Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar space. I follow all care instructions closely and keep to their normal routines for feeding, walks, play, and rest. I’m very patient and gentle, always tuning in to what each pet needs — whether it’s extra snuggles, exercise, or quiet companionship. I send regular updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away, and I’m respectful of your home, always leaving it clean and cared for.

Information Wendy G. would like to know about your pet

I welcome all breeds — no restrictions! I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I know it’s about how they’re raised, not their breed. I’ve also been a trainer and have experience handling challenging situations calmly and safely if they arise on walks or during visits. Please let me know about your pet’s anxieties, quirks, or anything special I should be aware of — I’ll always do my best to meet their unique needs with patience and care. And feel free to message me with any pricing questions❤️

A typical day

A typical day starts with letting the pups outside for a potty break, followed by fresh water and breakfast. If they’re up for it, we take a walk to a nearby park for some fresh air and fun. Throughout the day, I make sure they get plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention, always keeping their routine and comfort in mind.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 8 years as a Vet Assistant, 4 years as a professional dog bather, and 5+ years working as a dog walker, daycare attendant, and hotel attendant. I genuinely love animals and always prioritize their happiness, comfort, and well-being — just like I do for my own pets. I took a break from Rover after 2023 while focusing on other projects, but I’m excited to be back! I’m proud to have four 5-star reviews from happy clients. Whether your pet prefers park adventures or cozy time at home, I’m here to give them the best care.

I’m so glad to have found Wendy! My puppy is so comfortable with her, and both times she has stayed at my house I’ve come home to it spotless.

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.
