Highlights
Pet care experience
Peace. Love. Dogs (& all others!).
I am a life-long animal lover. I grew up with dogs, a cat, a rabbit and anything else I could convince my parents to house! I've been riding horses since an early age as well. Connecting with animals has always come very naturally to me. I truly enjoy caring for and loving animals. My first job, at the age of 13, was as a daily after-school dog-walker, for my neighbor's Old English Sheepdog, Winston. That 30 minutes was the highlight of my weekdays. Animals and their pet parents have been finding me ever since! :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
During visits, I focus purely on your pet and his/her needs. Drop-ins are normally feeding, a potty break & some fresh air, playtime, water change, a treat (if that's okay by you!) and of course, lots of LOVE. I will tailor the play activities to your pets preferences and energy level for the best experience. During walks, I will remain consistent with the usual pace and route. My goal is for your pet to receive the right amount of activity & stimulation and to feel comfortable and happy in my company. I will ALWAYS make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and looked after as if he/she is my own. :)
Ratings and reviews
Linda is the one and only person I trust with my pets! She has many years of experience with animals Linda has the ability to connect deeply with them and understand their needs. She is trustworthy, dependable and respectful of your home. Linda communicates without being asked to. She sends updates and pics of our happy dogs! You can go away with a peace of mind when you have Linda taking care of your fur babies!
Linda is extraordinary with animals of all types--dogs, cats, horses, you name it, she loves them--and they love her back. She's deeply caring, conscientious and playful. There is no one I would trust more with my four-legged friends. I know that they will always receive the best care with her. I have peace of mind knowing that she is in charge.
I know Linda very well - have walked many a dog with my sister (yes, my sister) so I know well her love of all pets and how much she cares for them. Linda is extremely reliable, detail oriented, and will care for your pet with love and compassion.
Our dog, Poppy, absolutely loves spending time with Linda as did our prior dog, Stella. Linda has a great way with animals. Even our cat, Victor, who is very elusive will come out to greet Linda when she comes over. Linda has a way about her that our animals gravitate to. Any time we need help with Poppy and Victor Linda is our first point of contact.
Linda has been caring for my dogs for at least 10 years. She is the most loving and caring dog sitter. I have 6 dogs and 2 are special needs dogs. She changes one of my dogs diapers 4+ times a day. Carries one of my dogs up and down the stairs. She is amazing. Sends me pictures daily of the crew. Takes care of all their food and medicine. I never worry when I travel as I know they are in the best hands. I highly recommend Linda to care for your special 4 legged babies. You will be thrilled with her.
Linda is the best! She cares for dogs, cats horses as if they are her own. Linda is kind, trustworthy, and compassionate. She has stayed with my cats and dog and they love her. Linda is also an experienced equestrian and has a passion for horses. She is her happiest taking care of any animal friend!
