Home that’s filled w/ lots of love!

Pet care experience

I love animals and have had them my entire life. I have raised newborn pups and kittens. Also, I love spending time with pets in general and will treat your pets like they are one of kids. They will get to go outside several times a day when they are with me. I love training them to listen as well. I am available most days of the week and most hours of each day. I am a firm believer in giving animals as much love AND exercise as possible. I do require all pets to at least have their rabies shots before coming into my home. If the dogs bite, I will not watch them as I have a child with special needs and don’t want him getting bit. My son mostly plays in his room, but does have free run of the house, so I would prefer if dogs are trained not to jump up if they are medium to bigger dogs, but again he is mostly in his room as he has Down’s syndrome and this is just where he is more comfortable playing, but I still don’t want to take any chances.

What a wonderful and caring lady! My babies were spoiled rotten and taken care of very well! I will be using her services again and again. I have never had them stay at someone's home before. They didn't even miss their house while I was away. That makes me so happy!

Thank you Wendie! You did a fantastic job watching our 9 week old labradoodle. Thank you for sending pictures and for your patience with him. He loved being with you and hardly wanted to go home. You went above and beyond by starting to train him to sit and lay down. Absolutely worth the money than putting him in a kennel. We will use you again in the future and recommend you to others. Thank you again!

Wendie has watched my chihuahua, Lily, and my Shih Tzu Dewey on numerous occasions. Whether I’m out of town or don’t want to leave her alone on a long day, she takes great care of her. There was a while when Dewey had a corneal ulcer and needed eye drops every other hour, so while I was at work, I had Wendie watch him so he could get his eye drops as scheduled. She gave him his medicine on time and sent me pictures while I was at work so I could see how he was doing. I don’t have to worry about my babies stressing out when I’m gone because I know they are in great hands. Also as a plus, she is a photographer, so I will often receive professional photos of my babies! A+

Wendie has always loved animals. She can’t seem to go anywhere, where there are dogs and cats, without wanting to play with them. When she goes to pet shelters, she’s always wanting to save every animal. She really loves taking care of them and loving on them. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter.

Information Wendie O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any special needs, (i.e. sleeps in kennel, only eats at certain times, etc). Also, if they like to go for walks at certain times. I do like to know if they have sensitivities to certain foods so I know to avoid those foods, and if you prefer that they don’t have people food.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs for walks and sometimes hop in the car to go down to the park so they get good exercise. Our favorite place to go for walks is down by the river, the dogs usually love that, lots of different smells for them and very good exercise.
