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.

“Stacy is a wonderful care giver to my two older cats who I have worked with several times over the past year. She is a great communicator and very trustworthy. I highly recommend and would gladly work with her again in the future. Thank you for all your great care, Stacy!”

About: Living with all types of animals since I was born! One dog, two cats and two lizards in home! Three years in professional pet care, exotic care included! Aspiring vet! I currently work part time with flexible hours. Looking for a reason to switch to pet care full time! I’d love to take care of your animal and hour of the week! I like to spend time with animals in my care. Try to let me know your animal’s favorite activities! If you’re looking for a pet to be cared for in my home, I have a female husky, and two female cats, all spayed. If you have a cat or dog that doesn’t get along with the other half. We keep the cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. No need for interaction if your pet doesn’t prefer it!


About: I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with dogs. I've fostered several pups—one of whom I adopted—and truly understand canine behavior, needs, and comfort. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family in a safe, loving environment that feels like home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work a part-time remote internship with a flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day, allowing me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s regular walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping pets company, I’m available when needed and always prioritize their well-being and comfort. In my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I keep pets supervised, ensure they have plenty of enrichment, and create cozy spaces for rest. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their familiar surroundings and routines, keep the space clean, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. In both cases, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience and attentiveness.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them. Being retired I can spend as much time as needed to care for your fur babies. My versatile schedule allows me availability to be with them whenever needed to let them out, play, feed and check on them. I look forward to meeting them, and you. I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.

“Kim is the best...there is really no better way to say it. She is a passionate and caring advocate for people and pets alike, and I have been privileged over the last 30 plus years to see how she pours her heart and soul into caring for those around her. She has traveled the USA with her dogs and cats, and never fails to update us on their progress and the fun things they have done as a family. The dogs and cats were not just pets...they are family to Kim, and their lives were the best they could be under her watchful eye. Kim is one of the best people I've met, and having her with you and your pets means you have brought in family...she has my trust, my respect, and best wishes in everything she does. You'd be blessed with Kim in your family as well. She has my highest recommendation.”
Fair West pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and Blake made me feel comfortable right away. Blake was very professional and you could tell that they loved animals and truly cared about their well being. I received daily updates and pictures of my cuties as well as overall reassurance that all was going well while I was gone. Thanks Blake! I’ll definitely rebook in the future!

Winston loves Kat! He’s always happy to see her, and he has a great time playing and cuddling with her. I feel completely comfortable leaving W with Kat. I appreciate that she communicates quickly whenever there’s a question. She’s the best sitter I’ve had in years!👍
