Boarding • May 11, 2026

It was our first time using rover.com. Our dog is a 5-year-old Lab, which comes with energy, shedding hair, a little neediness, and some periodic drool. When we read Linda's bio that they once owned a Lab as well, we figured she would be a good fit for our dog. And boy, did we hit the jackpot! She and her hubby loved on our dog like he was their very own - snuggled with him, kept him well-fed, enjoyed his playfulness, took him for walks, and even sent us photos on how he was doing while were were away. We were so relieved to leave him with such trusting, caring people which made our trip that much more enjoyable!

I would give Linda 10 stars if I could. You can tell she and her husband are true dog lovers. This is Peppers second stay there and she ran right into their house and was actually excited to be back. Pepper gets daily walks and snuggles in the couch and I get pictures and updates daily. Don’t hesitate to trust Linda with your beloved pets!

Linda provides compassionate care with careful attention to detail. She is responsive, timely, and thorough. Linda made our dog feel comfortable, playing with her and maintaining our pet’s routine. I had peace of mind from Linda’s comprehensive, thoughtful communication and multiple in action photos! We will have Linda again, and we highly recommend!

Linda was incredible! She was so kind and easy to talk to. Her home was warm and inviting, she sent me daily photos and updates of our dog, Max. He truly loved his stay and we knew he was truly cared for! Thank you, Linda!!

Schedule

I have a lovely setting for boarding your dog or cat. I live in a wooded area with large lots and long meandering roads for walks that are away from busy roads. I am home full time since I retired and love to walk, so your dog will get lots of exercise staying with me. I usually only take one dog at a time, however if you have 2 pets from the same household, I would take both. I would also take 2 dogs, each from different households, if both pet parents agree.

Safety, trust & environment

I will give full attention to your pet during boarding, doggy day care, drop in visits, and walks. I will love and play with them and follow any specific instructions for pet care you have. I will communicate with pet updates during our visits and send you pictures of your pets daily activities.
