Pet care experience
Thoughtful Care. Peace of Mind
Think less “boarding,” more a trusted friend who happens to be exceptionally good at pet care. 🧠 Behavior-aware care • 🏡 In-home boarding • ❤️ Lots of love I provide professional, personalized pet care with a special focus on calm, attentive in-home boarding. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies, seniors, nervous rescues, and reactive dogs. I intentionally keep my boarding guest list small so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and can settle into a comfortable routine. I have a securely fenced yard and friendly, well-socialized resident dogs, and I use separate spaces whenever a guest needs quiet time or personal space. A meet-and-greet is required before boarding so we can make sure my home is a good fit for everyone. I am Cat and Dog First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and also manage an enrichment toy program professionally. Depending on your pet's needs, their stay may include neighborhood walks, backyard play, sniffing activities, puzzles, enrichment, and plenty of downtime and affection. Communication is important to me. I follow routines and instructions closely and provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits, with my most consistent walking availability in the early morning, evenings, and on weekends. Recurring local walks are welcome and are a great way for your dog and me to get to know each other before a future boarding stay. My goal is to provide dependable care that feels less like a boarding facility and more like your pet is staying with a trusted, experienced friend.

Ratings and reviews
Wendy L. is so much more than a dog sitter—she’s truly a “Dog Mom!” She cared for my buddy Chance like he was her own. She was incredibly attentive, observant, and made sure his individual needs were met throughout his stay. Wendy kept me updated regularly and sent the BEST pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Chance was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. Thank you, Wendy, for taking such amazing care of my buddy! Chance and I will definitely be back!! 🐾❤️
Ms. Wendy was very gentle with my furry daughter, Na’vi. She was very communicative with me and sent me pictures everyday and updates on how Na’vi was doing. She is very professional and straightforward with the way she provides her service but makes sure we felt comfortable before Na’vi’s stay.
Wendy took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it was clear she took the time to get to know each of my cats' personalities and needs. Her updates and photos gave me complete peace of mind, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again!
My dear furry baby Kobe hates staying home alone and he's very particular about who is in our house. He's little but overprotective of his home. So when it came to looking for a furry babby sitter I was worried. However, when Wendy came to visit for the first time he was very friendly and calm around her! I was very relieved especially because I know he's happy and well cared for in her hands. thank you!!! from me and Kobe :-)

Schedule
Because I work from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day to provide companionship, playtime, potty breaks, meals, enrichment, and plenty of individual attention. This allows me to offer weekday daycare and overnight boarding in my home, where pets can settle into a calm, comfortable routine without spending long periods alone. On weekends, I also offer overnight care in your home. To make sure I can give your pet my full attention while also maintaining a healthy routine for my own pets, I limit these stays to a maximum of three consecutive nights. For cats, I offer 30-minute drop-in visits that can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication, playtime, and affection based on your cat’s personality and comfort level. Cat visits are generally available during the day or evening for homes located within approximately five miles of my home. I also provide dog walks and drop-in potty breaks within my service area. My primary availability is in the morning and evening. Midday visits are more limited, but may be available on holidays or on days when my work schedule allows additional flexibility. I intentionally keep my client list small, which gives me more room to accommodate individual routines and special requests. If your pet’s schedule falls outside my usual availability, feel free to reach out. I will always do my best to find an arrangement that works.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet receives care based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment where they can relax and feel at home. For boarding, pets have access to a securely fenced yard for supervised play, enrichment, and frequent potty breaks. I have three friendly rescue dogs, but visiting pets are never left with them unsupervised. Pets are separated during meals, when I leave the house, or anytime they need their own quiet space. A meet and greet is required before boarding so we can confirm that everyone feels comfortable and the environment is a good fit. Dogs who prefer their own space can still enjoy walks, enrichment, outdoor time, and plenty of one-on-one attention. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, play, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I keep my client list small so each pet receives attentive, personalized care that never feels rushed.
Pets
A typical day
Every pet has their own idea of fun, so I tailor activities to their age, energy level, personality, and routine. For active dogs, that may include neighborhood walks, backyard play, fetch, tug, and supervised playtime with my friendly resident pets. For puppies and curious dogs, I incorporate short training games, puzzle toys, treat searches, and enrichment activities that keep both their bodies and brains busy. Senior pets and lower-energy guests can enjoy slower sniff walks, gentle play, sunbathing in the yard, cuddle time, and plenty of cozy breaks. I also run an enrichment toy program professionally, so I enjoy finding creative ways to keep pets mentally stimulated without overwhelming them. Whether your pet wants an adventure, a puzzle to solve, or a quiet spot beside me on the couch, I will make sure their stay feels fun, comfortable, and personalized.
