A life long love of animals and involvement in animal care finally lead Kelly to found Scarlett Francis Pet Sitting in 2009.

Linda is excited to join Scarlett Francis Professional Cat Care, bringing with her a lifelong passion for animals. From an early age, she earned the title of the neighbourhood pet sitter , officially taking on the role by the age of 12. Linda takes pride in helping cat owners feel assured about their pet’s well-being while they’re away.

Her commitment to animal care extends beyond the personal. Linda has been a dedicated volunteer with the Alberta Animal Rescue Crew Society – AARCS, contributing her time to both the shelter and veterinary clinic. She also volunteers with the Canadian Animal Task Force, and her home is often filled with foster kittens, rabbits, and dogs. Alongside her foster companions, Linda is the proud owner of two cats.

 For Linda, there’s nothing more comforting than curling up with a purring cat. Cats are her favourite animals, and she enjoys discovering their unique personalities and behaviours, whether playful, reserved, or mischievous. She especially finds joy in gaining the trust of more timid or feisty cats, which fuels her passion for fostering. Linda looks forward to meeting new clients and their cherished feline friends.

As a proud pet owner, she has also participated in numberous volunteer events and supported various pet organizations. One notable experience includes volunteering with the MEOW foundation, where she transported 13 kittens from the foundation’s location to a foster family.
