Highlights
Pet care experience
I love animals, walking and hiking!
Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine. Over the years, I’ve raised and loved many pets of my own, and currently walk my dogs 2–3 times a day—rain or shine. Our daily routines include neighborhood strolls, adventurous hikes, and long weekends exploring the outdoors. I’ve traveled with my pups across Texas, Tennessee, and Missouri, and regularly vacation with my grandpuppies in the mountains of Colorado, Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. I’ve also had the privilege of hiking and vacationing with my blind friend and her two incredible service dogs, gaining firsthand experience supporting animals with specialized needs. I cared for my own dog through two ACL surgeries and followed strict recovery plans, and I’ve successfully trained a high-energy German Shepherd mix using positive reinforcement methods. Whether it's providing companionship for a friend’s pet during long work shifts or pet sitting for neighbors on vacation, I treat every animal with the same love, care, and attention I give my own. Your pets will be safe, happy, and well cared for in my hands!

Safety, trust & environment
I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and respected—whether in my care at home or in a client’s home. I use positive reinforcement to build trust and ensure pets feel comfortable and secure. I treat all animals as members of the family, providing them with the same level of attention and care I give my own. When walking or visiting parks, I always keep pets on a leash and remain attentive to their surroundings, making safety my top priority. I follow any specific instructions you provide and take great care to maintain routines, comfort, and consistency—because your pet’s well-being is my responsibility, and I take that to heart.
Ratings and reviews
It was the first time I trusted someone else to look after my dogs during an event, and everything was excellent! Thank you, Wendy.
Wendy took great care of our 12 year old dog while we were gone for a week. She visited our house every day and sent pictures. She was very fast to respond to messages and was easy to work with. I would recommend Wendy. Thank you!
Wendy was very loving with my dogs. Extremely happy with her and will use her again.
Wendy was great during our recent trip, thank you for being an awesome person to our pooch!!
Wendy was such a great sitter for our boy, Gus. She was responsive, kind and met us for a meet and greet where we went through his entire routine. Wendy’s experience with reactive, anxious dogs made us so much more comfortable too. We knew he was in good hands. Gus loved Wendy too and got some great snuggles.
Did a great job and was nice to assist me on some airplane delays .

Schedule
As a recent retiree, I have the time, flexibility, and energy to fully dedicate myself to pet care. Daily walks and outdoor adventures are already a natural part of my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending that time with a furry companion by my side. I love walking, hiking, and exploring local trails, parks, and neighborhoods, and dogs make those experiences even more joyful. Their energy, affection, and playful spirit bring me so much happiness, and it’s a true pleasure to provide them with the exercise, enrichment, and companionship they need throughout the day.

- It’s important to me that your pet feels safe, understood, and cared for—so the more I know ahead of time, the better! I’d love to know if your dog is friendly with other pets or prefers space, whether they have any favorite treats, toys, or commands, and if there are specific routines or habits that make them feel at home. Please let me know what type of collar or leash system you use, and if there are any triggers like loud noises, motorcycles, or certain environments that might make them anxious. Every pet is unique, and I’m here to provide the kind of care that fits your dog’s personality and needs.
