Hi there, I'm Linda, and I'm so excited to meet you and your dog. Dogs have been a constant source of love and companionship throughout my life. Pet sitting allows me to share the love I have for these wonderful animals, while giving their owners peace of mind. When you book with me, you're leaving your pet with someone experienced, passionate, and professional. I'll treat them like family! I've made a career out of caring for dogs, don't take my word for it, just ask my three furry friends! I have a German Shepherd named Obi-Wan and a Westie named Tillie. I also have tons of experience training a variety of dogs. I raised guide dog puppies, therapy dogs, and even worked as a dog trainer. My extensive pet sitting experiences have included dogs, cats, fresh and salt water fish, guinea pigs, and turtles. All of these adventures happened while I was a full-time special education teacher. I recently retired and am ready to take care of your special pets. If your furry friend has medical needs, I can handle that too! I'm comfortable with giving pills to cats, insulin to diabetic animals, and even inhaler treatments. I have a very flexible schedule to accommodate specific pet needs. I'd love to talk to you about your pets and their care while you are gone. Please reach out to me with specific requests, questions, and information about your pet. I can't wait to hear from you!
