The Linearization Theorem for proper Lie groupoids organizes and generalizes several results for classic geometries. Despite the various approaches and recent works on the subject, the problem of understanding invariant linearization remains somehow open. We address it here, by first giving a counter-example to a previous conjecture, and then proving a sufficient criterion that uses compatible complete metrics and covers the case of proper group actions. We also show a partial converse that fixes and extends previous results in the literature.
