Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's well being is most important to me, so I always prioritize safety when they are in my care. I respectfully follow any directions you leave for me and will always ask first before bringing out any toys or treats. Clear communication is extremely important to me and I feel honored to gain your trust and your pet's trust. I treat each and every animal I meet as if they were my own companion.

Information Wendy R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about your pet's personality and his/her usual routine. I would like to know their age and current vaccination status. I would also like to know how long you have had them and where you got them. I am comfortable with all personalities-happy, nervous, reactive, social, friendly, timid- Knowing these details will help me to better care for your furry baby!

A typical day

For Dogs: I love providing structure & routine for dogs. We can play fetch or just run about using a long leash (6 to 20 foot leads that I can bring along) to keep your dog safe while getting plenty of exercise! I love providing safe & fun toys catered to your dog's likes/needs. Pups always love our "Toy Time!" when I bring out my bag of dog toys and they get to explore different shapes, textures, sounds and smells. Many dogs love learning new things, so I always enjoy practicing commands/tricks with them, too! For Cats: I love getting to know kitties and I always give them the time they need to feel safe with me. I am more than happy to simply provide company for nervous kitties, or a comfortable lap and loving petting for social kitties! For those kitties who love to play, I always bring along string/feather toys & laser toys to engage them in some enjoyable physical activity. I am happy to accommodate your kitty with whatever kind of company they need while you are away!

Pet care experience

Hello Animal Lovers! I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals in various environments. I am a Certified Dog Trainer and throughout my life, I have been a Kennel Attendant, Veterinary Assistant, Doggie Day Care Handler, Professional Groomer and I have owned my own pet sitting and dog walking business. You name it, I've done it! I would love to care for your furry or feathery friends while you are away from home. Whether it be dog walks or care in your home, I will keep your babies happy and safe, exercised and loved! I have experience with Senior dogs & cats and can give medications or injections. I developed many memorable relationships while living in Las Vegas and I am excited to return to Rover in Los Angeles to be of service as a pet sitter again! Thanks for considering me! 🐾🐾

We had another wonderful booking with Wendy. Our girls are in such good hands and we get the best feedback from her. I seriously wouldn’t ask anyone else to watch our cats 😻
