Pet care experience

Full-time companship for all pets!

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 took care of Roger while we were in town visiting. He had a great time and we received constant updates! I wish we were local!

Our pups were so well taken care of. We really felt that they were happy there. We loved seeing the pictures she sent as well. We would definitely recommend her!

Linda boards/owns multiple dogs (4+) at one time. The backyard is a mud pit covered in feces. I would not have left my dog in these conditions had I known ahead of time.

Linda was great with my dog Hank, as usual. Highly suggest Linda if you have a social dog.

Schedule

I’m at home full-time, and my husband frequently works from home as well, so visiting pets get round-the-clock attention. I’m available weekends for day care as well as boarding.

I have a fenced yard as well as pet gates on most interior doors to keep pets safe and separated as necessary. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

Pets

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!

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Linda can host up to 4 pets per night
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.
