Introduction

Are you looking for a loving, trustworthy, and caring professional person to look after your furry family members while you're away? Hi, I’m Linda! My background is in Real Estate and Notary services, but my true passion is caring for animals.

Whether it’s feeding, providing fresh water, giving cuddles, cleaning the litter box, or taking walks and playtime, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well-cared for. I also offer boarding services in my home or yours. I’d be honored to care for your sweet fur babies and be a part of your family’s care routine while you're gone!

Linda loves my dogs and makes sure they are comfy and loved. She walked them several times a day and gave them plenty of love. I highly recommend her services. She is a gem!

Hi Diane, taking care of your sweet lovable pups always made me smile and was a joy for me. Please know that anytime you need a pet companion/sitter, I am only a phone call (text) away. Happy New Year Diane.

Linda was very attentive to my three dogs and that's not easy. I have two large dogs and one smaller one. She took pictures twice a day. She fed them and gave them play time outside. I will use her again.

I contacted Linda to pet sit my dog Bobo when our family booked a long weekend trip. I was initially anxious because we never had anyone but family take care of Bobo in the past. After speaking with Linda for just a few minutes, I was immediately at ease. Her soothing tone of voice, as well as her experience and passion for animals instantly comforted me. It was clear Linda was the right pet sitter to care for our senior dog. She did not disappoint! Daily updates and photos showed me that our dog was not only well cared for, but loved. Thank you Linda for taking such excellent care of our dog and providing peace of mind while we were away! Bobo misses you! Till next time!

Thanks so much Beverly for choosing me to be Bobo's pet companion while you were away. Bobo is such a sweetie and I miss him. Our walks in the Park and watching the sunsets on the patio, were so enjoyable. Please contact me anytime, I would love to spend more time with your sweet four legged furr baby 🐾🐕💛 give Bobo a hug for me. 🐶

Linda has a way with pets! I have a 6-year-old Doxy/Corgi rescue who was significantly abused as a puppy. He does not trust people easily, and is something that is generally earned with time. Upon arriving at Linda’s he was almost every immediately comfortable with her, presenting his belly, without a single growl or snarl. I left him with Linda for 5 days and received numerous photos daily or him enjoying life, cuddling, and relaxing. This made my out of town far less stress filled, as I didn't have to worry about my boy! She has a lovely space, nice patio and yard area, and frequently provided the walks. She also spent significant time with him and my boy also had no issues with playing with her Cat (Daisy). I would highly recommend Linda to take care of any pet, as she is an animal lover, with something that animals see from the start that puts them at ease.

Thanks Steve for choosing me as pet companion for your sweet boy while you were away. We definitely bonded and I look forward to his next visit. Miss you Arlo 🐶🐾🐕💛 and I look forward to our next walk and cuddle together. Thanks again Steve for taking the time to share your experience you had with me, as your trustworthy and loving pet sitter. 😊

From the first encounter with Linda, she was very friendly and informative. During her services she was interactive, sharing pics and updates. My dog definitely enjoyed himself. We will use her again in the future. It's nice to know that my dog Otis was well taken care of. He even came home with a new toy. Thanks Linda

Linda's Pet Sitting's reply

Hi Tiffany, it was a pleasure meeting you and having Otis stay with me while you were away. He is such a sweet pup and we enjoyed playing and taking walks together. Anytime you need a pet sitter/boarder, please reach out to me. I am glad that he like his new toy - thanks for taking the time to give me a review. Have a happy New Year Tiffany!
