Information Wanda & Stephen S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet's health, all their routines and any special concerns such as mobility and potty/diapering as well as meals and medications/supplements. Please let me know what activities and routines that your pet enjoys. I will communicate with you beforehand any ideas or suggestions for play, exercise, and interactions that I may have.

A typical day

I always ask and follow the instructions of the pet owner. Before I start an activity, I will consult with the pet owner as well. I've had success with playing catch, leash walking if required, frisbee and exercise within the fenced yard. Inside the games continue at a safer, slower pace interaction with belly rubs and lots of petting and with breaks for potty and water and naps.

I always text or message updates, including your pet's behavior, eating and sleeping pattern. I always strive to keep your pet in their routine as much as possible.

We have recently relocated and were in need of in home pet care for our 11 year old golden doodle. Steve and Wanda came over for a meet and greet and we immediately felt comfortable with their calming presence and obvious love of dogs. In between the meet and greet and the scheduled pet care, our doodle tore her ACL and required surgery. She was 3 weeks post op at the time of the scheduled in home care and Steve and Wanda followed the post op instructions and provided safe care to our pup. We received updates and pictures several times throughout the day. They made us feel comfortable leaving her in their care so soon after a surgical procedure. They were also respectful of our home, they left it in excellent condition. We would very much recommend Steve and Wanda if you are looking for safe and loving care of your fur baby (and home).

Steve and Wanda are just 2 beautiful people who loves animals and to help. We travel a lot overseas to see our parents and they are always willing to stay at our place for a few weeks at a time. During their stay they walk our dogs every day and gave them love and attention like they were their own. Our cat actually picked up some weight something we struggle with, thank you! Our little Pomeranian got sick and Wanda and Steve were on it and eager to help with advice from the Veterinarian. We are so thankful for ever meeting you on Rover. We will use you everytime when you are available.

Steve, I was very distressed to find quite a mess on my floors. You knew that Betty needed to go out regularly. My neighbor, who has cameras (I don’t) said she didn’t see you taking B out. The evidence was left on my floors. I know B has accidents, but what I found was beyond. It looked as though the accidents had been partially cleaned up. I found dried, crusted urine and a couple of dried pools. It took me over 2 hours to clean this up. I’m used to B’s accidents. I get to them straight away and never have to clean up like I did today.
