Full-time companship for all pets!

Pet care experience

Your pets will be treated like royalty here, with plenty of love and full-time attention! My life has always revolved around animals, including over 20 years of wildlife rehabbing and many years of petsitting. I love and welcome them all! I also have extensive experience with birds, both wild and domestic, both large or small. My home is on almost two wooded acres with areas for playing or resting in the shade, plus a large fenced area for their enjoyment. The house has plenty of room to either spread out or to enjoy peace and quiet. My pet birds and cats are separated from visiting dogs, and I can separate dogs from each other with gates as needed. I welcome special needs and anxious dogs (situation permitting), but also love to entertain energetic dogs who want to run and play. My neighborhood is safe and great for walking, with lots of shade and other dogs to meet and greet. Cats, small animals and rodents, snakes, lizards, and anything else are all welcome and can be set up however you would like, and will be treated like our own. I hope to meet you and your precious pets soon!

Linda was great! Treated our dog like she would her own. Sent pictures and videos and kept me updated! We will definitely use her again!

Second time for us and I can say Linda is one of the few people I want to trust my pup with. Great communication. Gives our dog a chance to be sociable with other dogs in a sage environment. Should be a sixth *

Linda is fantastic!! Our pup Reno enjoyed his stay and we had updates and pics the whole time he was there. This was our first use of Rover and we are so happy to have found Linda!

Information Linda R. would like to know about your pet

Do they like to be around other dogs? How much time do they like to spend cuddling? Where do they sleep at home? I like as much info as possible so I can make their stay fabulous! For safety, I require proof of vaccinations and verification of heartworm and flea prevention.

A typical day

I live in a great neighborhood for walking. Plus there are 2 neighborhood parks here, and Trashmore and First Landing are close by if your dog likes outings. There’s also a Home Depot down the street that 9 out of 10 dogs agree is awesome!
