Bay Area Pet Pals owner, Lynda, began with “Super Scoopers” in 1989. Her business was one of the first doggie yard clean up services in existence.

Shortly after opening, word spread that such a service existed. Soon “Super Scoopers” was asked for interviews on station KNBR 68’s Frank and Mike radio show, the Alex Bennett show on KMEL, and several other local stations.

Eventually, Steve Rubenstein, reporter for the SF Chronicle, heard of the service and asked to ride along for a day. He wrote a full column about Lynda’s business and her service for pets. As the “Super Scoopers” business grew, customers asked for more. Therefore, “Super Scoopers” added pet & house sitting services, pet food & supply delivery, dog walking, and pet taxi services.

Taking a few years off to raise a family and succeed at other endeavors; Lynda and her crew are ready to share their experience and expertise in pet care once again – as Bay Area Pet Pals!

Lynda knew at an early age that she would eventually work with animals. As a child, she was always the one to bring home various stray animals or take in pets that friends could no longer keep. After high school, Lynda attended school for veterinary assistants. She eventually realized that a daily dose of suffering and sick animals would not be the best way to share her love of pets.

Lynda completed volunteer work for a few local animal shelters, and ended up adopting many pets in hopes to save them from euthanization.  Unfortunately, it proved to be stressful and she stopped after taking home 13 cats and 4 dogs.

Bay Area Pet Pals is Lynda’s dream of working with animals on a daily basis. It is a joy for her to assist people with their loved pets.  She gets a daily pet "fix" and loves every minute of it.

Lynda’s husband, Eric, works for a commercial property management company in Palo Alto as CFO and partner. In his spare time, he shares Lynda’s love of animals and occasionally helps with Bay Area Pet Pals customers.
 
Lynda and Eric’s sons have much experience caring for pets, walking dogs, cleaning yards and litter pans as well.

Oldest son, Lars, is attending UC Davis and studying Mechanical Engineering. He has a 4.3 GPA and he is also an Eagle Scout and Lynda and Eric are very proud. Lars’ love for the family pets and the outdoors means he is great help with Bay Area Pet Pals during summers and school vacations.
 
Youngest son, Anthony is attending Carlmont High School. He has 6 years of experience playing alto saxophone with his school’s band and currently trying to each himself to play guitar. Anthony is a Life Scout in the Boy Scouts, and is currently working on an Eagle Project. His love of the outdoors and pets also make him a great help with Bay Area Pet Pals when needed to fill in.
