Reliable & Trustworthy Pet Sitter

*Two night minimum for house sitting requests greatly appreciated I've been a dedicated pet sitter for years, deeply passionate about animals of all ages and abilities. My clientele spans from lively and spirited to elderly and requiring special attention. Every furry friend holds a special place in my heart, including those with specific needs like epilepsy or diabetes. I'm experienced in administering various medications, from pills and injections to subcutaneous fluids, and monitoring blood sugar levels. My affinity for the outdoors aligns perfectly with the joy I find in taking dogs for walks, visiting dog parks, or engaging in a spirited game of fetch. And when it's time to unwind, there's nothing better than snuggling up with them for some quality reading or movie time. My love for cats is equally strong. Reliability and responsibility are the cornerstones of my service. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities while you're away. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and providing ample affection to ease any potential stress. Whether it's a leisurely car ride or an adventurous hike, I ensure your pet's comfort and enjoyment. Communication is key, and I make it a point to keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages. I strive to create a nurturing environment for your pets because I recognize that they miss their parents when they're away! Boarding: I spend my days with boarded pups on fenced deck and in large fenced yard. I enjoy gardening and reading outdoors in company of pups while breaking for fetch or walks during the day. Note: a two day minimum for booking is greatly appreciated until gas prices decrease

Thank you Wendy for being a great sitter! Really appreciated the last minute extension due to a flight delay.

This is the fourth time I've used Wendy for dog sitting in my house and it was again, a stellar experience. She communicated daily with me and left the house spotless. My somewhat anxious pup was very clearly comfortable with her and was well taken care of.

Wendy was the perfect house sitter! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and sent lots of photos and updates. She is a fantastic communicator and we felt confidant that our house was in good hands while we were away. She went above and beyond and left the house in great shape too. If you need someone to watch your house/pets go with Wendy!

We knew that our pets would be in great hands with Wendy from the first visit when she came to meet them/us! Our little dog is quite anxious and picky about who he likes in our home and he allowed Wendy in right away with open arms ❤️ Wende was punctual and very communicative and allowed us to feel like our pets were in great hands — both are an anxious little dog and our older cat. we got plenty of photos and updates to eat our minds and everyone was happy as could be when we returned and our house in perfect order. We will definitely have Wendy again!

Wendy took great care of our cat and home while we were away! We are already discussing an opportunity for her to be here again the next time we are away. Thank you, Wendy!
