Any special needs, medication, dog aggression, anxiety? I am open to all breeds and sizes....I've cared for and walked everything from 3 lb chihuahuas, to 150 lb mastiffs :)

A typical day

Whatever your dog enjoys! Whether it’s a long walk, a hike in the woods, a short stroll around the block, or a quick potty break in the yard and lots of snuggles, playtime, and treats.

Linda went above and beyond to take Augie for his first walk. She was very patient with him as he gets to know her.

Linda did great! Both Bubba and Chloe were in great shape when we returned from our vacation and so was the house-everything perfectly in order. Would definitely hire her again in the future.

Hades loves Linda and he is very picky about people. Great communication and care with this silly boy. I feel at peace knowing Linda can handle my big boy. Looking forward to the next walk!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
