I have worked from home for over 36 years and plan to keep at home! I am moving from children to dogs. Spending every Summer on my Grandparents farm was heaven, lots of work, done with so much respect for the hours and lifestyle. I moved back to Hidden Valley to care for my parents and raise my kids. They are all gone and I am looking for a new direction, while tending my garden and remodeling. I have never been without a dog (dogs). My children are all in different States so, giving and getting my dog love fix vis sitting is the direction I'm heading as opposed to owning for now! I have always loved my pets more than any couch, so, furniture will be all access.

How I will care for your pet will be up to you! 1/2 Acre fully fenced, 110 tree's, small grass area, DG to dig in. 24 years here and all of my dogs (passed) loved it. I have had 36 years of open communication with child parents and I will do the same for puppy parents. We should be cohesive and symbiotic. I left dry food out for my dogs, however, your dog your rules! Hidden Valley dog park is less than a mile from my home. My Livestock Guardian dog did not like the dog park so if yours does not I am totally ok going or not going! The Virginia Range is behind me and easily accessible for short hikes.

Information Wendy P. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible. I am a talker and the more information I have the better I can adapt to the needs of the poopy!!! If you like to check in daily or not at all while your away, both and in between are wonderful.

A typical day

Fun activities based on your dogs need and likes. No two dogs are alike so I do not know what a "typical day" looks like. I base my day on the needs of whomever I am caring for. Adapting to the likes of doggy parents with the needs of the doggy in care. I love to walk, hike or just watch zoomies in my fenced back yard!!!

Wendy was wonderful to work with and treated our dog like he was her own. She was friendly, caring, responsive, flexible and sent lots of pics while we were away. We’re very careful with who we trust to watch our large senior boy because he’s not friendly with most other animals and he’s also hard of hearing. He loved Wendy and seems to have gotten the royal treatment for three weeks. Highly recommend!

Wendy was amazing with our german shephard mix. She kept us updated with pictures and what he was doing and remembered everything we put in his profile. She will definitely be our go to from now on.

Wendy was fantastic! She gave my dog so much love and even brought over playmates to keep him company and let him run out his energy. She sent me many pictures each day and constantly kept me informed of their day. She is awesome!
