Fun, dependable animal lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been the crazy dog lady, horse freak, Honu Guardian(sea turtles), and cat wrangler at various points in my life. My boys are in high school now and don’t need me as much so I’m looking for animals to spend my day with. I’ve pet sitted on-and-off for 24 years. Including dogs staying at my home, me staying at theirs, walking, feeding, bathing, even taking them to the vet for the owners. I’ve worked with dog trainers in the past as well as taken classes on animal behavior at a SPCA.

Wow, I cannot say enough great things about Linda. she was incredibly responsive and informative. She was punctual and sent lots and lots of pictures while she was there! Linda truly made this process so easy, it can definitely be worrisome to leave your pets in the hands of someone else, but Linda took all of those worries away. I hope we are able to utilize Linda’s services again in the future, she is extremely trustworthy!

Linda is Awsome! She takes care of my pets like they are her own. Even my very skittish cat has warmed up to her! Very attentive to their needs and leaves my house cleaner than I left it. 😁

Linda is so reliable and caring. She is so wonderful and patient with our at times very stubborn dog. I highly recommend Linda and will book with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard, but can only have hypoallergenic dogs in my home. I am comfortable hanging out in the home caring for old, young, healthy, disabled dogs. I’ve given medication many times and love playing with your babies.

Information Linda S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any needs your dog has or anything you like me to do or have me work on to reinforce training. I would also like to know what treats/how many are allowed.

A typical day

I love to play frisbee, go on walks, explore new areas on walks or in the yard. I’ve often hidden treats so your dog can be stimulated mentally and have fun. If at my house, I’d love to take your dog to the beach.

Availability

I am currently volunteering at a horse rescue so my days are flexible. I love to walk and enjoy the outdoors and I find dogs are the perfect companions. I also find cuddling quite fulfilling as well. I tend to spend the weekends with my family, so my availability might be limited, although not out of the question.
