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 🐾🐶😸

I cant recommend Linda enough! She took amazing care of my three dogs while I was away on a cruise, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. Communication was excellent from start to finishshe kept me updated with messages, videos and a ton of adorable photos, which I absolutely loved receiving. My dogs were clearly happy, well-cared for, and loved. Thank you, Linda, for going above and beyond!

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.

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!
