Information Wendy F. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting for your pet, I appreciate knowing any important health information, special needs, or behavioral details. Please let me know about any medications, allergies, past injuries, anxieties, or tips that will help me give your pet the best personalized care. Clear communication helps me ensure your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort during every visit.

I believe keeping their exercise habits consistent is key to their comfort and happiness. I also spend quality time playing, offering cuddles, and getting to know each pet’s unique personality to make sure they feel relaxed, entertained, and well cared for. My goal is to provide the same level of love and engagement that they would receive at home.

Wendy is amazing! Last minute plans because of a death in the family had us searching for a sitter for our two recently rescued pups. Wendy promptly answered my inquiry and didn't bat an eye when we said that we were still learning about our new dogs. She jumped right in and made us feel comfortable about leaving for our memorial service out of state. Wendy has great communication, sends lot of pictures, and took great care of the dogs and our home. She is a prompt professional who takes each dog sitting opportunity seriously. I recommend Wendy for your dog sitting needs! Plus, she's just a friendly and caring person.

Wendy is absolutely our pup’s favorite sitter— and ours as well!! We were stoked to have Wendy back with us while we were out of town for 5 days. During this time, she communicated frequently (and unprompted—her confidence and sense of initiative is so appreciated, especially when one is traveling). She sent multiple photos a day of Nebula and left us feeling completely at ease. Our home was treated with love and care and we returned to a very happy, healthy pup. Nebula can be quite demanding when it comes to attention, pets, and scratches, and Wendy generously indulged her in all of the above. Thank you!! 💛💛💛

We entrusted Wendy with our beloved dog and our home and we couldn’t have picked a better person. She is extremely professional and kind. Not only did she follow all our instructions on ear cleaning, avoiding the heat during walks and giving lots and lots of cuddles and attention to our French Bulldog but she went way and beyond sending us wonderful photos and updates of their adventures and leaving our home in a better state than we left it. She gave us the peace of mind we were looking for while travelled internationally for a major life event and took care of the home and our dog exactly as we needed! Her calm energy and gentleness was something our dog immediately gravitated towards but she also knows how to be firm when he’s being stubborn as bulldogs are. Only an experienced sitter can be both and she has tons of experience which is what you want when you are leaving your most precious things behind and flying an ocean away. Will rebook her for the next trip! Thank you Wendy, you are simply the best!

Wendy is a rockstar sitter! She took excellent care of our senior dog (15 y/o), Jameson, and kept us updated throughout the day. Our family hasn’t been away from Jameson for that long, but we were at ease knowing Wendy was there with him, giving him tlc and ensuring his medications were on schedule. Wendy is friendly, warm, and professional. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
