What my clients say:

"We recently moved to Pickens County and needed to find a pet sitter for our two cats. I saw Linda's ad on the bulletin board in Bent Tree. We made contact and set up for a meet and greet.
Linda has pet sat for us three times now. She is absolutely wonderful. I believe she is the best pet sitter we have ever had. Linda is very professional and very experienced. She takes additional courses in her field to expand her knowledge to better care for your pets.
Linda has excellent communication skills which is very important to me. We receive photos with daily updates. I definitely recommend Linda and service."

—KATHY Ciomek

"Linda has been looking after my "boys", Ben and Gerry (black and white cats) for years...they adore her. Every time she comes over prior to looking after them, they rush up to her and insist on being petted! That, to me, is the clearest sign that they are so comfortable with her and want to show their love for what she does for them. Linda always remains so calm and collected despite what I am sure is a hectic schedule, as she is in great demand. But she always carries out her work with care and professionalism. The best......"

—Dorian Gibson

"Choices Pet Sitters always does an outstanding job when caring for your fur babies! You will get detailed updates and photos as well. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my crew when I have to be away.
