Dogs rule my life! Free drop/pickup

Pet care experience

**Please note, while I technically only have one small pup, she’s just the only permanent resident. I am in rescue and often have other pups present. Rest assured, I don’t accept foster animals unless previously dog, people, and temperament tested! I have had dogs my entire life. My love for helping any and all breeds (mutts are the best!!) started from a young age when I would get in trouble for constantly bringing home stray and scruffy fur babies! . I think I may have identified with the wandering souls. I have since grown up and found my place in life, but my love affair with pooches has just grown stronger and has included participation in immersion training of a pup for Canine Companions of America. My love is my little girl, Sissy, dumped, heartworm positive (now healed!) and full of sores and fleas, and she has been with me almost 7 years now. I typically always have a foster or two as well, and I have raised 3 litters from birth in the past year and a half, and played an instrumental role in finding them fur-ever homes. My house is an 'all access' house for pups. They are allowed on sofas, beds, or wherever they would like to go! Your pup will not be crated unless requested or necessary as per the pup for comfort/anxiety issues. Oftentimes, with permission, of course, your pup would be included in our daily travels as my babes often accompany me throughout the day. Trips to Home Depot or Pet Smart are not uncommon! I have my own business, so my schedule can be modified to suit needs...I’m kind of in good with the boss ya know, and she’s not very strict as far as a work schedule goes ? I believe in lots of love and snuggles and have plenty to share! I have a small, fenced yard.

I was able to travel with a peace of mind thanks to Wendy! Our dog loves her and she went above and beyond for us.

This is our second time hiring Wendy and we adore her! My dog is a 100lb well mannered German Shepherd and most people are scared of her because she’s very wolf-looking. Wendy had no problems with her the first time and even a year later, my dog Ali still remembered her! First trip was 4 days and this last one was 5 days with two drop ins per day. Wendy went above and beyond for our Ali. She hung out with her a few times longer than hired for and even brought over some puppies to play with Ali. Of course she asked me for permission first and I was more than happy to give Ali some playtime. My husband and I will probably never hire someone else. 5 stars!

Wendy is truly passionate about the care and welfare of all dogs. It's evident that she takes great care of our dog when we are out town, so much so that our dog cries whenever Wendy drops her off. We have used her services a few times and will do so in the future!
