About: With over 400 hours of volunteer service at my local animal shelter, two years of hands-on internship experience at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter, and countless hours spent pet sitting a wide variety of animals—from horses to hamsters—I have developed a deep understanding of animal care and behavior. My diverse background has taught me how to respond to the unique needs of each animal, whether it's providing comfort, administering care, or simply offering companionship. This combination of formal training, volunteer service, and real-world experience makes me a dedicated, responsible, and knowledgeable caretaker who will treat your pet like family. Taking care of animals is part of my everyday life. I start with my own pets—feeding, walking, and giving them some love. Then I head out for pet sitting and dog walking jobs. Every day’s a mix of walks, feedings, playtime, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make it a priority to meet every animal’s individual needs—whether that means administering specific veterinary care or simply offering comfort, play, and companionship. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and health requirements. For some, that might involve giving medications on schedule, managing special diets, or monitoring for specific health concerns. For others, it could be making sure they get plenty of playtime, long walks, or just quiet snuggles on the couch. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment, treating every pet as if they were my own.
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life! Over the last 13 years, I’ve raised my Jack Russell Chihuahua mix from puppy to healthy senior. Like most millennials, I bought the house with a yard for my dog! I work from home in the tech industry, which allows me to spend all day with your pups, giving them attention throughout the day, taking them for regular walks and potty breaks, and tending to their needs. I live on a quiet block with a peaceful enclosed backyard. I would love to host your fur babies! Full time work from home, flexible schedule that allows for multiple potty breaks and walks. My dog usually walks 3 times a day (15 min each), which I could easily incorporate an additional dog to the walks. The back door is kept open weather permitting for dogs to sniff, sunbathe, and explore. Each pet’s care is unique! Whether that is walking them alone, specific dietary needs, or toys that are off limit. I work closely with you and your pet to tailor to their needs, and ensure a happy and comfortable stay. I always suggest a meet and greet prior to first stay, so we can review your expectations, learn more about how to best communicate with your pet, and ensure we are on the same page for care needs.
“Amazing first time experience using Rover. My dog travels everywhere with me and I generally worry about her, but not this time. Wendi was wonderful with Cami. Cami loved going every morning and that made my days less stressful. I wish I lived near so I would have Wendi as part of my support system.”

“Michael and Karen C were THE BEST. My dogs were very well cared for. I received pictures of them during their stay. They were flexible when I had trouble with traffic and arrived late. When there was a payment problem, they spent much time and effort to make it right. When I had yo cancel two visits with short notice they refused to take compensation. No hesitation to give them 5 stars!!”

Erika H.
“I was really nervous to leave my pup for the first time with someone new, but Erika was a game changer. Her attentiveness and genuine care put me at ease from the get go- right from our first conversations she showed that she truly cares about a premium level of hospitality for dogs under her supervision (since she is also a dog mom herself). My dog and hers met prior to my trip so they could get acclimated and they ended up being the best of playmates! She would regularly send me videos of them playing in the backyard, on walks, lounging and looking so comfy and at peace at her home, which made me SO SO happy he was in good hands. No doubt will be using Erika again!!”

