Pet care experience

A stay with us is a happy stay .

I was raised on a ranch with all kinds of pets. I can't recall life without dogs we are so fortunate to have them in our lives they are unconditional in the love and affection they give . I was in dog rescue for 21 years as a foster. I had 7 dogs all were what was considered not able to be put in a home do to behavior issues the only option for these dogs was to be euthanized so I kept the rejects and had to stop rescue as to the inn was full and I still dog sat for the dogs that had been at my home until a new home was found . I have extensive experience with all types of dogs . I have a cat who pretends dogs do not exist so she just stays away, my cat was a ferel rescue cat and is now a fat and sassy house cat . I have a large home so have part of it sectioned off where her litter box and food are to keep dogs out of both . If I house sit I have experience with farm animals for feeding. I garden so watering is in my range.

Linda was very sweet and I can tell our girl was in good hands. Hopefully Aubry wasn’t too much of a menace! Will definitely bring her over again if we are ever in the area again! Thanks again 🐾🐾

Linda was ready to take care of our pups when we arrived. She has tons of experience with many dogs and we felt at peace leaving our two there for the day while we went to see the Sequoias. If we come back to the area and need a sitter again we will certainly contact Linda!

Thanks to Linda M. I was able to have my medical procedure as I had scheduled. It was last minute notice for Linda but she was gracious to do doggie care for me. I recouped much quicker than I had thought. I was able to get Nico by Thurs early evening. So miss my little boy ! Second night will be a tip for Linda. No refund needed. She was a GREAT help in my time of need. God Bless You, Linda. Thank you Rover.

Tallulah is out cold as we speak. She must have had a great time. Linda was so welcoming. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable about leaving Tallulah! A wonderful space for dogs, too. We will be back on the regular.

All I can say is….. Linda runs a 1st class boarding facility. My original sitter couldn’t watch my dog Teddy and with less than a day to find the right person I found a needle in a haystack. She had no problem with the short notice and took really great care of my girl Teddy. All the dogs get a lot of play time and socialization together. I’m sooooo happy that she was available. I definitely will be reaching out to her again when I need someone to watch Teddy. Thanks so much Linda you are awesome and Teddy had a blast

Schedule

I'm home 80% of the time so I'm available. I may run a errand but that's about it . If weather permits and you have a road dog car rides with me are perfect. I spend a lot of my time cooking and blogging I cook for seniors in my community. If I'm gardening outside the dogs are welcome to be with me.
