Pet care experience

Pawsitively Purrfect Care!

My love for pets shines through in every moment I spend with them. My deep bond with animals reflects a lifetime of joy, companionship, and understanding. Whether it's the wag of a dog's tail, or the gentle purr of a cat, or a feisty jump of a puppy, or a nudge from a senior pal, I embrace the unique personality of each pet that I provide care. My care showcases my dedication and nurturing spirit, ensuring that every furry friend feels loved and cherished, just as I have experienced throughout my journey with them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pets tend to feel more comfortable in their own surroundings. I offer in-home visits and walks. This is a great option for pets who prefer familiar scents, routines, and spaces. I maintain their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule, keep litter boxes or outdoor areas clean, and make sure they feel calm and cared for while you're away. I care for your pets as if they were my own—with patience, responsibility, and love. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a happy, safe experience. I provide structured care, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection. Whether your pet is active, shy, elderly, or has special needs, I tailor my approach to ensure they feel secure and well-loved. I typically like to have a consultation to meet the pet and owner and to ensure I can personally care for them and to understand each pets' individual needs. I do understand that in certain circumstances a consultation is not possible and I am willing to consider those jobs as well.

An amazing pet sitter! My cats loved her and were in good spirits when I got home. Very good communication as well. Also helped me out a couple different times with last minute visits. I appreciate everything so much and would highly recommend hiring her. :)

Wendy provided exceptional service to our three kitties while we were away! She communicated with us very well throughout our trip and was able to medicate our sweet older kitty, which was really important for us. Highly recommend Wendy if you want high quality care for your furry family members!

Caring for special needs pets as a petsitter requires a bit more attention, patience, and understanding, but it can be incredibly rewarding. Here are some considerations and preferences to keep in mind when providing care for pets. I would need to know specific pet limitations, if any, upfront to ensure I can provide proper care. Whether it’s anxiety, medication management or physical disabilities, each comes with their own special care skills required. I would take time to learn about their specific needs and routines from their owners. Many pets thrive on routine, so I try to stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules. This consistency can help them feel at ease. I can engage special needs pets in activities that cater to their abilities. For example, puzzle toys can stimulate a pet with cognitive challenges, while gentle play can be great for those with mobility issues. I always keep an open line of communication with the pet owners. Update them on their pet’s behavior, health, and any concerns that arise during my care or just a recap of the overall visit with a quick text. Overall, being a petsitter for special needs pets requires a compassionate approach and a willingness to adapt to their unique circumstances.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
