Wendy is the ultimate dog whisperer. Her incredibly loving, friendly personality won over my late pup Yoshi, and she’s the only person I trust to keep Gizmo alive and spoiled. Literally the only human my dogs like more than me!

Wendy’s home has always been a place of comfort, love, and happiness for my dog, Charlie Bones. He absolutely loves staying with “Aunt Wendy,” and I can tell how excited he is every time he gets to see her. From the moment he arrives, he is treated like part of the family and completely spoiled with plenty of snuggles, treats, attention, and, of course, lots of walks! One of the things I appreciate most about Wendy is how caring and attentive she is with Charlie. She genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved while he is in her care. I never have to worry about whether he is getting enough attention or being well taken care of because I know he is in wonderful hands. It means so much to me to have someone I completely trust to care for Charlie when I’m away from home. Having a reliable person who treats my dog with the same love and care that I do gives me such peace of mind. Charlie always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly wondering when he gets to go back to Aunt Wendy’s! I would wholeheartedly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely wonderful with dogs. She has become a trusted part of Charlie’s little village, and I feel incredibly lucky that he has someone like her in his life. Any dog (and their human!) would be lucky to have Wendy caring for them!

We have known Wendy for years and she has been the best dog mom to her own pups and sitter/aunt to my 11 year old pup Millie. She truly appreciates each dog’s unique personality. Wendy has particular skill and love for senior pups and has gone above and beyond to make them happy and safe.

Schedule

I work from home every day so I can easily schedule dog walks as needed. Plenty of time to adore and snuggle your pet. My schnauzer, Pants, is a welcoming and kind gentleman to all that visit. He likes tiny dogs (14 year old Kirby even though he wore a diaper) and big dogs (Charlie the lab). He shares his couches for lounging and doesn't mind if visiting dogs sleep in my bed.
