Information Wendy J. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible about a dog’s personality and routine before we spend time together. It’s especially helpful to know if your dog is comfortable around other dogs, has any specific triggers such as resource guarding, reactivity, or fear of loud noises (like fireworks or thunderstorms), and what helps them feel safe in those moments. I also appreciate details about feeding routines, walking preferences, favorite toys, and any health considerations or mobility issues. The more I know, the more I can tailor care to make sure your dog feels secure, understood, and happy

Caring for Dogs Like They’re My Own

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Wendy. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and dog lover, currently sharing my home with Dennis, a senior Pom Chi rescue with a big personality and a gentle heart. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with very different temperaments — from a spirited Australian Cattle Dog to an independent Shiba Inu — and I’ve learned how to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and pace. I believe in meeting dogs where they are — some need space and quiet, others thrive on play and routine. I’m patient, calm, and intuitive, and I take pride in making dogs feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for. Whether that means slow walks for seniors, time to explore, or simply good company, I make sure every dog feels secure and happy. Our home is a calm, pet-focused environment, and between my husband and me, dogs enjoy consistent companionship and attentive care throughout the day. Friends describe me as reliable, detail-oriented, and steady under pressure — the person they trust when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. If you’re looking for someone experienced, kind, and committed to your dog’s well-being, I’d love to help. Dennis would agree — dogs make life better.

Wendy and Johnny took wonderful care of Clark Kent during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe, happy, and so well cared for while I was away. Their thoughtful updates and photos meant the world to me and made it so much easier to be apart from him. It was clear they genuinely cared about Clark and treated him like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again and look forward to booking with them in the future. Tell Dennis Clark appreciated his company and sharing his space with him. Thank you both for taking such great care of my little buddy!
