I am very passionate about two things. Fitness and animals. If your dog loves to go for walks I look at it as a motivation to get myself moving! If ur can’t likes the tiring string play all over I make sure to commit until we’re both panting! Hehe I work full time Monday through Friday with plenty of time in the morning and evening to make sure to spend a good amount of time with your fur baby!

Information Linda V. would like to know about your pet

I always ask questions about their likes and dislikes. What don’t they like? What makes them the most happy? Where do they love/hate being pet? Do they respond well to other animals? I just like to get a good idea so I don’t put them or myself in an unsafe situation.

A typical day

I love to go to the park and play or even just walk around the neighborhood. I like playing with animals too. If they have any toys that the especially love chasing or playing tug of war with, I love seeing their faces light up at play time.

Animal lover, people person, kind.

Pet care experience

My first job was at an exotic pet shop. I quickly learned how to care for a variety of animals and a passion grew for ethics in animal care. I love cats and dogs, I’ve had them my whole life. And I also have worked with animal rescue for birds, lizards, turtles, and many other kinds of animals.

This was my second time working with Linda. She was as reliable, communicative and flexible as she as the first time. She does a great job with my cats and I hope to use her again in the future.

Linda is amazing! She is very thorough and professional and takes great care of our fur baby. I was able to enjoy the trip knowing he was going to be well taken care of.
