Wonderful! Linda cared for my cats as if they were her own. I have an old, sick, diabetic cat and she kept in contact with us each day, sometimes twice daily letting us know how my cat was doing. Linda even slept with her on the couch when she wasn't feeling well. A true pet lover, Linda is highly recommended!

Linda was an excellent sitter. She was quick to respond to the request, and was available to start promptly. She came to meet my cat before I left, even though it was short notice. She always spent a good amount of time playing with my cat when she came to visit, and made sure the cat got her exercise and treats! I also requested that she send me photos & updates when she went, and I appreciate that she took the time to do so. I would definitely recommend Linda to watch your pet.

Linda watered our outdoor plants and brought in any packages while we were away for 5 weeks. Plants were thriving upon our return and all packages brought in as requested. Linda answered quickly to any texts I sent and was a delight to work with. I highly recommend!

Linda follows through and genuinely loved my elderly, diabetic cat! She left the house exactly as I found it and sent pictures. I will hire her again!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I usually go to the clients house a few times before the start date to let the pet and myself get yo know each other.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I know a lot of families don't like to put their pets in a kennel when they have to go out of town ( as I also don't ) so it is nice to have someone you can trust come into your home and give your pets love and care while they are away and not have to worry. One thing I heard one time was be a best friend to your pet until the end!
