Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet is a part of my family :)
I am based in Oyster Bay and am a retired teacher with six years of experience running my dog care business. I have had animals my entire life, ranging from a 3-pound teacup Chihuahua to a Great Dane, as well as cats, horses, and goats. This past summer, I rescued my sweet girl, Aruba...yes, we found her in Aruba :) She is wonderful with all of the dogs who stay with us. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and carefully maintain each pet’s established routine, including precise feeding schedules, medication administration, and appropriate daily exercise. When your dog stays with me, they immediately become part of our family. They are welcome throughout the home and may even sleep with us. During warmer months, I take the dogs to the beach for long, beautiful walks. I am available seven days a week and am always home. My two adult daughters, ages 24 and 22, also assist, ensuring your dog is never left alone. Services offered include daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and overnight care in your home when available. After all, doesn’t your dog deserve a vacation too?

Ratings and reviews
Linda is the best. Great sitter for Gigi. Would have Linda sit with Gigi anytime. Thanks.
Thank you so much for taking care of Alma! She was happy and tired at the end of the day! Super appreciated the photos and updates as well!
Osa had a fabulous time at Linda’s! Would absolutely book her again.
My dog really enjoyed her time at Linda's! Linda sent pictures and updates and took good care of my dog.
Linda is a great sitter! She was very communicative and made us feel comfortable with leaving our dog with her for a 5 day trip. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog was content in an unfamiliar environment.
Linda was incredible. She was highly communicative, sent photos, and was flexible with drop off and pick up. Phoebe had a great time in her huge yard. Can’t recommend Linda highly enough!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is 100% smoke free! I have a fully fenced yard for the dogs to stay in so they can get some fresh air & play with their friends.

A typical day
I live a few blocks from the beach. We walk dogs multiple times a day down to the park & beach. If you don't mind your dog playing in the water I can do that as well, of course leashes will remain on at all times.
