Introduction
Are you looking for a loving, trustworthy, and caring 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 here to offer a more personal and comfortable alternative. I offer 30 and 60 minute drop-ins, whether it’s for feeding, providing fresh water, giving cuddles, cleaning the litter box, or taking walks and playtime, I’ll make sure your pets feel loved, safe, and well-cared for. I also offer overnight services in your home or mine.

I was a bit apprehensive at first, since I’ve only had family ever watch my pet, but I am so glad I was able to get Linda to watch my precious Evie for me! She was punctual, responsible, and extremely attentive! Linda set up a meet greet where she was able to learn Evie’s routine. She made sure to ask questions regarding food, walking area, and Evie’s sleep situation too. Linda sent various updates of her and Evie chilling and relaxing together. They both looked extremely happy and I think my pup really found a friend! I would highly recommend Linda for your dog sitting needs! Thank you Linda!

Thank you Karla for choosing me to be Evies pet companion while you were away. Evie is so smart, loving and sweet 🐾🐕💛 I am always here if you need me to spend time with her; we definitely bonded and had alot of fun. 🐶💕 I am also glad that you could take a quick getaway worryfree, knowing that Evie was in my loving care. She never gets tired of playing fetch....she cracks me up. 😁🐾

Linda is great with my Dogs! She is the dog whisperer and is very professional and takes time to communicate with you about everything.

Hi Lisa, thanks for choosing me to be your pets companion while you were at a family function. I enjoyed lots of kisses and gave them my love and attention. I am only phone call or text away if you need me to drop in anytime in the future. 🐾🐕 I love buttercup and ridge.

This was my first time using a service for our pups. They were taken on walks, and supervised with playtime outside, and updated us wirh pics throughout their stay. Linda was very sweet, friendly and our pups enjoyed their time with her. I would recommend Linda if you are looking for a sitter who will love and care for your pups like their her own

Linda has a way with pets! I have a 6-year-old Doxy/Corgi rescue who was significantly abused as a puppy. He does not trust people easily, and is something that is generally earned with time. Upon arriving at Linda’s he was almost every immediately comfortable with her, presenting his belly, without a single growl or snarl. I left him with Linda for 5 days and received numerous photos daily or him enjoying life, cuddling, and relaxing. This made my out of town far less stress filled, as I didn't have to worry about my boy! She has a lovely space, nice patio and yard area, and frequently provided the walks. She also spent significant time with him and my boy also had no issues with playing with her Cat (Daisy). I would highly recommend Linda to take care of any pet, as she is an animal lover, with something that animals see from the start that puts them at ease.

Thanks Steve for choosing me as pet companion for your sweet boy while you were away. We definitely bonded and I look forward to his next visit. Miss you Arlo 🐶🐾🐕💛 and I look forward to our next walk and cuddle together. Thanks again Steve for taking the time to share your experience you had with me, as your trustworthy and loving pet sitter. 😊
