Usually responds in under half an hour

Skills

27 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard, however, I can certainly drop in your home to feed, walk, clean up and hang out and spend time with them.

Information Linnette M. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with small to large breeds. I prefer dogs of any breed but have experience with my own Pitbull Terrier as well as mixed breed dogs at the shelter I volunteer at. Please let me know what type of dog you have and what they like to do so I can plan our time together for them specifically for their needs.

A typical day

Dogs need to use their brains on their walks, so allowing dogs to sniff around on a walk is highly stimulating and will tire them out just as good as a long walk. I can help with beginner commands as well, like sit, stay & come.

Friendly & Reliable Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since high school, had my own 3 dogs at once from puppyhood through senior. I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 10 years and can handle small to large dogs. I'm highly reliable, kind and friendly to all animals and will walk your dog with care. I want you to feel good knowing your dog is taken care of.

Linnette is very responsible and communicative, she consistently checked in to confirm the days and made scheduling very easy. She also sent photos of my dog before leaving, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Linnette to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!!

Linny is the ultimate pet lover. She has volunteered a few days a week to walk dogs, clean kennels and cuddle dogs & cats waiting for furever homes at Sammy's Hope for years now. She also plans their annual 5K fundraising event. Her own dogs are her babies and she will surely treat your pet as one of her own furbabies.

Linnette has cared for our animals for years. She is not only reliable but loving and committed to our pets happiness and safety. She has always been willing to work with our schedules and is extremely organized and responsible. We are able to go away and know our feathered babies will be loved and cared for while we are gone.
