About the Owner

Purple Paw was created by Linda Dalziel, and has an extensive background in animal behavior and care.

Growing up, Linda's assorted loved companions included cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, and constant exposure to cows, ponies and horses on her Grandparents' farm.

Having always nurtured a deep love for horses, Linda was hired on at the prestigious Bennett Farms, located at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, shortly after her arrival in Los Angeles. There, she not only cared for their award winning saddlebreds, but tended to the needs of their celebrity clientele as well.

Being an Equestrian herself with her own collection of ribbons, Linda taught beginning riders in hunt seat, stock seat (Western), and saddleseat equitation.

After enjoying a successful career as a touring backing vocalist, and songwriter, Linda decided to pursue her love for animals.

Her company Purple Paw Pet Sitting Service was an instant success! And, her elite clients benefit from a lifetime of Linda's animal care knowledge, as well as her personal experience of knowing what it is like to travel, leaving pets behind. Her service provides superb, individualized care, and her client's pets benefit directly from her deep love for all animals.

Purple Paw is owner operated, and also has a small, intimate hand picked staff available for back up and busy seasonal bookings.

As a young adult, she rescued unwanted parrots from breeders in Chicago, who approached birds as product, and would discard them when unproductive. At one point, she had acquired 27 breeding pairs, which included parakeets, love birds, cockatiels, cockatoos, African Greys, and Macaws! Through this experience, she became knowledgeable in care, hand feeding, and raising exotic birds.
