About Linda

Hi my name is Linda and I am a proud pet mumma. I have a senior dog called Ollie, he has just turned 18! Ollie has been with me since he was 5 weeks old. The day I got him, and took him in for his first vet check, they told me he would most likely not live 24 hours. I refused to let that happen, and through love and nurturing he is still going strong 18 years later. Update my Ollie has just passed at 18 years and 3.5 months of age. He live a long happy life and I miss him so much. Looking after your fur baby, will be an honour.

I am an extremely attentive pet owner and sitter and would love to look after your furbaby when you need a trustworthly and reliable sitter. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. Over the years, I have owned cats and dogs. I'm looking to also introduce a rabbit or two to my family. And one day in the future, I'd love a cow and a donkey!

I have a big house with a large fenced front and back yard. We also have a choice of parks nearby. I live a 2 minute walk from a vet for extra piece of mind. The yard is fully fenced. There is a verandah for shade and protection from the sun and rain. I am happy for toilet trained dogs to be indoors anytime day and night. The house has heating and air conditioning and I ensure pets are comfortable at all times. I can even cook special meals for those fussy eaters (please supply food). Your fur baby will be the entire day. The only time I'd potentially be apart is for me to go and buy food. That absolute maximum I would away would be 1 hour for day care and 2 hours for overnight boarding.

I can be available for home visits, doggy day care and over night stays in my house. I potentially can also do overnight stays at your place, however my preference is in my own home. 

Walks - I can manage up to 6 dogs at once but I prefer to do one on one. Walk times and times per day vary depending on the needs of your pooch. I am fully flexible.

Pet care is going to be my FT job. I do teach dance a few times a week 45 mins to one hour sessions near by. I will be able to be with your fur baby as much as a stay at home caregiver. My visits can last up to 1 hour if your pet needs. Most day visits would need 30 mins. Happy to water plants, collect mail too.

Pets can sleep in my room, and toilet trained pets can go anywhere in the house they like. I look after my elderly mother that watches tv all day. They can have their own bed, and space or if they prefer a cuddle at night, I am there for them.

My gardens are large and suitable to non fence jumping dogs as they are not extremely high fences. Apart from the back yard. They would be supervised.

I am well accustomed to giving oral medications, such as tablets, eye and ear drops too. I am extremely sensitive to the needs of senior dogs. They have my heart and full empathy.

I'd love to answer any questions you may have and find out if I can be the perfect sitter for your beloved pet.

I have a police check and WWCC
