I was new to the Wilmington area, did not know anyone and needed to travel for five days. I found Linda on Thumbtack and sent her an email. She followed up almost immediately with a phone call. We made an appointment for her to meet which she was right on time for and my dog Hooks took to Linda like they were best buddies. She came to visit Hooks once more before my trip and was again right on time the day I left. Linda stayed at my house while I was away and during the trip she kept in touch with texts and photos. When I returned my apartment was as I left it with the bonus of the Sunday paper waiting for me. It was clear from the moment I met Linda that she was an animal lover and very out going, respectful and responsible person. Linda will be the first and only person I call whenever I need to leave my dog at home. Thanks for the peace of mind Linda.

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!
