I hit the jackpot with Linda! She was the perfect pet sitter. She was attentive to Toby...following his play, walk and sleep schedule. I felt completely comfortable with his safety in her care. She asked a question if she wasn't sure about something, which I appreciated. There were lots of pictures and videos and updates. I enjoyed my time away knowing Linda was in charge of Toby.

Linda was absolutely wonderful! She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When an unexpected situation arose upon her initial arrival, she handled everything calmly and responsibly, always putting our pet’s well-being first. It’s clear that Linda genuinely cares about the animals in her care and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, comfortable, and loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. 🐾💕

Linda was absolutely wonderful caring for our pets and home while we were away. She was incredibly attentive to Dilly and Larry, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which helped us feel connected and reassured throughout our trip. Linda truly leaned in for everything we needed and went above and beyond to make sure both our pets and home were well cared for. She is kind, dependable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We would gladly trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

This was our first time using Rover, and we hit the jackpot. Linda is amazing, and we knew right away that our boy was in good hands with her! She was so professional, kind, caring, and patient with our stressed, elderly dog. She clearly loves dogs and asked all the appropriate questions to understand his issues and schedule. She gave him his meds and followed his dietary requirements and his frequent food schedule perfectly, sent updates and photos, and was so intuitive about our pup’s needs. Having her stay with him in our home gave us such peace of mind. I would highly recommend Linda in a heartbeat!

Linda was wonderful! I had never used Rover before and scored the site for someone I would be comfortable leaving with my dogs in our home. My dogs had never been here before and were still settling in to a new environment. They are older dogs and have a special diet and take some medications. She is very kind, capable and personable. We would definitely use Linda again!

Linda was GREAT. Very responsive and responsible. She took care of our pups like they were her own and brought me peace knowing that I could leave my pups in their home and they would be well cared for. She provided updates and pictures and asked the best questions! Highly recommend her to anyone who prefers to have their kiddos taken care of on their own turf!

Schedule

I’m retired so my outside activities are minimal. That means your dog(s) will have my full attention all day/night long. Their typical daily routine will be my routine. I have 2 hands so I can pet 2 at the same time!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Linda can host up to 1 pet per night
Knowing a dogs daily routine is a must. This includes feeding schedule, potty schedule, where they sleep and any special quirks they may have. Meet and greets are expected. I hope to meet you soon!!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
