I am hoping that caring for animals will become my profession because I feel that I thrive in this area. Animals are the food for my soul and it would be a dream come true to work with them on a full-time basis.

About Wendy K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home and in my client’s home I practice what I have learned through attending dog training school as well as reading and practicing “THE DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK.” Through school and experience I have learned how to appropriately approach animals, how to interact in a positive manner and how to gain the trust of an animal. In addition, I have the skills to positively interact with animals that may have difficulty walking on a leash, excessive jumping and much more.

Information Wendy K. would like to know about your pet
I have had some experience with and am very comfortable caring for special needs animals and will ensure your fur baby is well cared for 24/7.
A typical day
Physical exercise is very important for dogs so we will go for walks, play fetch, hide & seek and maybe learn a new trick or two! Mental stimulation is also very important for dogs so I use many interactive puzzles (levels 1-3), snuffle mats and stuffed toys to keep my dogs mentally stimulated! Your dog will be so busy he/she won’t even realize you’re gone! Lol!

Pet care experience
- Please note: On my property I have created a private fenced dog park and will pick u your fur baby, travel to my private dog park, spend a few hours having amazing fun and then travel back home, happy as can be and exhausted! - I have been a volunteer and foster of shelter animals as well as rescuing and providing a forever home for animals for many years. I worked at a shelter for a short time before resigning to open my own animal rescue. Working at an animal shelter opened my eyes to so many issues and reasons why people surrender their animals. I am currently in the process of opening an animal rescue through fostering each animal while finding a forever home for them. In addition, my rescue will focus on educating the public on the responsibilities of owning an animal over its lifetime. Opening a Non Profit rescue is what I am doing in my spare time because I have to continue to earn a living to provide for my family. Dog/cat sitting is the perfect profession for me because I get to continue to work with animals on a full-time basis and I feel this is the area in which I thrive and can continue to help with providing the best care possible. Over the years I have learned something from every animal I have worked with and/or owned. In recent years, I have completed training in Behavior Adjustment Training and The DO NO HARM DOG TRAINING AND BEHAVIOR HANDBOOK. I have the skills to know how to positively and appropriately approach animals as well as interact with them in a healthy way. In addition, I have the skills to quickly earn the trust of an animal.

Reviews
Wendy is a very loving dog mom! She treated Sierra like one of her own! I missed my little girl while I was gone, but I knew she was in very good hands.
Wendy was amazing to work with. I had to board my cat Chicken Noodles with her for a few days. She sent me daily videos and updates about his eating, made sure he was brushed and played with, and she administered all of his medications. She is a wonderful person just to know as well. She's sweet, kind, and friendly. Absolutely a gem of a sitter and a person. 10/10. Book her! You won't be disappointed.
Wendy went above and beyond caring for my pups! She spent extra time playing with and walking the girls! I appreciate the photos she provided everyday and I can tell the girls had a fun time!
Wendy Kurtz took care of my little 11-year-old Morkie named Sierra. She treated her as one of her own and I was so thankful. I wasn’t able to take care of her myself at the time.
