Housedoggies Pet Sitting Service

5 Acres, Pool, Large PRIVATE HOME PROVIDING POOCH PAMPERING SECOND TO NONE. Dog boarding, pet taxi, walking or house sitting I do it ALL!! I have over 20 years experience with all sizes and breeds, serving Franklin, Clarke & Western Loudoun Counties in Virginia and Innwood WV. Give your baby a luxury vacation while you are away, a great day-care experience while you work or shop or I’m happy to care for your pet in their own home. Pet taxi service to/from my house, to your vet or groomer is also one of our services. Schedule a meet and greet to come see for yourself. WHY I LOVE DOG SITTING My parents raised Collie's and my first dog was Lady, I was 18 months old! So I have always had dogs, a house just isn't a home without a pup! I have owned, fostered and rescued dogs all my life. I have experience with all breeds, from Great Danes to Yorkies, I have done it! I love dogs, pamper them but give them the boundaries that make them feel secure. SERVICE AREA I am located in a large home with a pool and fenced in backyard in Clear Brook Virginia serving Winchester, Purcellville, Round Hill, Berryville, Bluemont, Hillsboro, Lovettesville and the surrounding areas. We can arrange pet taxi service to/from our home at an extra charge. CALL FOR MORE INFORMATION I’m happy to provide many references from past clients, give a phone and/or in person interview. All boarding clients must complete a meet & greet prior to booking. MEDICATION AND SPECIAL ATTENTION I am trained in administering oral medications and injections.

Linda took our last minute booking right before the holidays. She had us come out for a meet and greet before our trip and made us feel so welcome. She did a great job with our dog and sent us daily updates. She was awesome and we highly recommend her to anybody looking for a dog sitter!! Thank you for such a great experience!

Linda was a great find for us. We moved back to the area about a year ago and needed someone to stay with our “kids”. We’ve used Rover in the past so we turned to them again. After a lot of searching for someone that could take care of our elder pups needs we landed on Linda. It was short notice for her (I procrastinated) but she made it work. Linda stopped by the house for a visit with everyone and the kids approved. We were very pleased with Linda’s approach and style. She took care of our home and babies like they were her own. We highly recommend Linda. She’s a keeper. We will be booking her again.

Linda took wonderful care of my dog Callie while I was out of town! Callie is very shy with new people, but during our meet and greet, Callie opened up to and felt comfortable with Linda almost immediately. It was clear how much Linda loves dogs and how much she cares. Linda was excellent at communicating leading up to and during Callie’s stay. While Callie was with Linda, she spent lots of time outside and came home tuckered out! I feel like I can travel away from home relaxed knowing that Callie is in good hands.

Linda is fantastic! I'm always nervous to leave my senior corgi when I go out of town, but Linda put my mind at ease at our first meet-and-greet. She was conscientious, compassionate, detail-oriented, and communicative. And most importantly - Arthur loved her!
