Highlights
Pet care experience
TLC for your pet
I’ve been dedicated to dogs for most of my life. My current best friend, Arty was a stray and then was at shelters for a long time before I adopted him. He had issues, but I didn’t give up on him. I took him to manners class and used marker training to work through his issues. He is now a well-balanced boy. He loves to pose for pictures, for treats, of course. I would love to care for your pet when you’re away, in your home or mine if your pet is a good fit with Arty.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Wendy is a great dog walker! She is reliable, great with our Frenchie, and very experienced. Highly recommended!
Wendy has taken care of our girl pup for the past 4-1/2 years. She follows our care and med instructions perfectly, she is always on time and truly loves animals. When she started watching our pets, we had a cat, who has since passed. She took great care of him also in his senior years. Wendy is trustworthy, dependable and a responsible person, she is absolutely one of the best pet sitters we have ever used.
Wendy is reliable, trustworthy and treats our dog like family. She is an amazing dog caregiver! I don’t worry about my dog when she’s with Wendy because I know she’s well cared for :) Wendy is our go to and I highly recommend her.
Wendy has walked my dogs for years! They love her! She has a kind, gentle manner, yet firm and consistent that the dogs respect and listen too- mine especially love the end of the walk treat!
Wendy is excellent with all pets Very attentive to diet play health concerns Loves to walk dogs no matter the weather My dog loves her
Wendy is wonderful with our Portuguese Water Dog, Lucia Lucy Lou. She is dependable, caring, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs. We always feel completely comfortable knowing Lucy is in Wendy’s care. Wendy treats Lucy like family, keeps us updated when we are traveling, and gives Lucy the exercise, attention, and affection she deserves. Lucy loves visiting with Wendy.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced yard that is perfect for dogs to play and do zoomies. I have a large dog door and my house is dog friendly, with dog beds and throw rugs on a hardwood floor. I have a rear gate in my car and a dog hammock on the middle seat.
Pets
A typical day
I have lots of toys and a big backyard where I can toss balls and instigate play. When walking I have a variety of locations to walk and change it up daily. I use positive marker training when necessary to promote good manners.
