Safety, trust & environment

I’m located off of Hwy 287 between Turner Warnell and Debbie in a quiet, low-traffic subdivision. I know what it’s like to travel and worry about my dog and dog sitter. Here are a few things to know about my dog care: *I would never let your small dog go potty in the back yard without me or my dog as escort. *Your dog won't have access to an external door. I use the through-the-garage-3-door method, and have never had a dog escape my house or yard. *My yard is a fortress, with stone edging and a secure/locked fence. It is designed for dog safety. *Every dog here has age-appropriate shots, unless medically waived. *No kids or cats. The slide is for the dogs. My playful guests love learning to go up and slide down. *My guests are spayed/neutered and reliably housebroken, with no inside marking. Dogs make new friends here, and regulars are happy to see each other when they board here again. No hormonal drama LOL

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced owner, foster mom, rescue coordinator, and dog care pro. I volunteer with Shelter2Rescue, Schnauzer Rescue, Cody's Friends, doodle rescue, and others. I offer a fun and safe host home for your dogs when you're away. You don’t need to worry about your dog being left out in the heat or not having a sweater when it’s cold. My large yard is a secure, dog park. Zoomies around the pergola and squirrel patrol are popular activities for my playful guests. Butt parking on the backs of my sofas is popular for dogs who like to check out the action in the front or back yard. About me -- I'm ... originally from the Bronx, NY a retired book editor I attend Life Church Mansfield and Rush Creek church. My hobbies include reading, vacuuming, and power mopping. 😊 following 🐾 43y experience. 🐾 100s of 5-star reviews for Lynda’s Dog House-- FB, Google, Rover, Nextdoor 🐾 Onsite, secure dog park

We were somewhat apprehensive leaving Ollie as we have never used Rover before. We chose to do a meet and greet with Linda and immediately felt at ease. From her dog loving personality to the cleanliness of her home, it made our decision making process much easier. She cared for Ollie for 5 days and we would choose her again.

Ms. Lynda is an excellent caregiver. She was very attentive, and sent updates to let me know how my Mitzy was doing throughout her stay. I will definitely be using her again!

Lynda was great! Very responsive to communication, great about sending updates and pictures. Scrappy seemed to be tired when he got home so I’m sure he got to get out some energy while getting plenty of outdoor playtime! Thank you so much.
