Dog Loving House w/ 3 Furry Friends

Please note that I am only able to sit dogs under 40lbs because my fence is only 5ft tall and my dog Zoe is often scared of larger dogs. I have lived around dogs all of my life. Growing up my family had three different dogs, I've had multiple roommates with dogs, and in 2013 I adopted my own. I have lots of experience watching and caring for my own dogs and those of my friends. I've taken care of all ages of dogs, from puppies to elderly ones. I am also experienced in administering oral and topical medications to dogs. I recently left my full time job in order to start a new venture and have a very open schedule at the moment which I would love to fill with watching your dog. Please note that I do have my own dogs, Fabio & Zoe, and my girlfriend also has a dog, Porter, and they and your dog will have to get along in order for daycare and boarding to be possible. However, all our dogs are friendly and I've never met a dog they didnt get along with (though Zoe can take quite a while to warm up to large dogs). I also host doggy playdates in my yard for neighborhood pups a few days a week (its like having a dog park in my yard) and your dog will be welcome to join if staying during a scheduled playdate. I only accept up to three dogs at a time between daycare and boarding, and I only accept dogs from two or more households at the same time if I have previously hosted them. I do not accept multiple unknown dogs from different households at the same time, though sometimes there may be a slight overlap between bookings. Regarding my schedule, I am currently home full time so will have plenty of time to spend with your pup both on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced yard and three of my own dogs to keep your pup entertained. My dogs are allowed on furniture, sleep in my bed, and are left loose when I'm not home. I am happy to adhere to your rules and crate your dog if needed though.

Wendy is very responsive, and dependable. Hachi has a good time with other dogs. They hv a secured front yard with plenty of space for dogs to run around

Doggy Day Care • Apr 23, 2026

Geordi LOVED spending the day with Wendy and her crew. Drop off and pick up were super easy. I loved the pics and video I got during the day. And best of all, he got so much exercise during the day that he was completely tuckered out when he came home. We'll be back!

Wendy was a great sitter. Communication was incredibly fast - questions were answered within minutes, and I received regular photo updates.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy walking around the neighborhood and going to nearby parks with my dogs. I also enjoy playing tug-of-war and fetch with them. I expect to partake in these activities plus whatever others your dog enjoys whenever watching them. My yard is fully fenced and there is a doggy door, so your pup will have full access to the yard during the day. Larger dogs won't fit through the doggy door, but I will let them out every 2-4 hours as needed. I usually excercise guest dogs in the yard rather than taking them on walks given the potential problems that could arise (dogs pulls leash out of hand and gets loose, fight with another dog, hurting someone, etc.).
