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.

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.

Information Wanda I. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I will do any specific activities that you request. I would love to know what your dog enjoys doing. We can go for a walk, we can work dog puzzles or we can chase balls! My pups can confirm I am a world class ball chucker!

Pet care experience

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.

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 exactly the kind of person you want to watch your pets. She is trustworthy, communicative, and is a total animal lover who makes sure your pets feel loved and get the attention they need while you’re away. Thank you!

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