We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Linda and Dwight! They are our favorite—and ONLY—people we trust to care for our dogs when we’re away. Knowing our pups are with them gives us complete peace of mind, which is absolutely priceless. They treat our dogs like their own, keep us updated, and genuinely care about their happiness, comfort, and routines. Our dogs adore them, and it’s obvious the feeling is mutual. We never have to worry about whether they’re getting enough attention, love, or snuggles while we’re gone. Finding people you trust completely with your dogs is incredibly hard, and we feel so lucky to have found them. At this point, we honestly plan our travel around their availability because we wouldn’t want anyone else!

Fantastic hosts! Wonderful communication. It was clear that our dog was well loved and cared for when we were out of town. Highly recommend- our dog will miss them!

We cannot recommend Linde enough! Every time we are away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our furry family member is not only well cared for, but truly loved. What stands out most is her reliability, kindness, Linda and her husband are just wonderful people. We feel incredibly lucky to have found you, Linda! Thanks so much for what you do, we are so grateful for your care, dedication and love!

Linda is such a kind, caring person. We are so lucky to have her care for our precious pup when we're away. She is so responsible and takes great care of our dog, along with taking amazing pictures too. She is the best, and I can't recommend her enough!!

Linda and Dwight are exceptional dog sitters! It’s obvious that they have a real love for dogs. Excellent communication as well. I would highly recommend their services and plan to again in the future.

Another excellent visit with Linda. Boys loved their playtime. They were able to run outside and continue playing inside. Linda is a gem!
