Vet’s daughter, never without a dog

Pet care experience

I have grown up with all types of animals my whole life. My father was a retired vet. My family owned and operated a boarding kennel for 13 years. I was there for all 13 and a full time employee. I have taken care of diabetic animals, given countless pills/drops, drained and cleaned ears, given vaccines and am capable of most medical needs as long as they do not need a vet present. I love dogs the most! German Shepard's are my dream dogs! I have taken care of hundreds of different dog breeds. At my parents kennel I supervised doggie daycare and have handled 20 dogs alone. We sold our business in 2021 due to my parents retirement. If you have any special things you want your dog to do or learn while your away I will do my best to perform them or train them. I will also send pictures and if you would like stay in constant contact with you about your pet.

Linny is great with our dogs! I have peace of mind when I am at work that they are getting exercise and that they are with someone that takes such good care of them!

Linny is a caring and compassionate person who only has the best of intentions. I trust her completely with my dog which is huge, as my dog is a part of the family. She is timely, friendly and knowledgeable on animals.

Linny is AMAZING with animals. Not only is she great with them but she also is incredibly knowledgeable. She knows how to take care of multiple animals at once, even if one is unruly she has an ability to calm them down and have it behave. I trust my dog with her and that is something incredibly important to me. I would and have recommend her to anyone.

Information Linny D. would like to know about your pet

If there’s any food or resource guarding aggression. I can easily care for it but need to know in advance. Any allergies or medical issues I should be aware of.

A typical day

I loved to play ball or fetch with dogs. That’s my favorite activity but if ours would rather gets scratches and love that’s awesome too.
