Cat mom with experience in pet care
Pet care experience
Since I can remember, my family has always had pets in our home. I grew up in a military household with our beagle named Junior. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with cancer and had to be put down in April of 2014. In July 2014, during a very difficult time in my life, I was lucky enough to meet my cat, Shadow. He truly came into my life when I needed him most. Ever since, raising him from only days old, he has been my best friend. Since 2013, I have been a pet sitter for friends and family. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, hermit crabs, fish, snails, and birds. In 2022, while attending college in Virginia, I was hired at my local organic pet food store. While working there, I was trained daily on the products we sold, which was geared towards promoting the overall health and happiness of our fur babies. It was a wonderful experience working there. I am very grateful for the opportunity I was given to not only educate myself but also the customers on maintaining the wellbeing of our pets.
Reviews
Lynda went above the expectations I had for watching over our fur baby. Our dog is on a very tight schedule with a ton of rules due to the medication she’s on and Lynda exceeded everything. Not only did she do an amazing job watching her, but she also cleaned up our house and made cute little paw prints from our fur baby to us. I would highly recommend her to others and we will be booking her every time we go out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a cat mom of one handsome boy. To care for him I clean his litter boxes every other day, brush him about 2 times a week, bathe only when necessary, and since he is slightly "overweight" (I consider it: more to love), we have incorporated a scheduled feeding routine. This consists of one can of wet food, half in the morning and the other half in the evening, and a small amount of dry food at night. He adjusts very well to changes, but loves his routine.
Information Lynda J. would like to know about your pet
First and foremost, it's extremely important to know if a pet needs medication and how often to give it to them. It's also important to know their feeding schedule and if/how they like to be touched and played with. It's also important to know any possible allergies they may have. I also like to note how old the animal is so I can make sure they get the proper amount of exercise for their age and breed.
A typical day
When I am watching my friend's or family's pets I like to make a checklist of the tasks they would like for me to do. I also enjoy taking the extra time to play with and cuddle their pets too, so they don't feel lonely. My cat gets separation anxiety, so I know how important it is to make the pet feel comforted.
