Pet care experience

30+ Years experience loving pets!

Hi! I'm Wanda. I am a nurse who just happens to also be a huge animal lover. I have owned and cared for so many animals over the years. I have had dogs, cats, rats, a parakeet, a gerbil, a chinchilla and a ferret. I am an animal lover of all kinds. I would love to help you with your fur babies! I have had cats for 20 years and I have been a dog momma for 26 years. I can care for your baby from puppy or kitten stage up to end of life. I am experienced checking pups blood sugar levels and giving meds or insulin as well as pilling a cat or giving them insulin. We currently have 3 German Shepherds: Zeeke, Scout and Greta and my world revolves around them! I am happy to help you with feeding, pets and scratches, potty breaks...whatever you need help with. My goal is to make your routines my routine. My favorite thing to do is house sitting so your pet can stay in their own environment, keep their own routine and have someone to snuggle with overnight while you are gone. Keeping their routines definitely minimizes anxiety while you are gone. I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, and I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for each and every dog (and cat) in my care. My client roster even includes a rabbit and a Bearded Dragon! I like to do a meet and greet with every animal I am going to sit for. I want to make sure the pet and the owner are comfortable with me. I bring my homemade dog treats with me as a ice breaker. I also then bring my treats back when I come to your home while you are gone. Dogs seem to remember me very quickly and I have no problem entering the home to care for them. I have not met a dog yet that does not like me or my treats! While you are gone, I will keep YOUR routines with your pets. I will take great photos of your pets and send you multiple updates while you are gone so that you can be assured your babies are being well cared for. I love on your pets as if they were my own. I would love to help you out and help care for your babies.

Safety, trust & environment

When I house sit for you or do a drop in, my routine is YOUR routine. If you want me to let your dog out for a potty break, play fetch or just cuddle on the couch, that is what I do. I want to keep your pet on their usual schedule and routine. This minimizes any anxiety related to you being gone.

House Sitting • Juni 01, 2026

Wanda did a wonderful job caring for our Cavapoo, Cece, and our cat, Cody, over the last three days. We especially appreciated her patience and dedication with Cece, who has congestive heart failure and can be very difficult when it comes to taking her medications. Making sure Cece got her pills on schedule is literally life-saving for her, and Wanda handled it  well. When we returned home, both pets were happy and well cared for, and the house was clean and tidy. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such capable hands. We would absolutely welcome Wanda back !!!

Wanda is pleasant, dependable and detail oriented. I never worry about my animals when they’re in her care.

Wanda is incredibly kind to and patient with my special needs boys. She sends updates often and spoils the pups with her tasty homemade treats.

Wanda was great and communicated the entire time. Charlie and Luna loved the attention she gave them as well as the homemade treats she brought. Will definitely have her watch my babies again.

Schedule

I am currently working from home and I am able to step out anytime to help you with your pets. I am happy to help with meal times or play time. My daily routine is filled with playing ball, playing ball, and playing more ball with my German Shepherds! I am married and my hubs can hold down the fort at home while I come to stay with your pets in your home.

Wanda can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. As an owner of a protective German Shepherd, I know visitors need to approach her a very specific way to gain entry. I would like to know if I need to approach your dog a specific way initially to avoid any issues for either of us.
