Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, reliable dog care
Update - I am now a certified Dog First Aider and for Brachycephalic breeds (such as bulldogs, CKCS, Shih Tzu, Boxers ). I have looked after my Tibetan terrier from a puppy until a I had to say goodbye to him at the age of 15. Also looked after my sons Frenchie at my house for 5 years until he passed away recently. I love all animals especially dogs. I enjoy a nice walk in all weathers.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Linda was very good with our anxious cockapoo, good communication as well.
She is great! Great communication and great with bear.
Lin has had Mabel before but Saturday was the first time that she had stayed overnight, Mabel has separation anxiety but she slept all night, which is amazing. Lin kept in touch & also administered Mabel’s medication in the morning. I was really relieved that Mabel had settled. Lin is very calm and comforting for Mabel, I was really pleased & will definitely ask Lin to have Mabel again
Mabel is an anxious dog, but Lin is great with her. I feel that I can really trust her with Mabel. Lin has a very relaxed demeanour which helps keep Mabel calm. Looking forward to Mabel’s next stay in two weeks time.
Teddy & Ruby loved their stay. I got regular updates from Linda with pictures. It was lovely to see & hear they had settled well. I would definitely recommend Linda and have already booked another stay later in the year. I know Teddy & Ruby will love it and be very well looked after.
Noodle loves staying with Lin. Lin gives her such love and care and attention and Noodle clearly feels as though Lin’s is her home away from home. Lin keeps us up to date with how Noodle is doing and sends photos and updates, which we really appreciate, she is such a calm person who clearly has everything in hand so we never worry leaving Noodle with her. Also appreciate that Lin is flexible and accommodating in terms of picking up and dropping off
