ABOUT US
Greetings,
my name is Linda Kingsborough and I am the owner of Tickle My
Paws Pet Sitting located in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. While growing
up in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, I was always surrounded by
pets. In fact, animals seemed to trust and gravitate towards
me. I remember constantly telling my mother that when I grew
up, I wanted a zoo at my house. I have always felt a great affinity
with them. I absolutely love to be in the company of animals!
My husband
of 21 years, Steve Kingsborough and I, currently share our home
and lives with several Cavalier King Charles Spaniels,
Chihuahuas, and Yorkies; one cat and two large parrots that have
been with us for 19 years; and our two teenagers. When my family
and I wanted to take a vacation, we always found it difficult to
find someone who would care for our pets, especially our large
parrots. My parrots require a daily diet of fresh vegetables and
fruits and interaction several times a day. Unfortunately, most
people are intimidated by close contact with large parrots. I came
to realize, through friends and co-workers asking me to care for
their pets when they were on vacation, the need for this service.
After years of doing it more as a favor, I decided to leave the
corporate world and do something that I love for a living. Tickle
My Paws was created. I am very excited to incorporate my love for
animals into an opportunity to work with you and your pets.
Tickle My Paws
is:
- Fully

We
realize that knowledge in pets and their
care is
a continual process. Animals themselves teach me
something new every day but I also attend pet sitting conventions
annually. Having years of experience in caring for my own
and
other’s pets,
alertness to changes in behavior, being responsive,
calm, conscientious and reliable, all help to make me the
best pet care professional
I can be. Tickle My Paws is also a member of Pet
Sitters International and is recommended by area veterinarians.
