Pet care experience

Trust-worthy,reliable animal lover!

Dogs, cats, horses, rescues and even wildlife have been a major factor in my life. I recently volunteered for a few months at the Southeastern Raptor Center with Auburn University and spent a couple of years rehabilitating mammals of all kinds in PA. I can care for all your pet’s needs including insulin injections and medication, not the very least, provide love, affection and attention. I will make sure your pet’s area is very clean upon your return. Like you, I have needed pet sitters over the years and I know how important it is to trust somebody when you’re away. I can provide you with lots of references from people who have trusted me over the years. I’d be happy to meet you in person before any bookings.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I take care for your pets in your home. My service is a 24-hour premium service for your home and pets. During our meet and greet we will discuss your needs, wants and desired schedule. I can look after plants, gardens, small errands, pick up mail and packages and make sure your home and pets are taken care of with top-notch attentiveness and conscientiousness. I will make sure I understand everything your pet(s) needs and what they like and what they don’t like. The idea is to keep them as comfortable, safe and happy as if you were still home. I will make sure I communicate any questions I have to make sure this is the best experience for both of us and your fur babies.

Thank you for taking such great care of Coco! Coco became ill right before our trip. Linda gave Coco her medication and special dietary needs to help heal Coco’s gut. We are very appreciative and allowed us to enjoy our trip by knowing Coco was in such capable hands. Our home was well cared for too! Thank you so much. I will totally recommend you to friends and will be rebooking as our travel needs arise.

I cannot say enough good things about Linda. She took the BEST care of our babies while we were on vacation. She gave me updates daily, along with photos and videos. She even took care of my garden while we were gone so we wouldn’t lose the plants to the heat. I would call on her again with my pet and home sitting needs. She is amazing!!!!

Please let me know what your pet loves to do and what not to do. Is your dog allowed to meet with other dogs in your neighborhood? Are there certain sounds or places that stress them out? What commands do you use? Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they sleep on the bed? Allergies, snacks, scared of thunder or storms?
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.
