Furry Friends Welcomed!

Hey there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who’s fun, dependable, and truly passionate about caring for your pets like they’re my own. I work remotely full-time as a marketing manager, which means I’m home throughout the day and can be fully present for your pup’s needs, whether that’s regular potty breaks, playtime, or just some cozy company. I live with my husband in a spacious, dog-friendly apartment near Hackensack. We’re just steps from the river, so your furry friend can enjoy plenty of fresh air and beautiful walks! I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments (from high-energy puppies to senior sweethearts) and have also fostered dogs in the past. I know every dog is unique, and I’m happy to follow your dog's routine to help them feel right at home. When your dog stays with me, you can count on frequent updates, lots of photos, and most importantly, loving care. I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I’d love to get to know you and your furry friend :)

Cody had another wonderful stay with Linda- and we had great peace of mind. She sent many pictures and he looked happy and content. I’m so glad to have linda to take Cody when we visit ( non dog friendly) family near here!

Linda took great care of Yuki, keeping me in the loop with photos and videos all day long. I’d definitely recommend her and will definitely book them again whenever we need help!

Linda was amazing! There was a day I ran late & she was super accommodating. I was nervous since this is my first pup & she alleviated all my nerves. Will be rebooking again.

We'll get plenty of fresh air every day. We live by the river so there are lots of walking options to enjoy the sun and all the outdoors has to offer. While inside, we'll hang out often and your furry friend will get plenty of love and belly rubs.
