Available full time year round... I stay at your house app. 95 % of the time. I do go home to check on things every 3 days,and I only take one client at a time-except for cats as they do not need as much care. I walk 2 miles a day,more if I take breaks because of a bad knee-I just love exploring while walking with furry friends!

I appreciate a copy of their schedule so I can follow your pets needs as closely as possible. Let me know your pets preferences and quirks - esp. for walking. Is he/she afraid of anything? pull on leash? prefer off leash-and follows commands? Comes when called? Likes other dogs or skittish? Likes snuggling? :)

Pet care experience

I'm an animal lover who will pamper your pets when I am with them. With 22 repeat clients,some of whom have been with me for years,I'm confident my reputation speaks for itself. For example, 15 visits with Ellie, 7 years of visits with Willow, and I handled a 3 week job with Copper! I am available full time right now for all services; and I follow the Acton-Boxboro school calender for school breaks. I would like to get together to work with you. Message me with any questions . Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Thank you for looking at my profile

Wendy is the best. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly cares for our dog like her own, and we feel very lucky to work with her.

This was the second time Wendy took care of our cat, and we'll definitely rebook. I appreciated the updated notes and photos from each visit. Thanks!

Wendy was so understanding and kind. We appreciated her honest account of our shy kitty during her visit. She was very reliable and communication was great. Thank you, Wendy!

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.
