Highlights
Pet care experience
I miss cuddling other's pets
I spent the first 15 years of my adult life as a veterinary technician, mostly in emergency and critical care. I have raised many bottle babies, fostered, and even treated patients in my home. I have been out of vet med for some time but have continued to care for my own pets, foster, and petsit. I even have 1 petsit "fail", when covid hit and the cat's owners decided not to come back to the country, we welcomed her with open arms into our home.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Wendy is the absolute best! I had ongoing visits scheduled for almost a year and she was 100% reliable. Her communication is excellent and she is flexible if schedules change. She is great with my dog and very attentive. Overall, I highly recommend booking with her as I’m sure your pets will love her!
Wendy is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We were in the backcountry for 5 days out of service and I can confidently say this was one of my first vacations I did not stress or worry about my pets for one moment while I was gone because I was so confident they were in such capable and loving hands. Absolutely our new go to sitter!!
Always takes such great care of my sick, elderly kitty. Excellent giving all the meds (pills, and gel) and excellent communication on all important details each visit. Very gentle, loving, and caring.
Wendy is genuinely the most thoughtful dog-sitter. She was incredibly sweet about comforting our nervous dog with the Independence Day fireworks going on. We are grateful!
Wendy is amazing! She was incredibly attentive, organized, and caring throughout our time away. Our two cats loved her, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were safe with her. We highly recommend her!
Wendy was absolutely amazing and took cate of cats over 4th of July! Thank you so much!

Schedule
I work full time for a company where I have a lot of autonomy, flexibility, and the ability to work from home. I am usually up before dawn and off work by 3pm so I have plenty of time and flexibility for other's pets.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I own my home, it is small but is set up so that my cats have their own space to get away from the dog. I have a large fenced yard, but the fence is short and not suitable for jumpers. I have extra space where a kennel or 2 can be set up or a stressed cat can take refuge.

A typical day
I have found that fetch can be some of the best exercise. But living in Colorado can limit the outdoor activities during certain times of the year. It's important to tailor the type of exercise to the type of breed, time of day, and time of year. I currently have a golden retriever, she's a 45 pound runt. But overheating is a risk for any dog. So we have to play fetch and walk in the morning during most of June, all of July, and at least half of August. And the rest of the day is limiting play time outside and focusing on how to stay active inside. The rest of the year we focus on balancing our fetch and walk sessions with lots of cuddles, affection, and training.
