I am currently a semi retired homemaker with family caregiving responsibilities. While this prevents me from having a traditional 9 to 5 office job, it provides a great opportunity for me to help other pet friendly families when they cannot be at home all day. I welcome the opportunity to help you. I am a vegan, thyroid cancer survivor.

Pet care experience

Since I was 14 years old, I have had animals in my life. It began with rescuing a runaway dog, and continued with four more rescues throughout my life. All my pets have been members of the family and lived long, healthy and active lives.

It's my absolute pleasure to recommend Linda as a caregiver for your pet. Linda has watched, checked on, fed, and cared for my two cat fur babies on many occasions in the past few years. She is completely trustworthy, and you will be lucky to have her help you out.

Linda has had dogs in her life since she was a child. Linda approaches the well being of a dog like she does being a mom, with an eye for comfort, safety, and fun. She has looked after my dog on occasions when I have asked her to pop by for an afternoon visit when I had a long work night. She sat with my dog, played with her, and sent pictures of my dog playing in the yard. She walks her own dog multiple times daily and approaches each trip through the neighborhood as a "new walk", encouraging curiosity in her dog while maintaining her own eye for her dog's safety. I hope you and your dog enjoy getting to know Linda!

Linda checked in on our two cats - Dine & Enzo - while on vacation and they loved her! She spent time playing with them and sent us pictures every visit. She also made sure our outside potted plants were kept nice and hydrated. I definitely recommend Linda for your pet sitting needs!

I have had Linda care for my two cats several times and completely trust her with them. She is attentive, responsible, and genuinely likes caring for animals of any type. You can tell by her demeanor that she loves animals. She paid attention to details and kept me informed of how Max and Molly were doing while I was gone. She sent pictures and texts so I felt connected with them and felt comfortable about their care. She was respectful of my apartment and belongings. She also kept my plants alive! Knowing my family was in excellent hands, I could relax on my vacations and trips. I would hire her anytime and trust her with my family.
