Pet care experience

🐾 20yr Vet Nurse • Always Home 🏡

🐾 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.

Absolutely wonderful person and dog sitter. We left our little frenchie(Louie) with Linda while we traveled to Alaska. We spoke every time we had coverage and Louie was a happy camper. Linda will be my dog sitter as long as I have a dog and can’t take them with me. Don’t hesitate to give her a try as your pups will be in great hands.

Safety, trust & environment

🚗 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. ✨

A typical day

🐾 Daily Care & Attention 🌿 Your pup will be let out daily to play and relax in a spacious, secure play area where they can safely have fun and stretch their legs. 🐕 Most dogs enjoy three walks each day, and we are always happy to provide additional walks if your pup needs extra exercise or has specific requirements. ❤️ Your dog will receive plenty of attention throughout the day, with an adult always present in the home to ensure they are safe, supervised, and well cared for.
