I like to know as much as possible about your fur baby…likes and dislikes, their daily routine and more so I can take care of them the way you do!

I love to play and give pets lots of love and attention… if they like it! I am happy to have dogs sit with me on my couch and sleep with me if they like to.

Cat care experience

I had two cats I loved very much named Copley and Max and have taken care of many cats over the years for friends, family and clients. I love to play...if they are interested in playing! I don't mind scooping poop!

Linda did a good job trying to follow my unique instructions while I was traveling (e.g. dealing with pine pellet cat litter, adding water to wet food to make it soupy). But I got the sense she's more of a dog person than a cat person. I paid a higher rate in attempt to get *deep* cat expertise, someone who currently owns cats in their own home and could give medication to a reluctant cat, I don't think Linda has cats now or would be comfortable doing this.

Linda was terrific. She is reliable, detail oriented, and perceptive. She clearly cares deeply about animals. You can be sure your pet will be well cared for.

Linda has been an excellent pet sitter for our cat. She knows how cats have different personalities and is very respectful of our cat’s unique likes and don’t likes. She had cats herself for many years so she really knows how to care for them. She is compassionate, extremely reliable and very, very trustworthy. I highly recommend Linda to care for dogs, too, as she owned her own dog. She has the experience and confidence needed to care for both cars and dogs.

Linda was our regular pet sitter for our hairless guinea pig, Ducky. Linda did an exceptional job caring for our baby, giving her her regular food, fresh cut veggies, and fresh water. She always took time to talk to Ducky and keep her company for a while every day as well, which meant so much to us. We really enjoyed the daily pictures she would send us while we were gone, and engaging with Linda herself before and after a trip was always a pleasure. Linda really loved Ducky, and would ask about how she was doing whenever we ran into her. Beyond Ducky, Linda has a natural bond with all animals and is known in our community as the most caring and reliable pet sitter. You can't go wrong with Linda!
