Highlights
Pet care experience
Mature, Tidy, Reliable Fur Sitter
I’m a retired, fit, super tidy, responsible, and caring pet sitter who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels—from more playful dogs and cats to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I have a HUGE soft spot for seniors as I believe it's a privilege to care for a cherished oldster in their "golden time." I offer overnight stays (housesitting/petsitting) only, and I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions so things stay as normal as possible for them. I’m also comfortable with administering basic care like medications, and giving lots of playtime, exercise, and affection. Whether your pet is high-energy or more laid-back, I adjust to their needs. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pets are doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. Feeding times are my top priority, especially for pets that require medication, and I structure walks, playtime, and outings around those schedules. I provide regular exercise, enrichment, and attention based on each pet’s energy level and personality—whether that’s active walks and play or a calmer, more relaxed approach for senior pets. For transportation, my car is set up with a secure backseat hammock to keep pets safe and comfortable if travel is needed (such as vet visits or approved outings). If a dog is well-socialized, good on recall, and the owner is comfortable, I’m open to supervised outings like dog parks or beach trips. Otherwise, I stick to familiar environments and routines to ensure safety. At this time, I primarily offer care in the client’s home. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and well cared for in your absence.
Ratings and reviews
Such a wonderful experience my two Golden Retrievers had with Wendy! She is so loving and caring! Here are the many extras she did with my doggies: gave them supplements and food according to instructions, let them swim almost every day because they love her pool parties at my house, took them on outings to dog parks and Starbucks for pup cups, and sent videos and detailed reports daily! I highly recommend her.She will live your pets as her own!
Wendy is the most thorough and caring sitter we’ve ever had!
Wow- Wendy is so kind and thorough that we were blown away. She kept us totally updated on our dogs, loved on them so much, and left the house absolutely perfect. By far the best sitter we have found through Rover. Cannot thank her enough!
We were so lucky to have Wendy come stay at our house with Max and Milo. Since the boys are seniors and moving a lot slower these days, I always worry about leaving them, but Wendy was absolutely wonderful. She was so patient, took them on nice, slow walks, and texted me updates all day so I never had to stress. She even washed their dog blankets before I got home, which was incredibly sweet. The boys clearly loved having her there, and I’d trust her with them again in a heartbeat!
Wendy did a great job taking care of my two dogs, Addy and Rocket, this spring. She communicated effectively, efficiently and often before and during her stay. I appreciated her attention to detail regarding my dogs’ routines and feeding nuances. She was very respectful of my home and pets, and I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a sitter!
Wendy’s exceptional care for our animals during our absence made our travels significantly more enjoyable. She provided us with regular updates through captivating stories and photographs, ensuring that we were always informed about their well-being and the delightful experiences they were having during their stress-free day. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Wendy for her unwavering attentiveness to our cherished companions.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m currently retired, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I typically start my mornings with exercise between 6–8am around the Orlando area. Because my schedule is open, I’m able to plan my day around the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means daily walks, feeding schedules, or evening activities.
