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!

Hi Kristen, thanks for choosing me to be Luna's and Kappa's pet sitter while you were away. They were a pleasure spending time with. Both are so loving and happy. Please know that I am only a text or phone call away if you need me to drop in on your pups anytime in the future. 🐾🐶

Best pet sitter EVER!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure that your pets are cared for and loved. Pictures every visit, I never thought my dogs would be able to bond so quickly. Professional, compassionate and caring beyond belief. If you are looking for a pet sitter look no further she’s the absolute best!!!

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 🐾🐕😁💓.
