About
Hi, I’m Linda, the owner of Linda the Happy Pet Sitter. I believe that when you are away, your pets shouldn’t have to deal with the stress of a kennel. Instead, they deserve the comfort, safety, and pampered routine of their own home. ​I specialize in premium, high-touch pet care for clients who prioritize quality over quantity. By intentionally limiting my client list, I am able to provide your furry family members with the dedicated, specialized attention they deserve. Whether you are heading out for a long-awaited vacation or a business trip, I am here to provide a personalized "staycation" experience for your pets. ​Why choose my premium care? ​Professional Reliability: With over 20 years of experience serving our community as a Realtor and Notary, I bring a level of professionalism, integrity, and home security expertise that is unmatched. You aren’t just trusting me with your pets; you are trusting me with your home. ​Specialized Focus: My services are tailored to travelers. My primary focus is on extended overnight stays and minimum 60-minute drop-in visits. I don’t rush; I focus on providing quality time, companionship, and expert care for both dogs and cats. ​Customized Comfort: Every pet has a unique personality and routine. I take the time to learn exactly what makes your pet feel safe and loved, ensuring their daily schedule remains consistent while you are away. ​Whether it is a cat who needs a little extra attention, or a dog who needs a calm, reliable companion for an overnight stay, I am committed to creating "Happy Paws" every single day. ​I am currently accepting inquiries for upcoming travel dates. Let’s schedule a time to chat to see if we are a PAWsitive fit. If yes, we can pick a day and time to do a meet and greet. I look forward to providing your pets with the premium, loving care they need while you enjoy your time away. 🐾😺🐶😁💛 ​

Linda is great with our 3 dogs. I highly recommend her for all your petsitting needs. We were so thankful for her loving care she gave Blake, Brady and Birdee.

Thanks for choosing me to take care of your sweet fur babies Pam. We shared lots of cuddles and bonded during my overnight stays. 🐾🐕😁🧡 I look forward to spending more time with them in 2026 when you plan your next vacation. Creating Happy Paws is what I love to do 🐾🐾

Thank you Matt for the positive feedback. It was my pleasure taking care of your sweet pups while you were out of town. After 6 days together, we definitely bonded 🐾🐕😁💓.

Linda was outstanding with our Fur babies. We were slightly worried because this is our first time with her, but she put all those worries that we had to rest right away. Our Fur babies took right to her. She treated them as they were her own. It was like she was a member of the family right from the start. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Thanks for the PAWsitive review and choosing me as your dedicated pet sitter when you go away. I love spending time with your three precious four-legged furry family members. My next overnight stay is coming up and I am looking forward to giving them more of my love and attention while you are out of town. Have a PAWTastic day. 🐕😁👍

Linda is amazing! She watched my three cats (Gloria, Gilbert, and Daisy) over Christmas and did a phenomenal job. Shes reliable, communicative, and very sweet. It was the first time I felt totally relaxed leaving them during the holidays.The daily photos and videos reassured me that they were well taken care of. I highly recommend Linda for anyone looking for an stress-free pet sitting experience!
