About
Are you looking for a loving, trustworthy, and reliable professional person to look after your furry family members while you're away? Hi, I’m Linda, the Happy Pet Sitter. I am creating Happy Paws, one visit at a time. My background is in real estate and notary services, but my true passion is caring for animals. If you’d rather not board your pets in a kennel, I’m a full-time pet sitter offering a more personal and comfortable alternative. Book a 30 or 60 minute drop-in, whether it’s for feeding, providing fresh water, giving cuddles, cleaning the litter box, taking walks and playtime OR I also offer overnight visits to make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well-cared for in their own home. I look forward to hearing from you 🐾🐶😸

Linda was super friendly and professional! She did a great job with our husky and corgi! She sent pictures and videos of both our dogs to me each visit! She did two visits per day, one 30 minutes and the other an hour, she let the dogs play for a little bit outside during the hour visit! She even brushed my husky. She is reasonably priced and I highly recommend Linda! Ill definitely use her for pet sitting in the future!

I cant say enough great things about Linda! From the moment we met her, we knew our pets were in the best hands. Shes warm, reliable, and clearly has a deep love for animals. Our dogs immediately took to her, which is a blessing!Linda went above and beyond every single day. She kept us updated with photos and little notes about how the pets were doing, which really helped us relax while we were away. Its such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely. Well absolutely be using Linda againand recommending her to all our friends and neighbors!If youre looking for someone who treats your pets like family, Linda is the one.

What a great experience and individual. We met Linda through a Google search, looked at reviews, and gave her a call. She spent a nice long time at our "meet and greet", with us. Which we really appreciated. Trusting you're pet and house is a big deal. She did an amazing job. We came home to a perfect environment. Trusting someone who can provide such a service is important. Linda is excellent, and we would refer her to anyone.

Thanks Dave for choosing me to be Mr. Sam's pet companion while you were away. He is such a sweet kitty and so loving. We definitely bonded and I look forward to taking care of him in the near future. 🐾😺 He really enjoyed his 1st Churu treat experience and gave me many head butts and purrs to say "thank you".
