Information Lynda S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, it’s very important for me to understand their personality, routines, medical needs, triggers, and preferences. Knowing things like feeding schedules, behavior around other animals, anxiety levels, and any special instructions helps me provide the safest and most personalized care possible.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is structured, active, and full of attention. I start by making sure they’re comfortable, fed, and have fresh water. From there, we go on walks tailored to their energy level—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active outing. Throughout the day, I include fun and engaging activities like playtime with toys, basic training exercises (sit, stay, leash manners), and lots of positive interaction to keep them mentally stimulated. I also make time for calm moments like cuddling or simply being present so they feel safe and relaxed.

Pet care experience

With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I treat every animal like my own. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments — from playful puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m comfortable with administering medication, following specific feeding schedules, and providing plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to keep your pet safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away.

Lynda did an excellent job watching over Simona. I am always hesitant leaving her, understandable because she’s my baby. When I dropped Simona off with Lynda, I had tremendous guilt leaving her while I was off on vacation. Lynda has a very calm, sweet demeanor. She could tell I was feeling guilty and re-assured me she would take great care of her. This definitely put me at ease. I strongly recommend Lynda with your precious babies.

Lynda truly came to our rescue! While I was out of town, my original pet sitter was no longer able to care for my two dogs because they didn’t get along with her cat. It was a stressful situation, but Lynda stepped in on short notice, picked up my dogs, and cared for them for an entire week. When I came to pick them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while I was away. I’m incredibly grateful for Lynda’s kindness, flexibility, and dependable care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you so much, Lynda!

Lynda took the best care of my kitten. I just got a kitten, but I had a work trip I could not get out of. I was worried about leaving him alone. Lynda did a great job and treated my kitten like her own. I would recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone. She was even flexible with pick up time. I was half hour late due to traffic, but she said it was no problem.

She was able to help us out with short notice which was awesome. I feel like communication was a little slow at times though. Other than that it was good!
