Information Lynda R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medical concerns or medications: physical limitations: allergies: special needs and/or any dietary restrictions. It's also helpful to know if they have any triggers or fears and your calming routine.

A typical day

Some soft strokes and ear rubs, belly scratches to start. Introducing a toy and build some excitement. If they are really interested, we'll play fetch/catch for awhile. I'll test their training and reinforce with treats. We can take walks and run off some energy.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of animals my entire life. Cats, dogs, birds, iguanas, ferrets and a few farm animals too. I was involved in an animal rescue group for several years, fostering many animals who had health issues. I firmly believe that all animals deserve love, shelter, safety, and food. I fall in love with almost every animal I meet! Even chickens!

Lynda took extra time and effort to meet and bond with my very anxious dog prior to stay. Kept the house very clean and my cat happy 😊

What can I say…if I could give Lynda 10 stars ⭐️ I absolutely would!!! She went above and beyond with taking care of my girl, Cinnamon and my home for a week! She kept in contact with me every day and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Lynda to take care of your fur kids and your home. Thank you Lynda and Rover for a great experience and for easing my mind!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
