Linda

We’ve used several pet sitter services over the years and have had a variety of experiences, so I was a bit concerned. We have 2 dogs and 3 indoor cats and all are 10 years or older. We were fortunate to find Linda for our 8 day trip. Once we met her, I felt huge relief knowing we had an experienced, caring person to stay home with our pet family. Our oldest dog presents house-keeping challenges and Linda stepped up like a champ. Her daily communications were much appreciated too. We highly ...

We highly recommend her for in-home pet care for your next vacation.

I went on vacation for 7 days and left Linda to care for my two large dogs. She sent pictures and communicated with me almost every day. She even had to deal with the unexpected. A strong windstorm came through and she lost power at the house for nearly 24 hours, but kept the dogs company and safe. One of my two dogs is does require a bit more care as far as medications are concerned and she met the requirements with ease.

One of my two dogs is does require a bit more care as far as medications are concerned and she met the requirements with ease. Upon return from the vacation, the dogs were happy to see me, but make no mistake I can tell they were very well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to request Linda's services in the future.

First off, We met Linda several weeks before our trip for a Meet and Greet. We have 5 cats and usually they are standoffish with new people. Wouldn't you know, MOST of them came around to sniff, come upon her for pats and rub. So that was a good sign!. Linda was very accommodating when we added days to our trip ( 4 weeks). As it was I was missing my cats and wanted to come home early. Linda took very good care of our kitties. They were very curious about her quilting and knitting process so ...

As it was I was missing my cats and wanted to come home early. Linda took very good care of our kitties. They were very curious about her quilting and knitting process so they kept her company. She had a basket which they all had to try out! She texted daily with pictures. She contacted me with all issues. She has traveled extensively so she gave advice about where to go on our trip, ( Southwestern Regions). Linda is Communicative, Cat whisperer, travel agent.

This was the first time using HSA - Linda was a perfect fit for our 3 dogs. She came to our home once to meet our family to see if we were the right fit. She then came early to see our routines and get settled as we had an early flight out the next AM. Linda sent us daily communication and pictures of the dogs, sharing what they were doing and any crazy antics they may be done. She is a PRO when working with dogs. Her confidence and calmness were such assets in our home. When we arrived home ... MOREThis was the first time using HSA - Linda was a perfect fit for our 3 dogs.

Thank you!

This was my first experience with House Sitters America and it was a great one! I was looking for a person who would care for my two geriatric Great Danes. They don't require much exercise but love a lot of human company and have all the complications you would expect with an aging large breed dog. When Linda applied, I immediately thought she would be the one and my intuition was correct. She was loving and kind with them and accepting of their quirkiness. She has a wonderful sense of humor as ... MOREThis was my first experience with House Sitters America and it was a great one!

When Linda applied, I immediately thought she would be the one and my intuition was correct. She was loving and kind with them and accepting of their quirkiness. She has a wonderful sense of humor as well as excellent communication skills. She gave updates regularly. When I arrived home my pups were calm - almost as if I'd just been gone a few hours - what a gift! As a parting gift Linda gave me yummy homemade pickled vegetables and sour cherry preserves. I would highly recommend Linda!!!

Wow! We were beyond pleased with Linda as our pet and house sitter and we give her our full endorsement. Linda stayed in our home for a week and cared for our high emotional needs dog. Our dog is a 10-year old 50lb cattle dog. Things that stand out about Linda are her; -Clear communication prior to, during and after her dog sit... Linda kept a daily report of the day and sent us fun photos to keep us updated and at ease. She was always available via phone and email and was so thoughtful ... MOREWow!

Linda kept a daily report of the day and sent us fun photos to keep us updated and at ease. She was always available via phone and email and was so thoughtful and thorough in her communication -Her attention and consideration of our rules and requests. Linda went above and beyond and we easily trusted her thoroughly. Our neighbors also contacted us regarding how impressed they were with seeing Linda out and about and caring for our dog. -Her overall character and responsible, considerate nature. Linda was a pleasure to converse with and we even came home to a succulent plant gift she left for us. So thoughtful!! Linda is a genuine lovely and responsible person and we would use her again in a heartbeat! Best of luck, Linda!

Linda was a delightful person. She came a day early, so we could get to know her and show her around. She sent pictures of our animals and updates quite often, which we appreciated. Our house and animals were in great shape when we arrived home. Would definitely have her housesit again.

It was a pleasure to have Linda dog/housesit. She was very thoughtful and took good care of my furry family member. A plant died while she was in my home and she replaced it which was above and beyond any expectations that one might have. I recommend her without reservation and would welcome her back in the future.

This was the first time using HSA and we got really lucky with Linda! Since she lives relatively close to us we were able to meet her at our home the week before going out of town. She was engaged and communicative, attentive and easy to talk to. While we were away we received some cute pics of our cats via text (which I really appreciated!) and updates here and there to let us know all was OK back home. We felt completely comfortable handing our house key to Linda, I wouldn't hesitate to ... MOREThis was the first time using HSA and we got really lucky with Linda!
