Pet care experience

Loving home for your dog to enjoy

I owned my own kennel for 5 years prior to moving to the Twin Cities area. I also do foster care and have pets of my own. I have been doing pet care in some fashion for 15 years. I specialize in senior care; however, will sit for respectful dogs of all ages and breeds. Unfortunately, because I typically have smaller and older dogs in my home, I do need to limit the number of puppies and high strung or high energy dogs I can watch. My number one priority is the safely of all the dogs I have with me at all times. I can also administer medications including insulin, having adopted and fostered insulin dependent animals in the past.

Wendy was great with Lenny. She kept me informed about how he was doing throughout the day and sent me pictures of him. Most important, Lenny was comfortable in her home. He bonded with her husband Justin as well as her dogs. Thank you for a job well done. I would highly recommend Wendy.

Gracie loves visiting Wendy and Justin. Their house and yard, combined with their loving attention and a few other playmates makes for an ideal staycation for Gracie. Thank you, Wendy and Justin!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 02, 2026

Wendy and Justin were so kind and loving to our Sammy. They sent me pictures and updates during the 4hrs of care. Even after we picked him up, we received a text updating us on last time Sammy went potty. Highly recommended. Excellent service.

The pictures and video from Wendy were hilarious. Clearly, my pups had a blast. I’m surprised I could get them to come home.

Schedule

I work from home and my husband is home the days I am not. I am home in the evenings typically as well. I spend most my available time outside working in the yard, walking or playing with my dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in, secure, large yard for your pups to come play in. I prioritize everyone’s safely and comfort, therefore providing them with an environment that is safe and welcoming for them. I have a large home they are welcome to roam free in, just like if they were in their own homes. I have crates available for dogs who need that extra safe space or prefer to sleep in a crate. My dogs get along with other dogs, so play time is always fun. My goal is always to make your dogs feel like they are at home, where they get love and attention.

Pets

A typical day

We spend a lot of time outside playing in the yard on nice days. We also can go for walks, as I am an active person who walks several times a day. I also like to do training with them as one on one time (basic commands) to keep them engaged. We have sniff matts, toys and play time also.

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs or accommodations. I want to provide the best care possible for them. I don't have a preference in breed, I love all fur babies. I do specialize in senior care or dogs that have medical needs; however, that is not a requirement for the use of my services.
