I often prefer animal to people!!

Pet care experience

I’m a dependable, loving and dedicated sitter with tons of love for pups. I love dogs because of their love for humans — they are so loyal and caring. My own dog, Pepper, is my world. She is a nine year old Pit Mix — the sixth dog we have rescued. I started caring for animals — both big and small — about ten years ago. Mostly dogs, but also cats (we currently have three rescued kitties). I’ve also cared for birds, rabbits, a tortoise, and even a baby squirrel! I love animals, and would be glad to care for all kinds. I am movie enthusiast, and I love attending lecture events at my local library. While pets aren’t allowed there, I love taking pups with me wherever I can. I started caring for pets approximately 10 years ago when some friends asked me to look after their dog and cat. Word got out about my skills and my business was born! If your pet has special needs, I can help. When I was 20 years old, my nineteen year old Twyla cat hydration until she was ready for the Rainbow Bridge. My caring vet, in Park Slope, N.Y., taught me how to use Lactated Ringers solution to help her during her last days. One of the five cats I cared for in Manhattan--for three weeks of overnights--required Insulin injections. His sugar levels were great when his family returned from vacation. I haven't just cared for dogs and cats. I've had clients that range from birds and fish to a rescued baby squirrel who needed to be bottle fed formula. My husband and I have a nine year old, female pit mix, Pepper Jonny Drama, a fourteen year old cat, Lucy a four year old cat and Bootsie a male cat--age unknown. All our animal friends are rescues and we love them dearly. I'll love yours like I do my own.

Linda is great. She wis very dedicated to doing the best for our kind of persnickety 13 year olds. She gives them great one on on attention, and does her best when they’re being shy and lazy. Totally appreciate her hard work!

Linda is my go-to person when I need someone to care for my animals when I am away. I have 2 cats a dog and a turtle. It is without hesitation that I leave the care of my animals in the hands of Linda. Linda comes over twice a day when watching my cats and turtle for feedings. She also makes sure to spend plenty of time in our house with the animals so they do not get lonely. My dog usually goes with us on long vacations, but I would feel very comfortable leaving him in Linda's able hands. I have known Linda for about 5 years and we regularly walk our dogs together. Her love of animals has always been apparent, she always has the welfare of animals first and foremost in her mind

Linda is a friend to all animals and has taken care of birds, fish squirrels, rabbits as well as dogs and cats. Ziggy, my cat, is a challenge . He might kiss you or swat you. Linda knows and understands his rhythms. She is patient and loving with him. she is thorough and caring and always goes the extra mile. If Ziggy needs extra attention or medication, Linda knows what to do. It is an honor to recommend her. Yours truly, Patty Kraft 347-221-8482

Information Linda N. would like to know about your pet

Meet and greets are essential. Setting up an initial visit is important, so we can get to know each other and make sure everyone is on the same page regarding your pup’s needs. Public parks are usually fun for all. I need to know whether your pup has any issues with aggression, and about your dog’s approach to other animals.

A typical day

We’ll walk, run, and play fetch — whatever your pup enjoys the most! Cuddling is high on my list of priorities when we’re hanging out inside. Since we live close to Benjamin Franklin Parkway, we love walking on the sidewalks and grass. We also go to a dog run (by car) in Fishtown. There’s one for larger dogs and one for smaller dogs.
