Wonderful! Linda cared for my cats as if they were her own. I have an old, sick, diabetic cat and she kept in contact with us each day, sometimes twice daily letting us know how my cat was doing. Linda even slept with her on the couch when she wasn't feeling well. A true pet lover, Linda is highly recommended!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I usually go to the clients house a few times before the start date to let the pet and myself get yo know each other.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I know a lot of families don't like to put their pets in a kennel when they have to go out of town ( as I also don't ) so it is nice to have someone you can trust come into your home and give your pets love and care while they are away and not have to worry. One thing I heard one time was be a best friend to your pet until the end!