Dan is really great with my female dog. She usually has anxiety but she feels safe and comfortable and likes playing with the other dogs. Dan also communicates effectively and updates me with pics and videos of doggy which is so nice to see when I’m away from her.
Vi was wonderful! She was kind enough to take us as a last minute booking for our 10 year old Kai Ken while we were on vacation and our original sitter had to cancel. We booked for a daycare sitting while we went to dinner for a couple of hours down the street. Even though it was a very short stay, she took our girl on a nice walk while we were gone and even kept us updated on how she was doing. Our girl ended up having an upset stomach during her stay (probably due to travel stress) and Vi handled it with such grace! This was the first time we’ve EVER left our girl with a stranger in 10 years and Vi made it such an stress-free experience for us. Thank you Vi!
Very positive experience from the start, Maria offered wonderful communication and is extremely kind. My puppy Loomi immediately liked her and came back happy and content. She is a reliable sitter and I'd be happy for her to care for my little girl in the near future. Thanks again! 🐶
Jessica and Chase were amazing sitters for my fur baby. They were communicative throughout the day sending updates, pictures, and videos. It is clear how much they enjoy being around pups. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, fun and attentive sitter. My dog had the best day with them! Thanks again, Jessica and Chase!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience with Lisa! From the very beginning, she was warm, compassionate, and incredibly communicative—exactly the kind of person you want caring for your dogs. She took the time to truly understand both of my pups, their routines, quirks, and personalities, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while I was at work. Lisa went above and beyond, showing a level of care and flexibility that gave me total peace of mind. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which meant so much. It was clear my dogs absolutely adored her. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dogs like her own, look no further—Lisa is an absolute gem. We’re so grateful to have found her!
Marsha was wonderful to have London stay with! She was very attentive and communicative, sending multiple updates throughout the day!
I had to leave town for a quick work trip and felt peace of mind leaving my dog Billy in Peyton’s care. Would book with her again. Thanks Peyton!
Carey and his wife were amazing with our senior dog! He can get anxious in new places but they made him feel so comfortable. He looked so relaxed there and we got so many amazing updates on him throughout the day. I would definitely recommend them!
Monica watched over my dog when we were in a pinch. I appreciate her taking care of him. He was happy in her care.
Dristi was amazing! She was willing to meet us the day before for a meet and greet and make sure our dog was comfortable with her. She had our girl for a long day and took incredible care of her! She even took her on some fun outings. We would highly recommend Dristi to anyone needing their pet cared for!
I was in town for a conference and my girls didn’t want to stay alone in the room so I needed a last minute booking. Julian was quick to response and answered my questions promptly. Truly a life saver. He was able to pick up my girls and was attentive to my details. Even if last minute I am so happy I got to find Julian last minute.
Kyra was FANTASTIC! We are so happy that we found her. She sent me updates and photos throughout the day and my dog absolutely loved staying with her. I felt very comfortable the entire time that my dog was in her care. She truly cares about dogs and took special care of my fur baby. Thank you SO much, Kyra!
Nicholas and Hannah were very communicative and responsive. I would not hesitate using Nicholas and Hannah again to watch Milo! He sent plenty of pictures for dog sitting our Milo!
Silvia did absolutely amazing with Marie! She made me feel very comfortable to leave my puppy and sent me photos throughout the day. Will definitely use her again!
Emily is absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t recommend enough!! Velzy loved her doggie day care and came home totally exhausted every day. Emily sent tons of pictures which I loved. Made me feel so comfortable and I wasn’t worried at all leaving velzy in her care. Will absolutely book with her again!
Maximus loved them! Great communication and sent photos like I asked. Very comfortable environment. Would highly recommend!!!!
Haley is THE best sitter ever!! She takes such good care of my pup, she’s super communicative and sends updates of how the day is going which I love getting while I’m at work. My dog lovesss her and it’s so relieving knowing he’s in such good hands. We love Haley!!! :)
Amazing, friendly people. Extremely professional and caring, they sent us photos of our dog throughout the day. We are happy we found you guys! 🥰💯🙏🏼
I can’t thank Chris enough for being an awesome sitter for my baby, Rambo! From the very beginning of booking, he was super responsive and communicated with me as I get very protective of my dog and he made me comfortable leaving Rambo in his care. During his daycare, Chris sent me pictures of Rambo having his own little doggy party at the dog park, making me feel happy knowing Rambo was having a blast. The best sign was when I picked up Rambo and he actually started whining for Chris after he took off, showing that he cared for him and was already missing him. That made my day! Thank you Chris for being awesome and will definitely book again once I’m back in Cali.
I couldn’t be happier with the care my sassy, super needy chihuahua received! Jayme was incredibly flexible and accommodating and kept me updated throughout with pictures and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such kind, responsive hands. Highly recommend!
