Linda brings over 25 years of experience in dog kennel and rescue operations, including three years in cage-free dog boarding.
She gained extensive knowledge from her 17 years at Keshet Kennels & Rescue learning from obedience trainers and behaviorists. She is a longtime volunteer for Elderdog Canada, which helps keep older dogs with their elderly humans. Throughout her career, Linda has extended her knowledge through attendance at multiple dog-seminars including those hosted by Cesar Millan.
Linda is experienced with all dog breeds, large and small. She also does basic grooming.
“I give full credit to Looda Kramer my mentor and teacher, who showed me that small and large packs of dogs can thrive, bond and play safely together in a pack environment cage-free. She taught me to be a strong and confident pack leader”.
Brian has always had dogs in his life. Starting with family pets ranging from toy poodles to Labrador retrievers. Brian has experience with large and small breeds living with up to 3 canine companions at the same time. Breeds ranged from Lab-Huskie mix, to German shepherd and a giant Irish Wolfhound. Brian has invested heavily in training and obedience learning.
Linda and Brian are the owners of Bounce & Bark.
We both know how important it is to have trustworthy and experienced care for your pets.
With our combined years of canine knowledge we understand that every pet has unique needs and we are dedicated to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away. Both of us are OHS First Aid and CPR certified.
I highly recommend Linda to care for your fur baby! My Bella is very nervous and gets very frightened when she is away from home and her family. Linda made her feel at ease and was extremely attentive to all of her care.
Linda recently took care of my beloved Yorkie for 3 weeks. I was able to see many photos & videos every day on Facebook. He got tons of exercise & social time with other dogs.
Knowing how well he was cared for during that time gave me complete peace of mind. I even noticed a significant improvement in his manners when he returned back to our home!
I would recommend Linda to anyone.
We can't say enough good things about the care Linda provided for our dog Tanner! As a dog owner, it’s not easy finding someone you trust to care for your furry family member, but Linda has completely exceeded our expectations. She is not only highly professional but also incredibly caring and attentive to my dog's unique needs. When we are away on trips it is comforting to know that my dog truly enjoys his time with Linda.
What really stands out is the level of communication. We always see videos and photos, so we can rest easy knowing Tanner is safe and happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate dog care.
Thanks!
Linda is so great with Maggie. Linda has a way with dogs, her calm, confident, and caring manner has dogs gravitating to her. We feel complete confidence in leaving our dog with Linda.

Callie is incredibly selective about who she loves and trusts, but the moment we mention Linda, her excitement says it all. We feel so fortunate to have someone like Linda to care for Callie where we know she is completely at ease and happy. Thank you, Linda, for the exceptional care and love you show our girl. It means the world to us!
