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!

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 fantastic with Rusty! She was very willing to adapt to his schedule and take him on walks to get exercise and sent plenty of updates and photos. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking again!

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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
