College student with dog experience
Pet care experience
I am a college student studying to be a small animal veterinarian who has grown up with dogs my whole life. I have trained dogs almost my whole life from search and rescue, dog sports, as well as service work. I have lots of experience with dog sitting and walking, as well as having 2 dogs of my own. I have been working at a vet clinic for about 2 years, furthering my experience with animals.
Reviews
Linnea is an absolute angel. I don’t trust a lot of people with our fur babies but she came to our house several times to interact with them and for me to show her how to feed them. She understood all of my fears and anxieties about leaving them and was so kind. She updated me with pictures and when they had been fed and made me feel so comfortable. I can’t thank you enough Linnea!
Linnea was very good with my big dogs and took excellent care of them. Highly recommend her.
Linnea was amazing while watching our dogs. My girl Mickie is fairly aloof of new people and I was so pleased to see she actually snuggled with Linnea on the couch. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.

In my townhome, we don't have a yard, but the dogs will get walked to go potty about every 2-4 hours and will get a long walk once or twice a day, depending on what they need. In the client's home, I will spend time playing with them or just giving them attention, as well as long walks to tire them out.
Information Linnea S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any behavioral problems or special needs the dogs may have. I have experience with all types of dogs, so it will not be an issue, I just want to know how to handle each situation.
A typical day
I love walking and exploring new places, so the dogs will get plenty of exercise. I also love playing with the dogs, whether it be inside or outside.

Availability
I am currently a sophomore in college, but my class schedule is pretty flexible with long breaks in between classes to care for animals. Outside of classes, I have some hobbies, but nothing that is too time consuming to prevent me from walking/taking care of dogs and cats.
