Highlights
Pet care experience
Consider me your dog’s auntie!
I LOVE hanging with dogs, and I really strive to provide a continuous environment by learning and adopting the owner’s practices. My family jokingly calls me the child whisperer, so I imagine that could translate to dogs!

Linnea is the best! She’s such a natural with any dog and will take such great care of your babies. Thanks again!
Linnea was INCREDIBLE. She was consistently communicative, observant, and thoughtful. I knew my dog was being lovingly taken care of - including adventures, cuddles, and more! I'd book Linnea a million times again.
Linnea is the best! She’s taken care of all my pets multiple times per week for over a year now, and she’s been great to work with. She’s given detailed updates, and makes sure to communicate any concerns-plus the pets love her!!
Always the best! Thank you Linnea
Recurring sitter for us. Always does a good job!

Schedule
I prioritize my clients scheduling needs, and will communicate beforehand if there’s a conflict. I prefer providing services during typical work hours because my evenings are typically pretty full. I am happy to consider requests later in the day. I do travel periodically, so I try to keep my calendar updated to account for that. I only offer boarding services in Sunday’s, otherwise I am not available. For boarding inquiries, a minimum of two days is required.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a mostly fenced backyard - there’s a pathway that is currently unfenced in the far back. I have an extended lead leash that I like to use if I want to hang in the backyard with the dog or for potty breaks. I do not leave dogs outside by themselves. I’m either outside with them or in the kitchen which leads to the backyard. My neighbors are comfortable with dogs, and we have some friendly dogs in the neighborhood but I proceed with caution. Typically I cross the street and monitor both dogs behavior before making introductions during walks. If circumstances don’t allow for crossing the street, I’ll ask the other owner if it’s safe to proceed, or I’ll have the dog sit so I’m in between the dog in my care and the oncoming dog. Meet and greets are REQUIRED at my place for boarding and doggy daycare services; and they are strongly preferred for all other services. If the dog demonstrates good training and respect for boundaries, I allow pets on furniture and am comfortable with dogs roaming freely in the house when my husband or I are out of the house. We take it case by case with allowing dogs on the bed at night.
A typical day
I like going for long walks and playing games like “tug” and “fetch” with the various toys dogs have. I love practicing commands and helping to train dogs. I’m getting pretty good at it!
