Pet care experience

Love, Patience, Care ❤️

I’ve always loved caring for animals and have spent the past few years getting lots of hands-on experience with all kinds of furry personalities. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup and figuring out what makes them happy! 🥰 One of my favorite things is helping pups who are a little nervous or take some time to warm up. I never rush them—I give them space, patience, treats, toys, and plenty of gentle attention until they feel comfortable. 🧸🐾 Whether your pup wants to play, cuddle on the couch, or simply hang out nearby, I’m happy to let them be themselves. Every pup is different, and I love that! My goal is simple: for your pup to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while they’re with us. ❤️ I can’t wait to spoil your furry family member with lots of love, playtime, cuddles, and probably a toy or two! 🐶✨

Linda was very communicative and Lucky was very taken care off. We are happy having her as our pet sitter for over 2 weeks!

Linda was incredibly sweet to my boy and was a great communicator. She sent pictures and videos often and I could tell he was well cared for.

Linda was great with Sig. She kept me updater while he was in her care with pics and texts. Communication was great before, during and after.

Schedule

I’m currently accepting new furry friends! 🐾☀️ Now that I’m back to work as a Pre-K assistant teacher, my schedule is a little more structured, but I still have plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I work Monday–Friday from 7:30 AM–4:00 PM, but I’m fortunate to live only about 5 minutes from work, which allows me to come home during my break. (I’m typically home between 12:00 PM–1:15 PM for potty breaks, fresh water, food refills, playtime, and some extra love and attention! 🥰) And no worries about your pets being left alone while I’m at work! 🐶🐱💕 I live with my parents, and they are home 24/7 and help me care for our furry guests while I’m at work. We even have some pups who love to sleep in, so they’ll sometimes happily curl up and cuddle in my parents’ room in the mornings 😂🐾 Outside of my work hours, I’m home ALL THE TIME! 🏡 That means your pets get plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and love throughout the day. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and right at home. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, comfortable, and spoiled while you’re away! 🥰🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup won’t just be staying with a sitter—they’ll be welcomed into our family! ❤️ We are a family of 6, and each one of us loves having furry guests around. Your pup will receive lots of love, attention, cuddles, and companionship from all of us throughout their stay. 🐾 Never alone or unsupervised There is always someone around to keep an eye on our furry guests. Even while I’m at work, my parents are home and help with potty breaks, supervision, and keeping them company. ❤️ We understand it can be hard to be away from home Some pups adjust right away, while others may need a little more time—especially those with anxiety or who are nervous in new environments. We never rush them or expect them to act a certain way. No pup is “too much” for us. Every dog is different, just like children, and we treat them that way. 🏡 Their routine matters Before their stay, I like to learn about their normal routine, personality, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. This makes the transition easier and helps them settle in at their own pace. After losing our own beloved pups, we decided not to bring another pup into our family after the heartbreak of loosing them, but we still wanted that love and companionship in our lives—which is why we opened our home to dog sitting. We’ve genuinely grown attached to many of our regular pups and love getting to know each one. 🥹❤️ Over time, caring for different breeds and personalities has taught us that every pup has their own little quirks, needs, and way of showing love. We truly enjoy getting to know them and making them feel like part of the family during their stay. Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first. 🐶💕

A typical day

Every pup is different, so I like to follow their normal routine, personality, and energy level as much as possible! Here’s a general idea of what a stay with me looks like: 🐶 First Day: When your pup first arrives, I like to give them time to explore, sniff around, and get comfortable in our home. Toys are a big part of helping them open up and feel at ease! 🧸 ☀️ Morning: If your pup has a regular morning walk, we’ll usually start with that. Depending on their energy level (and especially during this Texas heat 🥵), some pups prefer a potty break, breakfast, and then a cozy morning nap instead! 🏡 While I’m at Work: I work Monday–Friday, but I’m only about 5 minutes from home and usually come home around 12:00–1:15 PM for a potty break, fresh water, refills, cuddles, and some playtime before heading back. Your pup is also never without someone around while I’m at work. My parents are home 24/7 and are happy to let them outside for potty breaks or keep them company if needed. 💕 🧸 Afternoon: Once I’m home around 4:00 PM, we’ll have another potty break and plenty of indoor playtime. With the summer heat, we do lots of toys, play, cuddles, and relaxing indoors to keep everyone happy and cool! 🌅 Evening: When temperatures cool down, we’ll head outside for some fresh air and playtime, followed by dinner and another potty break. 🌙 Nighttime: For pups who enjoy their walks, late evening is usually our best time for a 30–60 minute walk when it’s cooler. Some pups need more exercise, while others are perfectly happy with playtime and cuddles—it all depends on their personality! 🐾 Most importantly, I follow your pup’s routine and needs rather than forcing every dog into the same schedule. My goal is for them to feel comfortable, loved, exercised, and right at home while they’re staying with us. 🥰🐶
