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 Insured
• Bonded
• Certified in Animal First-aid

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.
