Information Wendy H. would like to know about your pet

I accept all breeds with prior knowledge to appropriately prepare. I would prefer to know of any separation anxiety or fears, such as thunderstorms, again in order to adequately prepare.

A typical day

Exact activities and walk locations would vary depending on the specific breed and owner preferences. One specific example is my current client. She has a Newfoundland. I usually pick her up drive her to the park down the street walk around the soccer field and playground (she likes to sniff for crumbs and pizza crusts). Then we walk over to the dog park for a spell before heading back to the van. Depending on her grooming schedule she will sometimes join me on my Wednesday river walks. I tend to have 3-4 dogs and they are allowed to get wet in a shallow area as far as their retractable leashes permit. I also frequent dog parks. I’m pretty open to different scenarios but will usually stick to an easy neighborhood walk until I get a feel for a dogs temperament and energy.

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Wendy. I am an assertive individual with a calm energy, who is flexible on size and breed, and with over ten years experience providing pet care. I own vehicle that can accommodate multiple dogs comfortably and take 2-3 walks daily, even in inclement weather. I have the flexibility of caring for puppies and understand the need for frequent potty breaks as well as playtime opportunities for socialization. I often board dogs from multiple families concurrently, and provide separate areas for meal time in order to keep feeding time safe. Play time is supervised and breed appropriate toys are available upon request to ensure a safe fun stay. If I am required to leave the house while caring for your pet, I separate all dogs and have a large crate available if needed

Wendy gave extra great care to my senior dog who needed special care. She also always keeps my other dog active on walks and lots of pictures.

Wendy is always so good with Ollie! She is communicative, sends greats photos of him, and is very flexible with timing. We are so so appreciative of her!

Wendy was great. She was really good with Farley even when he was nervous about staying at her house and took extra steps to make sure he ate. She sent updates and photos which is always nice. She was also patient and flexible with our schedule changes. I would definitely book with Wendy again.
