Before I spend time with your dog, I'll inquire about any specific requirements or behavioral traits. This helps me guarantee a responsible, safe, and enjoyable experience during the pet care service you've requested.

A typical day

I'm more than willing to tailor the activities for the dogs I'm caring for based on your preferences as well as your fur baby's. This includes taking leisurely strolls around your neighborhood, exploring nearby scenic trails or parks, and engaging in enjoyable games that suit your furry companion's energy level and interests. Rest assured, I'll provide them with plenty of love and undivided attention during our time together.

Responsible and loving pet care!

Pet care experience

I have an immense passion for dogs! Throughout my life, I've lovingly cared for both my own furry companions and the pets of friends and family. When entrusted with your precious furry friends, I extend to them the same tender, loving care (TLC) as if they were my own. I'm exceptionally patient and committed to accommodating the individual needs of your beloved pets.

This was our first time using Rover for our sweet, anxious dood and Linda set the bar real high! Her calming energy allowed Woodford to warm up quickly and have the best day! We were staycationing and brought our twin girls to Legoland. Linda sent us photos and updates throughout the day, which made me feel confident he was in good hands and I was able to focus on the girls without worrying about him. She took him on a couple long walks and let him play with every toy in the toy box. You could tell how intentional Linda was with spending quality time with Woodford and we were so grateful. We would absolutely leave Woodford with her again!

Linda was excellent to work with. She took great care of our pup - even took him for a 3 mile walk!

Linda was so good to our nervous senior pup. Lots of updates and slow walks and we felt like Norah was in great hands while we were away.
