Pet care experience

Animal Guru

I have always had an empathy for all animals which allows me to work with them in specific ways, know their needs, and provide the emotional care and love they deserve. Giving your babies a place to feel like they're on a vacation rather than feeling homesick. I am always available for all of your pets needs. If they need frequent walks I am available, or if they need that tender loving care of home I am available for that as well. Since I am currently managing my own business I have plenty of time at home to supervise and play :-). I always ask the owner's if there's anything that I need to know in regards to the pet's health, to be able to cater to their specific needs. I always make sure that they are walked frequently, and fed the owner's specific diet. I care for them as if they are one of my own. Looking forward to meeting you!

Linwood did an amazing job with sitting my pup. He kept a great line of communication, pictures and videos during his stay. Greatly appreciate the accommodations he made for my changes with my trip. I will for sure be using him on my future plans. Thanks again

Doggy Day Care • Dez. 28, 2025

Very accommodating with a short notice request. Took great care of my dog. My dog can get anxious but was very comfortable staying with him! Would definitely recommend him, and would absolutely hope to he was available again next time we visit.

Linwood went above and beyond in taking care of my miniature schnauzer. I was sent updates with photos throughout my trip. Couldn’t have asked for more. Dropoff and pickup were quick and smooth. I highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

It's a very relaxed environment, that will allow your pets a free roam unless a crate is required. There is plenty of space for them to run around. If I am sitting in someone else's home for them, I always make sure to follow all the instructions provided.

A typical day

Have plenty of toys, tennis balls, and treats to provide a playful day everyday day! I know that I have a lot of energy to give and this is the perfect way to exercise it.
