About My Business

I have lived in Brazoria County for 58 years. I currently live just north of both Lake Jackson and Richwood city limits which makes it quick and easy for me to get to areas quickly. I also service Surfside as I have a home there. I have adored (loved) animals since I could remember and have always had dogs, cats, and horses with an occasional raccoon, squirrel, rabbit, goose, and for a short period a skunk! I am a 62 year old Christian wife, Mom, and Grandma who has always been the one that friends and family called upon to take care of their animals. I decided to become a Pet Care Professional after feeling "let down" in a kennel situation. I felt there had to be a better solution to pet care. Everyone that knows me will tell you that I am a passionate animal lover. I have a special love for rescue animals... I'm very comfortable with large dogs having owned GSDs my adult life but I love the little ones too. I feel that pets give us so much more than we give them, their unconditional love amazes me... I chose to call my service "Au Pair" since I feel like I give love and attention to your pets like a nanny would instead of "just a pet sitter". Daily emails/pictures/texts or phone calls to keep you informed on conditions at your home and with your pets are part of my service. I strive to help you and your pets enjoy your vacation by caring for your home and animals with a personal touch. I believe in quality care not quantity care so I try to only book 3 or 4 clients per day. I want you and your pets to have a good experience with my service and attention to your pet's needs and routine is of importance to me. I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

After high school I began working at Dow Chemical where I was a firefighter/EMT/security officer and later on I was an emergency services and security dispatcher (30 years). My security and emergency background will help me in my pet and housesitting as I am very observant and very comfortable if the need arises to contact your local law enforcement agency to keep your home and animals safe. My husband and I live just north of Richwood on 2.5 acres. Currently we "owned" by our rescued German Shepherd Dog, Toya.

What my clients say:

"Our 5 cats are our babies, so I take leaving them in someone else’s care very seriously. With Linda, I don’t worry because I know they are in good hands and will be treated with great kindness. She has pet sat for us on multiple occasions and we are blessed to have her care for our furbabies. She has a genuine love and compassion for animals.
Pet sitting is not a side job for Linda. She is a full time, certified professional pet sitter and she takes it seriously. She goes to pet sitting seminars and workshops to continue her pet care education.
It’s comforting to have someone I trust to take care of our cats in their own home where they are comfortable instead of boarding them, which we don’t consider as an option. And she doesn’t just come over long enough to feed and clean. She spends time giving them attention and playing games with them.
We appreciate the daily reports and pics she texts us each day. It’s something we look forward to because it keeps us connected with our pets while we’re away.
I highly recommend Linda as someone trustworthy and dependable with your pet family and I refer my own friends to her. Thank you Linda for all you do for us!
