Safety, trust & environment

My home has a fenced yard for dogs to safely play. I DO REQUIRE a photo texted to me with the latest vaccines. They are allowed to sleep on the couches or soft chairs- whatever "strikes their fancy". I have no problem getting up in the middle of the night if your pup needs to get out. I will follow your direction completely with regards to feeding, medications, and any other needs your dog has. I have 1 friendly dog of my own, which will provide a playmate for your dog.

Babying and spoiling WILL happen!!!

Pet care experience

I was raised with dogs since birth! I've taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and every age in between. Folks ask me why I spoil my dogs so much. My response is "Because that is what you're supposed to do!" Humans domesticated dogs, and it is our responsibility to love, care for, and protect these precious souls.

Linda did an excellent job caring for my pup, Millie, while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure Millie was safe and comfortable in her care, and gave me the peace of mind I needed to fully enjoy my trip. Thank you, Linda!!

Linda was terrific dog sitter. She focuses on a the pups having a good experience in her home. She is kind and attentive. Her yard is fenced front and back. I will definitely leave our dog with Linda again.

This was Shambi’s third boarding with Linda and first longer one than a few days. Shambi did great and I really appreciated Linda’s updates every day, plus video of Shambi running circles around Bosley. 😂 Linda is a great boarder and wonderful to work with, always responsive and caring. I also appreciated Linda’s willingness and flexibility to keep Shambi longer when my flight was cancelled. You can feel at ease when your pets are in her care!

This was a very positive experience for us with Linda. We met with her first, then left Rosie with her for an hour then off to our River Cruise with Rosie in good hands. Linda sent pics every day and always provided an update. It was so helpful to know things were going well. We will definitely be hoping to have Linda in charge for future needs. She gave such special care to our baby girl!! Highly recommend although we’d like to keep her to ourselves!
