. Their temperament how they get along with kids and other dogs. Any special things that they like. How they handle being away from home.

A typical day

I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. Nine out of 10 people have dogs. I work in my yard a lot so the dogs can be out with me playing and watching everybody else walk by. If they like walks I love walks. I walk every morning with my daughter who lives a block and a half away.

Pet care experience

My Mom used to rescue dogs of all kinds. We had 3 dogs of our own and always had an extra 1 or 2. As an adult I always had cats my last 2 went to heaven in October of 2024. In 2011 I found my Kalan. He was bought from a puppy store and given up almost immediately. I loved him he was my baby. I lost him to soon just under 7 to bone cancer. I moved in 2020 to a new house and am ready for dogs in my life. I have a fenced yard, dog neighbors all around me. The dogs quickly become part of my family, I really enjoy them.

Lynda was attentive to Nougat’s needs. Provided exercise and safe interaction with other pets. She really puts her heart into what she does. I will be using her again when I travel.

Lynda is the best. My dog has been with her 3 times and he does so well there and she is just a cool person. Highly recommend her.

Lynda is awesome, you can tell she truly takes care in watching over the dogs. When I picked up the dogs they seemed very relaxed. She covers all the details to make sure the pets have a great stay. Our dogs usually stay with family when we are gone, but we will definitely use Lynda next time we are in a pinch. Thanks Lynda!
