Linda cared for Sara and Moose for 12 days, and she was exceptional. She was always punctual and did an excellent job confirming times, asking for detailed instructions, and communicating with us daily. She quickly won over Moose’s heart, which is no easy feat! She also had Sara curled up in her lap much of the time. It was especially comforting to us that she let them sleep with her, since that was part of their normal routine. She took great care of Moose’s nose and paws as well. We also really appreciated that she laundered the bedding and sofa blankets before we returned. We would definitely recommend Linda and hope she will be open to sitting for us again!

Linda was awesome! I can’t express enough, how much my doggie Mason and I adore and appreciate her. She asked a lot of questions to learn about Mason’s habits and preferences. She was very caring and patient, and she treated him with the same love and affection as I do. She even gave him special treats, and she gave me great tips about healthy alternatives as well. It was my first time booking with Linda, and I will definitely use her again the next time I travel. Thank you Linda! 😊

Daisy had a great time with Linda. Linda sent me daily photos. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Daisy was well cared for while I was on vacation. I highly recommend Linda!

I was so happy that I found Linda! I had not been taking vacations because I did not have a dog sitter because I was new to Florida. She was so careful and loving with Pippy. Pippy is on medication and she was very good to make sure she got it twice a day. She provided updates on Pippy’s care. I feel so blessed to have Linda and now I can take vacations with a peace of mind!

We had a great experience with Linda. She was incredibly responsive anytime I reached out and clearly very well equipped to care for dogs; her home is stocked with tons of supplies, extra beds, toys, and treats, which made it feel like a comfortable and fun environment for Minnie. As pet parents, it’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your baby behind, and it was reassuring knowing Minnie was in such a prepared and caring space. We appreciated how quick Linda was to reply and how attentive she was throughout the stay. We’re grateful for the care she gave Minnie and would absolutely recommend Linda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

Schedule

I am looking forward to loving your pet as my own. I like to play and snuggle on the couch. Your pet will always be by my side if they wish. I can work on potty training as I have all tile and no harm can be done. Bring their favorite toy and bed if they like to nap alone. My daily routine can change as you may need.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure they have their food as scheduled and plenty of fresh filtered water. We go potty as needed and also if the pavement is too hot for my bare feet it is too hot for them. There is plenty of grass in a large quiet neighborhood of villas.
