Your dog's best friend!

Pet care experience

I have an 16-year-old chocolate Labrador who still thinks she’s a pup and loves to hang out with other dogs. I always go for long walks each day, with my dog or friend's dogs. I've been a professional dog sitter for over 6 years. I am a consummate doting dog person. I’ve been dog owner for nearly 28 years, having Labs in our family the whole time but also spending endless hours at dog parks, on hiking trails and socializing our four-legged family members with other dogs in the neighborhood. I also hold as required a City of Santa Monica business license for dog walking and dog care. (220261) I'm located in Westwood and am easy access to Beverly Hills, Brentwood, West LA and Santa Monica. My husband and I both work part time out of the house and we both play with the dogs. We have a pool, some dogs swim part of the day. We have a big yard for them to run in. Because of the recent uptick in the virus Leptospirosis all dogs must have had their Lepto shots before coming. We are committed to maintaining a safe environment for our clients. I have a fenced in yard with two separate play ares. The pool is fenced in separately and the grassy/artificial grass area is fenced separately.The dogs are only at the pool when supervised.

Lynda and her husband were great hosts to Max! She was very responsive and sent lots of videos and updates. Max came home a happy and tired boy. Lots of playing with the other pups in her yard!! We’ll use her again!

Lynda is an outstanding dog sitter! We had never left our 8 month old puppy before and had to leave for an extended trip. Lynda sent pictures and updates daily and took incredibly good care of our boy. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!!

Information Lynda J. would like to know about your pet

Keep up on the Bordetella shots especially if you are taking your dog to the park or doing daycare. Also make sure your dog has had both of it's Leptospirosis shots. It is important to know if your dog gets along with other dogs. I generally have a friendly bunch that gets along great and plays a lot.

A typical day

we love to stimulate the dogs with various safe toys. Dogs that can swim are allowed in the swim area only when we are there. The dogs also play on an artificial grass area where there are lots of trees for shade. We play catch and get the dogs to chase and tug.
