Pet care experience

Loving pet mom+animal enthusiast!

Hello! My name is Linda, and I am a recent college grad and lover of all animals, including cats, dogs, and reptiles! Since childhood I have cared for multiple family pets and have personally cat-sat on a dozen occasions. I have additional experience with dogs, having assisted in walking a family member's Labrador retriever a handful of times and dog-sat for a couple friends. I am passionate about animals, punctual, and feel confident that you will be satisfied with my pet care!

Linda was able to house sit my place and my babies on very short notice. Despite the short notice she made time for a meet and greet and was diligent about taking notes on everything! Her updates were informative and she kept up with the long list of duties I left for her. She’s a sweetheart through and through ❤️ thank you Linda from me and my ten cats! 💐

Linda went above and beyond by spending extra quality time with our kitty Oliver and paid such close attention to every detail. She really made an effort to help him feel safe and comfortable, and when she could tell he was feeling anxious, she tried different techniques to help him relax and feel more at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for 2 weeks. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave him and would absolutely recommend her! Thank you so much Linda, for looking after our boy!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She stayed at our apartment over the Fourth of July weekend and took amazing care of both our home and our cats. She was incredibly communicative throughout her stay, sending regular updates and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We came home to a spotless apartment and, most importantly, two very happy, relaxed cats who clearly adored her. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family and our home!

This was my first time having to leave my cat with anyone other than family. Linda was so attentive, always checking up on Hera on time, ensuring she had enough food, water, and pets and playtime! She checked in to make sure that with the summer heat she could keep the apartment cool, and when Hera broke a toy she fixed it up for her! Linda was absolutely amazing, and I hope to hire her again next time I have to go out of town!

I have noticed that Linda is quite fond of pets and likes to play with and cuddle her own pets as well as those of her friends. She has owned cats and lizards in the past and currently is responsible for the care, maintenance and feeding of her own cat “Baby” and Uromastyx lizard “Ori”. I have observed Linda pet-sit a cat several times at Linda’s own home and noticed her following the owner’s specific instructions carefully, while giving the cat extra playtime and general lap time so the cat could feel more comfortable in her new environment. This was important especially for the most recent episode of three weeks. The cat was provided with: * Her own food, given at the accustomed time of day * Fresh water, changed daily * Litter scooped and replenished twice daily * Plenty of exercise in a large bedroom and across the hall into the master bedroom suite * Isolation from other pets * Access to a large sunny window * Nap time on Linda’s lap Linda also dotes on both her Russian Blue cat and her large African Uromastyx lizard. Both pets are obviously happy and healthy.
