Pet care experience

Energetic and experienced pet care.

All of my life I have owned a variety of pets and consider them to be a treasured part of the family. My love for animals began in Massachusetts as a Junior Naturalist where I cared for all animals at a zoo for 3 years including mountain lions and polar bears. Our experiences will include walking, feeding, playing and caring for your loved one along with photos of their various adventures. I have a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog friendly neighborhood with a fenced in yard. Safety is the upmost importance at all times. I like to keep the pet on the same schedule as the owners so there is little disruption. If I am in someone's home, I make sure the pet and home are secured before leaving.

I’m hesitant to write this review because I don’t want Wendy to get too booked up for my kitties (even though she absolutely deserves to be!). 😂 Long story short, Wendy saved my kitty’s life! She has been taking care of my boys for almost a year now, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. One of my boys is diabetic, and Wendy has been absolutely amazing at administering his insulin every 12 hours and going above and beyond to make sure he’s well cared for. Unfortunately, during our most recent trip, my baby boy went into diabetic ketoacidosis due to circumstances completely beyond Wendy’s control. Thanks to her initiative, attentiveness, and genuine care for my boys, she noticed that something was wrong and immediately took him to the ER. After several days of taking him to the vet, communicating with us, keeping us updated, and showing so much patience and care, he is finally back home and better than ever. I will never take Wendy for granted! SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND MORE! ❤️🐾 If you’re lucky enough to book her, you can rest assured that your fur babies are in the absolute best hands.

I had a wonderful experience with Wendy and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and attentive to my cat’s needs. While I was away, Wendy provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. My cat was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. She also followed all instructions carefully and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. It's clear that she genuinely loves animals and treat them like her own. I returned home to a happy, relaxed pet and on top of it everything was clean and tidy. I couldn't be more grateful. I will definitely be using her services again in the future!
