This was the first time we had to leave our dog with someone other than family for an extended period while on vacation and we were nervous leaving him with a stranger, especially since he is an older dog with mild health issues. From the moment we met Linda she put our mind at ease and gave us the feeling she would do everything she could to make sure Leroy would be taken good care of while we were gone. She was very conscientious of trying to maintain his schedule to make sure he was comfortable and provided periodic updates to ease our minds. Linda left our house extremely neat and tidy, which was very much appreciated after a long day of traveling. We would absolutely ask Linda to watch our dog again!
