Pet care experience

Large fenced in back-yard!

Our family has had dogs for 30 years plus we grew up with dogs. I believe in healthy lifestyle for dogs such as daily walks and good nutritious food plus lots of attention and love. My husband and I love having canine guests because for the first time in our lives we don't have dogs of our own. We have decided to just take care of other peoples pets for a while:) We live on a lake and have lots of wildlife to watch from our front porch where we spend a lot of time with "our" dogs.

It is such a relief to find someone to take care of my Posey with as much love and care as I do. Wendy is amazing and considerate. She takes the time to pre-meet and understand any key behaviors and needs. Her home is safe and secure and she allowed for the right space for Posey to feel comfortable. My girl is a little shy but she warmed up with Wendy and I know she felt secure with her. I would have no issue with Wendy watching her again. Added bonus that I received plenty of pictures of Posey relaxing or snuggling while I was gone. Wendy is A+!!

Our dog thoroughly enjoyed Wendy! She has the perfect doggy hotel including a large fenced in yard. Wendy sent updates and pictures. We will definitely use her again.

Wendy is the absolute best!! This was my 1st time using Rover and will most definitely call on Wendy again. She sent texts and pictures every day plus videos. My dog loved his freedom to run in her fenced in backyard. I know he felt loved and right at home sleeping in her bed at night!

Max forgot I existed after he got to Wendy and Dave's wonderful back yard. He looked so comfortable hanging out with them in the photos Wendy sent. I think he considers going to their house a mini-vacation. Also, Wendy was very kind and understanding when I had to change the pick-up time.

Wendy and Dave and Dustin were awesome, as usual! Wendy had a new grandbaby born the same day, and she still kept Max! I wouldn't have blamed her for canceling but she didn't. This allowed me to see my son is his first-ever opening night. I feel strong gratitude for that sacrifice and dedication. Thank you, Wendy!

Schedule

I'm currently not working outside the home. And when I do have to run an errand my husband works from home Alot! Pups won't be left much! My goal is to take them out every 2-3 hours and spend some time outside in the fresh air!

A typical day

First...go outside in big fenced in yard, walk all around until all business is done and play some ball or just walk. I like to leave my blinds open in kitchen so pups can watch birds, ducks, squirrels and geese and at night we like to watch movies on the couch together :).
