“I am so grateful they were able to drop in on such short notice! They also took pictures and were communicative when needed. I would book with them again!”


“My cat rarely warms up to people - it requires patience and persistence - and Tawnia took the time to win her over! I will definitely be rebooking with Tawnia and highly recommend her services.”


“Cheri did a great job dropping in on our pets and reassuring them when we traveled! She was consistent and timely, sent great pictures, and our animals were clearly happy and at ease with her. We are very happy and hope to work with her again in the future!”


“My only experience with a dog sitter and I’m so happy we went with them. I have 3 dogs and one is fearful of most things especially humans and he warmed up to them eventually. Thats a huge deal for us and we are beyond grateful to find people we can trust for our pack. ❤️”


“I'm one of Brigit's very happy repeat clients. She is efficient, reliable, and very good at this. I am confident that my kitties are in good hands with her!”


“Patrick is so amazing. I am very grateful for his help with taking care of my pup. He is so flexible and accommodating with scheduling. My dog absolutely loves him.”


“Avery was amazing with our old lady Dixie. The photos she sent to us during our trip made me know that our pup was well taken care of. Avery was always on time, provided great feedback on the visit and when we came home Dixie was calm and relaxed. We will definitely be rebooking her!”


“Hos was wonderful to meet, and my timid kitties liked her right away. She has kept me updated with pictures. I felt so much better traveling knowing she would be checking on my cats.”


“I am so grateful to have found Seneca! This was my first trip away from my two fur babies. Seneca was terrific and did a great job taking care of everything! I loved the pictures she sent me each day of my kitties ? and the updates! Thank you again Seneca for doing such a great job!”


“Kimberly took excellent care of my 4 fur babies. They all seem healthy and happy. I think they miss the loves, treats, and playing that Kimberly gave twice a day. Above and beyond service provided, even brought in packages and cleaned litter boxes. I will definitely rebook for our next vacation.”



“Booking Jana to watch over my two gremlins was probably one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. This was my first time using Rover, or any pet-sitting service for that matter, so obviously I had apprehensions (pretty private individual, yadda yadda). Jana was perfect. She came and met the two clouds a couple of days before the trip and set expectations clearly. Super-communicative and responsive, even when I changed the plan around at the last second (sorry again, btw). More importantly, the daily check-in photos of the cats was, unexpectedly, a huge bright spot in the days I was out - they were grateful for the company and now I'm suspicious they actually prefer her around over me.”


“Brooke did a great job of taking care of my fur babies! She sent pictures and kept me updated on how they were doing! I’ll be re-hiring her in the future :)”


“Max dropped in to check on my two cats, fed and gave them some attention twice a day over Memorial Day weekend. I found them in good condition on my return. Thanks, Max!”


“Kayla was amazing, never had a single worry, she sent pics and kept us updated which was wonderful. I would highly recommended using her for any pet needs.”


About: Hello my name is Wendy. I am an assertive individual with a calm energy, who is flexible on size and breed, and with over ten years experience providing pet care. I own vehicle that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably and take 2-3 walks daily, even in inclement weather. I have the flexibility of caring for puppies and understand the need for frequent potty breaks as well as playtime opportunities for socialization. I often board dogs from multiple families concurrently, and provide separate areas for meal time in order to keep feeding time safe. Play time is supervised and breed appropriate toys are available upon request to ensure a safe fun stay. If I am required to leave the house while caring for your pet, I separate all dogs and have a large crate available if needed I am self employed and able to make my own schedule. This allows me to accommodate a variety of needs that my clients may have. At my current residence, I have a fenced in back yard to allow for safe off leash exploration. I also, as mentioned, provide separate eating areas, to ensure a safe environment during mealtime.

Wendy H.Star Sitter
“Wendy has been a part of our "family" for over 10 years, starting as a babysitter and moving into the roles of dog-walker and family assistant. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She is a great communicator and alerts me well in advance when she'll miss a walk and works with me to reschedule. She is sensitive, giving dogs the love and attention they need, and strong enough to walk a few large dogs at once. I highly recommend Wendy!”
