Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner myself I know the importance of keeping pets in their routine. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in other peoples hands. I love detailed instructions and treat your babies like my own.

Information Linda N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and all of their quirks! Also of course any allergies. Should we stay away from other dogs? Do they get the zoomies around birds? Is there a favorite pee/poop spot? A word that gets them in the mood to go to the bathroom? I also like to know if there have ever been any negative dog walking/sitting experiences in the past so we can make sure not to repeat that!

A typical day

I love when owners share with me their pups favorite activities, some of my dogs love tug of war and fetch while others prefer slow walks with lots of stops to sniff the flowers or bugs. My favorite place to walk dogs big and small has been Astoria Park. There’s so much grass so on hot days it protects puppy paw pads, there’s hills for more active pups and lots of flat area for senior dogs or just bigger breeds that prefer a more leisurely stroll. Plus plenty of sticks for those that like to find one to take along on a walk.

Pet care experience

While I’ve always had cats, for years I petsat/dog walked both in high school, college and through grad school! I miss having time with pups and am always looking for the chance to play, walk and exercise them!

Linda is incredibly reliable and provides great updates on our furry friends. This is the second time we have asked her to watch them and we will certainly work with her again in the future! 5-stars all around :-)

Linda was so great with my husky, Reggie! My family was out of town for the weekend and she was so communicative with photos and checks in.. We extended our trip by another night at the last minute and she agreed to check in on his additionally to what was already booked. She sent photos and great updates on all of her drop in visits.. Highly recommend!

Linda did a great job communicating and sending pictures, it was such a relief as I haven't left my cats alone for that long before unless it was with family.

We had a great experience with Linda ! She was incredibly reliable and kept us updated with pictures and messages after every visit, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for Lola and Lia and we came home to a happy, well cared for our fur babies . We would definitely recommend her and plan to use her services again
