LOVE dogs, had many, love to help:)
Pet care experience
Over the years of my husband and I raising our 2 sons, we have had many dogs......most recently a precious Sky Terrier named Rodney and a Chihuahua named Bear.(in the first pic) Rodney passed away 5 years ago at the age of 15 😢and Bear passed 2022. We currently have no dogs at home with us. I’m an empty-nester and a retired Hairstylist of 29yrs. My husband and I love to travel and don’t feel we can have our own at this time and would love to offer services to others so they know that their pets are in good hands with someone who really cares and loves animals, especially dogs! I have cared for many dogs over the years and understand the anxiety they get when not in their own environment or when their owners leave and sometimes with other dogs. I’m very capable of helping them feel comfortable and loved. We have a beautiful dog run in my complex and a fenced in patio. We love to get out to the beach and go on walks and mostly offer play and snuggle time with your dog! I am very flexible with my time as well. We start the day first thing with a morning walk around the complex for piddle time for our sweet four-legged friend, then breakfast while I drink my tea:) I go to Pilates in the morning and I am usually gone for about 1 1/2-2hrs. My husband mostly works from home and is an amazing help and loves these sweet dog as much as I do! If needed, we have a little gate that we can block off different parts of our home but also provide plenty of space for your dog. We love to go to the beach or park to play fetch, if owner allows.. Or take the dog to a nice outdoor breakfast, lunch and even dinner with us……:Tommy Bahamas is one of our favorites and allows dogs inside as well.😀 On the weekends we will head over to Balboa for a nice breakfast and a walk around the island. Since my husband works from home, there’s usually always someone here:) We allow plenty of walks for bathroom time and exercise all throughout the day. As we wind down for the evening, we usually take a long walk, (if the dogs needs allow) and then dinner. Then it’s cuddle time as we all wind down together for the night. We always take the dog out right before we go to bed:) First and for most, I am very careful of introducing your dog to other dogs on our walks. We have an extra dog bed for those who forget their‘s but we always recommend that they have something like a blanket or their dog bed from home so they feel safe and comfortable. They can also sleep on our bed if they like. We have a nice fenced in large patio with turf. We also have a nice couch cover so the can be by us and relax…..we just want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and loved.
Reviews
Chowder has another great stay with Wendi. We love receiving updates and pictures during her stay. Thanks.
So grateful to have found Wendi and Jon!! We could not have asked for better hosts for our fur baby. We got many updates each day with lots of pictures. Best of all our pup came back SO happy and clearly loved them both so much. She can be shy so this was extra special to us!! Thank you a million times over!!💗🐾
Thank you so much again! I appreciated all the messages and pictures to make me feel comfortable and know he was in such good hands especially being my first time using rover!
Wendi is so sweet and took such good care of my little puppy. She is scared of her own shadow and Wendi helped urge her along. Thank you so much Wendi I would highly recommend Wendi

Home
Information Wendi C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. Definitely bring treats that they are used to and love, it’s helps us have a positive interaction with them. We always try to adapt and accommodate to fit your dogs needs. Especially as I fully understand dogs get anxiety when they’re in a new situation. I will make sure that they feel comfortable and help them adapt. I am willing and able to give medication if needed and make special food that you bring.
A typical day
We love to go on walks especially to wind down before dinner. For the more high energy dogs, there’s a beautiful park across the street that we can play fetch and let your dog run and have fun. We love to walk over to Balboa Island and sit outside and have a nice lunch with your cute four-legged friend. For the lower energy older sweeties we just go with the flow:)
