Safety, trust & environment

In my home my cat has access to the whole house. We have cat beds, litter boxes, cat trees, and water bowls on every floor. When I visit someone else's home I follow what they would like done.

Information Wendy C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how to administer any medications. Set out their favorite toys for me and I'll be sure to use them. Let me know if there are any triggers for them that I should avoid. If we walk outside in wet, icy, or snowy weather try to leave out a towel and one of these for their paw pads: paw balm, coconut oil or olive oil.

A typical day

I would play with them with their toys, walks, cuddles, and pets. I'm open to what the pet parent suggests. Sometimes a shy cat or dog just needs someone to sit with them and calmly talk or read a book. Whatever the fur friends wants and needs are is what I use as a guide.

Pets are Family

Pet care experience

•I grew up with cats and dogs in the family all my life. I have experience with various breeds from rottweiler to dachshunds. I have volunteered in a couple of cat rescue and shelters. I currently care for a cat colony and use the income from Rover to feed them and TNR them. I also use this income on medical needs for the cat I adopted from the colony. He had to retire from the streets due to FIV and is now the apple of my eye. I would love to extend my excess of joy, love, and care to your furry family members. Being a walker and sitter has been the best JOB (Joy Of Being) I have ever had. • I kindly ask that requests for bookings and questions be between the hours of 8am and 8pm. I want to be well rested so I can care for everyone’s fur baby’s and able to reply promptly to all of you. I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you for your business.

Wendy took great care of our cat while we were away! She went the extra mile, bringing treats, toys and catnip to make sure he was well entertained.

Wendy was super pleasant and professional to work with, and my cat clearly enjoyed herself under Wendy’s care. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!

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.
