Retired Public School Teacher

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets as a side job for the past 20 years and had my own pets. I am currently without a dog/pet. My last two dogs were rescue dogs. I have fostered numerous cats and dogs in addition to having my own. I taught at-risk youth for 28 years and have a healing soul and heart. With people and pets.

Wendy is the absolute BEST!!! She went above and beyond taking care of our two babies (high energy dog and cat). She made sure our dog was let out and played with/walked several times throughout the day, never left him alone for longer than he was able & provided all the love and snuggles! She took excellent care of our home & provided lots of updates and pictures. She gave me such peace of mind being gone for 10 days and I could not recommend someone more. We will definitely be using her for ALL future trips! Best experience I have had on Rover after using for a couple of years now. Wendy is simply the greatest!

Wendy went above and beyond with my pups. She is very personable and easy to work with. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I enjoy boarding my border collie Rosie with Wendy because I know Rosie girl will have all of Wendy's attention and love. Rosie is always very excited to see Wendy (I also use Rover to retain Wendy as a walker), and that is a wonderful relief. I will have Wendy take care of my Rosie as long as she'll have us.

Wendy was great with my dog! She took her on plenty of walks and to a coffee shop! She also sent me plenty of pictures while I was away. Definitely would book with her again!
