ensure your pet(s) are well cared for with their regular routines and schedules. Since I'm a remote worker, I can provide a lot of presence, attention and care for your pet(s). I’m generally very organized and will be glad to update you with daily info and photos. My primary vehicle is a small sprinter campervan (pictured in my profile). It is less than 20 feet long, fits in one regular parking spot, and does not require any utilities from the house. Off-street parking would be preferred.
Ratings and reviews
Linda was a fantastic sitter, we appreciated her excellent communication and perfect follow through, with all the complications of our trip it was so nice knowing that our pups and home were cared for so well. Linda was above and beyond and will be our go to for all future plans. Thank you Linda!
Linda is OUTSTANDING. I was away for about two weeks and I never had a worry about my two cats in her care. One of my cats, Holly, is very shy and skittish and she warmed up to Linda quickly and they became best buddies. The other cat, Cilas, is a Bengal and takes more work deciphering what he wants and Linda did a great job of figuring him out. Both cats were well cared for and the home as well. My home was just as I left it clean and tidy. I totally recommend Linda for sitting with your pets. She is totally responsible and so caring. I would love to have her back again.
Linda's a terrific pet sitter. We have three cats and backyard chickens. She has always been great about taking care of them, and our house when we go travel. Everything is in great shape when we return. Very reliable, responsible, friendly. Highly recommend Linda as a house sitter and pet sitter.
Linda was a fabulous dog and house sitter for our family! Linda was very timely with her communication, both leading up to and during her stay. Linda took excellent care of our 2 Labrador retrievers and sent regular photos to us while we were traveling - they were alway so happy! And Linda took excellent care of our home - leaving it cleaner than we left it! We really enjoyed speaking with Linda; she is truly a wonderful person and she has a sincere love for animals. We highly recommend Linda.

I'm a remote worker with a flexible part-time schedule. I only offer housesitting (no drop ins) so your pet(s) will be my only petsitting focus. I am available all days of the week for overnight care. However, please note if your pet(s) require constant care and cannot be left alone for at least 3-4 hours (i.e. an occasional shopping trip or dinner out) - I likely can accommodate but please let me know, and I can offer a constant care daily or hourly rate.
