Pet care experience

Lots of love. Lots of room to play.

I love all dogs; I've never met one I didn't like. I'm not a pet owner; I'm a dog parent. I'm a former tech executive working at home and always available for your dog. I have a secured-access gated apartment with very large patio. I would love to look after your dog (up to 20 pounds) in my home. Your dog will get a minimum of four walks a day. I'd love to meet and greet you in advance to address any concerns you may have. About my yard Large private secured patio. Great for chasing a ball or sunb My experience administering medication I am experienced in giving shots, doing subcutaneous fluids with a drip line, and administering oral medications. OTHER: DUE TO THE LARGE INCREASE OF FRAUD ON ROVER, ALL POTENTIAL CLIENTS WILL BE VETTED IN ADVANCE.

Wanda is the best dog sitter ever! I think our Pomeranian Rosey was happier with her than us!

Wanda is an amazing dog sitter that understands dogs very well! My 3 year old French Bulldog Zumi had a blast with Wanda! He is full of energy and is on a prescription diet and Wanda was attentive to his needs plus overall cared for Zumi. I loved the consistent updates through text and photos and I could tell he was having a great time. She lives in a nice neighborhood in Long Beach, CA and Zumi went on lots of walks throughout his stay. Highly recommend Wanda!

Wanda was the best puppy sitter ever! I was afraid my pomeranian Rosey wouldnt want to come home with us. She sent many photos while we were away and Rosey looked so happy! I will be using Wanda again!

We left our 3+ year dog with Wanda recently. This was our first time trying rover and it seems Wanda loved & pampered our dog a lot! Wanda is in a nice neighborhood in Long beach which made us feel safe leaving our dog with her. She sent pictures throughout & her conversations made us feel she is very experienced with dogs & understands them. Our dog hasn’t been around other dogs so we really appreciated that she only takes 1 client at a time. She made extra effort to make our dog feel comfortable with Gidget as well. We will definitely reach out to Wanda next time we need dog boarding!

Doggy Day Care • Jan 16, 2016

Wanda is great!! A ten star dog sitter! Our dog, Slim, loved spending time with her and he adorable dog Gidget, and we felt so good knowing he was in her loving and capable hands. Wanda sent me daily pictures and even a video of the dogs playing, and many updates throughout the day, which I loved receiving. We are new to the area and I was crazy nervous about leaving him...but we could not have had a better experience. THANKS Wanda!!
