About: Hi! I'm Lina, a passionate and reliable pet care provider with 14 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's dogs, cats, or small pets, I treat every animal like family—because that's what they are. I'm trained in basic pet first aid, understand animal behavior, and specialize in creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry (or feathered!) companions.

I also will make them love me.

River Oaks cat parents share their Rover experiences
Mallory was fantastic in taking care of our cat Mr. Nugget (aka "Nuggy"). Nuggy is normally shy and a bit standoffish with people. However, Malloy quickly became Nuggy's best friend, while sending us daily updates and photos of her and Nuggy's playtime. We will use Mallory again during future travels from home.
