Linda loves our babies like her own, we never have to worry when Linda comes to our house to take care of the dogs. She promptly updates us on how the dogs are doing, and when they have been seen last, and she goes above and beyond to make sure that our dogs are well taken care of while we are away.

She was very nice and I like the fact that she requested to meet my dog and to go over the care instructions before I needed her to puppysit. My dog liked her right away and I could tell by my ring doorbell that she spent a lot of time with my dog while I was out of town. The communication was great and I got a lot of puppy pictures and videos. I would recommend.

Can’t say enough positive things about Linda! From the pictures/videos she sends to how she cares for him like her own…it’s exactly what we had been looking for in a dog sitter! She plays outside with them, and pays close attention to detail, and loves them!

We couldn’t be happier with our dog sitter! From the start, communication was excellent and we felt completely at ease leaving our dogs in Linda’s care. She was reliable, attentive, and truly treated our dogs like her own. We received regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog sitter. We will absolutely be using her again! She was amazing with our nervous dogs!

For pets with more involved medical needs, I’ll review their care and medication schedule to ensure I can meet their specific needs. Because I work at a vet clinic Tuesday–Friday until 6:30 PM, morning or multiple daytime medication visits may not be possible on those days- depending on the medication.
