Farm & pet care in Brandywine

I have worked in professional pet care (dog walking/pet sitting) since 2012, veterinary medicine since 2015, and started Rover in 2017 - 10+ years working as a vet tech/assistant (GP, shelter, ER) - 7+ years working with a local, professional pet sitting company until they went out of business - Fear Free certified in vet care - Can give many kinds of medications: pills, eye meds, ear meds, topicals, special diet, insulin, other sub-q injections, and sub-q fluids (with vet dosing/rx). I have experience working with paralyzed pets who may need bladder/bowel expression, or use a wheelchair. - I have no problem working with dogs who are dog aggressive, have anxiety or behavior issues, health issues, or need to work on leash training :) - I am open to and have experience with various tools, training, and walking methods: ~ positive reinforcement, easy walk harness, gentle leaders, martingales. ~ Prong, choke/slip, and e-collars ***I will only do what works best for your dog and what you are comfortable with!*** - Can work on leash manners and basic training - Experience with special needs and senior animals - Experience caring for dogs, cats, rats/hamsters/gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish, birds, chickens/ducks, goats, pigs, horses, and large/farm animals - I do not do group walks with other client dogs. Your dog will get individual attention. I do not go to dog parks, unless requested & approved by owner

Your dog will always be on leash or in your fenced yard. I do not do pack walks with dogs from other homes. I am always careful when opening/closing doors/gates/garages.

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!

Linda was great with my 11 lbs Silky Terrier. She walked my dog, fed him and spent some time with him after the walk. Could not have asked for more.

First time anyone has watched Chloe overnight besides my parents and Chloe is 11.5! Linda made me feel at ease and kept me updated on how Chloe was doing! Linda made sure Chloe got all her medicine. Highly recommend Linda
