Hi, I’m Linda, and this is Aruba!

I’ve had dogs my entire life, along with cats, horses, and goats. I’m a retired teacher and special education teacher’s assistant, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am.

In 2014, I began working part time for my sister when she opened her own pet care business. A few years later, in 2017, she convinced me to give pet care a try myself during school holidays, vacations, and summer break. What started as a part time job quickly became something I truly loved.

In 2023, I realized that my passion was with dogs, and I made the decision to leave the education industry and devote myself to caring for pets.

My own dogs, Piccola and Marshmello, passed away in 2018 and 2019. Losing them was incredibly difficult, but the love they gave me has stayed with me and continues to inspire the way I care for every dog I meet.

Then, in August 2025, something very special happened.

A friend of mine was visiting Aruba when she came across the sweetest dog roaming the streets all by herself. As luck would have it, I was traveling to Aruba not long after she found this beautiful girl. My daughters and I met her, and we immediately fell in love.

And just like that, Aruba became part of our family.

Today, Aruba is the happiest little ambassador for everything we love about dogs. She greets every new friend with love, licks, and, of course, plenty of toys.

She has brought so much joy into our lives, and we’re excited for her to bring that same love and happiness to your pups.
