Loves All Creatures....

Dogs of all shapes and sizes have always been an important part of my life. I have lived with and/or cared for many dogs from pups well into their senior years. Most of my canine friends have been rescue animals. We recently said goodbye to our sweet Buffy Lou, a boxer/pit bull mix. She was eight months old (still had some baby teeth) when she jumped into my truck late one night. By the time I exhausted all efforts to find her owners, she had won a place in our hearts. She was sweet, playful and strong and one of my dearest friends for 15 years. Although she weighed 65 pounds, she was very sure she was a lap dog. I'm happy to feed, play or walk with and care for your canine friends with careful attention to your requests. Often, the hard part about being away from home is finding a caregiver for your sweet pets; then there's the lists and the details so their care will be seamless while you're away. I've spent a wealth of time on those lists when I'm leaving my pets. Rest assured that I appreciate their importance and the love it represents for your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy to accompany your pups on short walks or to play in their yard. I believe that all pets need verbal communication and exercise just as we do. I've kept my service area within a small radius of my home in order to accommodate frequent visits whenever necessary.

Linda was amazing! She stopped in to meet Maggie before watching her and was just a delight. Linda is great with our dog and I will definitely be using her again. Five stars!

Being new to the area, I was nervous about finding someone trustworthy to care for my pets. From the moment I met Linda, I knew I had found someone special. She took the time to meet with me before the actual Pet Sitting date, sharing her experience and getting to know my two dogs and two newly adopted kittens. It was clear right away that my animals were comfortable and happy around her. Linda’s not only incredibly professional, but also genuinely loving and attentive. Throughout her time with my pets, she kept me updated with sweet pictures and thoughtful messages, which gave me a piece of mind. I’m beyond grateful to have found her, she’s truly a lifesaver and someone I will continue to trust with my furry family. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like her own, Linda is the one!

Any special requests and insight into your pets daily routine and needs will help their care be seemless in your abscence. Your ease of mind, as well as theirs, will be my goal.
