🚗 Pick-Up & Drop-Off Service Planning a trip can be hectic, and I know every minute counts. To make things easier, I offer convenient pick-up and drop-off right from your front door. Your pup will be transported safely and comfortably, allowing you to focus on your travel plans stress-free. This service can be easily added to your booking for extra convenience. 🛁 Grooming Services Keep your pup looking and feeling their best during their stay! I offer bathing and basic hygiene grooming, including nail trims, ear cleanings, and anal gland expression. You are welcome to add grooming services before or during your pup’s stay. I simply ask for at least 48 hours notice prior to pickup so I can plan accordingly and give your dog the attention they deserve. ✨

🐾 20yr Vet Nurse • Always Home 🏡

Pet care experience

🐾 Pet Care Experience 🐾 I am a veterinary technician with nearly 20 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I am trained to administer medications and injections when needed and have extensive experience with special-needs dogs, including those with wheelchairs, severe anxiety, and epilepsy. I have also volunteered with animal rescues, which has strengthened my passion for providing loving, attentive care to every pet I meet. 🏡 Work-From-Home Advantage My husband and I both work from home, so your pup will never be left unattended. There is always someone nearby to provide supervision, comfort, and care. 🌿 Where Your Pup Will Stay Your dog will enjoy a spacious townhome designed for comfort and fun. Our fully walled, covered patio features doggy tunnels, toys, and soft turf. It truly feels like a private mini dog park where your pup can safely play, explore, or simply relax. 🛏️ Where Your Pup Will Sleep Because we host dogs from multiple families, each pup has their own designated sleeping area set up with gates and playpens. This keeps everyone safe and comfortable overnight. 🍽️ Feeding We follow your pup’s normal feeding routine as closely as possible to help them feel right at home. Please bring their food so we can maintain consistency during their stay. 🐕 Walks & Potty Breaks Your pup will receive three walks per day: morning, afternoon, and evening after dinner. Walk schedules can be adjusted to fit your dog’s specific needs. Pee-pad trained pups are welcome, and special accommodations are always available. 📸 Updates You’ll Love Leaving your pup behind can be stressful, and I completely understand. That is why I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and safe. ✅ Requirements for Boarding Copy of up-to-date vaccinations (a photo is perfectly fine) Dogs must be on monthly parasite prevention including flea, tick, and intestinal protection. Please provide your pet’s food, Leashes, bowls, beds, and blankets are optional since I am happy to provide them if needed. ⭐ Safety Is My Priority Your pup’s safety and wellbeing always come first. I carefully evaluate each dog’s personality and needs before allowing socialization with others, ensuring a positive and safe environment for every dog in my care. ❤️ Every dog is treated like family. Loved, protected, and cared for as if they were my own.

Always Always a pleasure! Linda is the bomb dot com! Book with her! I am in broward but I don’t mind the drive to her bra cause I know her service is top tier. Diego loves her as if she was family. Words don’t amount to the care she has for fur babies.

Linda was wonderful. I was nervous about leaving Ava Grace with a sitter however Linda made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. She communicated with me and was accommodating to a last minute change to my schedule. Ava Grace absolutely loved her. Linda and Ava Grace's interactions at drop-off and pick-up were heartwarming which proved that Ava Grace was happy. I will definitely utilize Linda again.

I feel blessed to have found Linda on Rover to take care of my 2 mini schnauzers. Especially that she was familiar with the breed made it more comforting. She was very loving from the start and assured me from the beginning that my dogs would be fine. Every time I reached out to find out how the dogs were doing while I was on vacation, she responded right away. She took really good care of my babies and look forward to continue using her services in the future. Thank you Linda!! 🥰

Linda was great with my dog. She was always responsive. I could tell my dog was having a blast at Linda’s place. 10/10 sitter would definitely book again with her.
