Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s favorite aunt 🩷
Hi! I’m Linh - your pet’s favorite aunt. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets behind, so my goal is simple: keep their routine consistent, keep them happy, and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for animals. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets. I also volunteered at an animal shelter when I was younger, which helped me become comfortable with animals of all ages, personalities, and temperaments. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and communication throughout your booking because I know you’re trusting me with family, not just a pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent routines, and adjust activities based on weather, age, health, and energy level. During hot weather, walks may be shortened when needed to prevent overheating, with the remaining time spent on indoor play.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for walking Colby
Linh was great to have watch our pups. She sent pictures and kept us up to date on how the girls were doing. Would highly recommend her
Linh is great. Always reliable. Had her several times now.
Conscientious and great with cats! My boys took to her straight away.
We had an outstanding experience with Linh. She was punctual, professional, and asked great questions during our initial meet-and-greet, and then demonstrated incredible flexibility when our departure schedule changed at the last minute and we asked if she might be able to come over earlier than planned. Our social, very talkative cat Callie bonded with Linh immediately and absolutely adored her — to the point where I’m pretty sure Callie was disappointed when we walked through the door after our trip and Linh left! We received lots of photos and updates from Linh, all showing a relaxed, happy cat who clearly felt completely at ease. Callie even slept with Linh at night! Linh was definitely a savior when we couldn't locate another sitter. We couldn’t ask for better care and we’ll definitely book with Linh again....Callie wouldn't have it any other way!
Linh is fantastic! She house sat for our two pups while we were on vacation for a week. I'm usually nervous about leaving our pups with a new sitter, especially after we had a bad experience with one (not thru Rover) a few years back. But Linh's knowledge and calm, confident demeanor instilled confidence in me so I was able to relax and enjoy our vacation. She sent updates and frequent photos throughout the week. Not only did she leave our house the way we left it, but she washed all of the sheets and towels which was not expected but very much appreciated. We will be using her again for our next vacation and I know the pups will be excited to see her again!

Schedule
**PLEASE NOTE** - I will be unavailable the following dates: + August 28-September 10 + September 17-20 + October 2-4 ***************************************************************** I offer flexible weekday and weekend availability for dog walks and drop-in visits and currently service the MetroWest area, including Framingham, Wayland, Natick, and nearby towns. Pet parents looking for weekly walks are always welcome as consistent schedules really help pets feel comfortable and at ease. I am currently accepting housesitting requests through September 2026. Availability for October and beyond will be released at a later date. Availability may be more limited depending on the pet’s schedule and care needs. I’m best suited for pets that can be left alone for a few hours at a time. If a date appears unavailable on my calendar, feel free to reach out anyway, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on the time and location, unless date is listed above.
