Linda is great and Kiko loved her. She was mindful of Kiko's needs and very good at keeping me informed as to how Kiko was doing. It's always hard to a "family" member with someone unfamiliar, but Linda and Kiko are now buddies and I'm sure he wouldn't mind staying with her in the future. I highly recommend!

Linda was amazing. She accepted to watch our dog the night before we needed a rover due to a last minute cancellation of another sitter. Our guy is a high energy dog so he enjoys lots of attention and play and walks. She had all kinds of toys for him to play with and took him on many good long walks. He enjoyed his time with her and she was so attentive and sent us so many fun pictures. We could tell he had a great time with her, and we were very appreciative as was he!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 14, 2026

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.

Safety, trust & environment

I make the well-being of pets my top priority, whether they're in my home or a client's. In my own space, I guarantee a dedicated area with all the essentials, from food and water to toys and a cozy resting spot. I stick to a consistent routine for feeding and exercise and shower them with affection. Rest assured, I host pets from only one household at a time to ensure their comfort and security. When caring for pets in a client's home, I meticulously follow their instructions, maintaining their established routines. Communication with pet owners is transparent, and I strive to create a comfortable atmosphere in the familiar surroundings. I will always prioritize the physical and emotional needs of the pets, ensuring a joyful and healthy experience.

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.
