Pet care experience

Stress-free pet care

A mature fun-loving English teacher, who can walk and exercise your dog, do some basic training with dogs and cats and provide overall great care. I am a lifelong pet owner who understands how hard it is to leave your pet for long work days or travel. That is why I will do everything I can to personalize your pets experience. Anything from playing fetch with their favorite toys, walking a designated or new route, bringing them to a dog park, brushing them or just letting then cuddle and rest if that makes them happy. I have a medical background and am confident and gentle in giving meds and working with pets with disabilities or effects of aging. I can perform pet CPR and can do basic bathing for extended sits or small extra fee. I have trained dogs to follow commands, catch Frisbee or retrieve other toys, swim, walk with assistive devices when older, and use a crate successfully. I can also train cats to walk with harness and leash and/or ride in or on pet back pack. Pet sitting and walking experience part time for many years. Currently, my schedule is flexible as I only work occasionally tutoring on line. I speak limited German at this time but am working towards improving daily.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I don't take in pets at my home as I have a cat that only tolerates some dogs. I do whatever is needed to make you and your pet comfortable when sitting in your home.

Linda was excellent at communicating and sending pictures. She went above and beyond the call of duty even giving my dog extra long walks. They will be best friends now for sure. Also super communicative about my cat who was just diagnosed with kidney disease and I was nervous to leave her. Thanks Linda!

Linda was great! We were traveling through the area and needed pet support for the day. She did a thorough meet and greet the day before to ensure that dogs were familiar with her and she had eveything she needed. She provided great reports and even called us with a verbal report. Would definitely recommend her!

Linda hat sich sehr gut um unsere junge Hündin gekümmert, alles einwandfrei. Ich kann sie jederzeit als erfahrene Betreuung empfehlen.

I need to know some standard information and any details can also help. How old is your dog or animal and any health injuries or concerns. Any things that can upset your pet with people or other animals? Does your dog tolerate other dogs or people on a walk? What are your pets favorites? Please share details. I have to make sure both your dog and I are safe, dogs that pull hard or lunge after other dogs or people can injure walkers/sitters and themselves or others. Please train your dogs well to walk. Please be honest if your dog has ever bitten another animal or person.
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.
