Work at home, fenced yard

Hi! I work from home as a copy editor. (*Note, I live right in Nelsonville, not five miles away like the map claims. My street was recently renamed, so most maps don't recognize Nelsonville has a Cherry Street yet!) My work is quite flexible, so I have plenty of time and space to care for your pets. I've got a nice grassy fenced backyard in which dogs enjoy frolicking. I love walking and playing with visiting dogs and having company while I work. I have two cats, who stay in their separate CatLand, at least initially. After time, one of them miiight be willing to the in the same room as a dog; the other likely never will. I can pretty much accommodate whatever your pet needs as far as feeding, bathroom or exercise rituals, and I will be able to offer him, her or them plenty of attention and play. I prefer bookings that are not weekends only, as that’s my only opportunity to get out of the house for the week, and I tend to be in and out. Multiple dogs from the same household are great. I don’t have my own dog, so I might be able to accommodate a dog who doesn’t get along with others, although if it’s in a time of high demand I might not be able to make it work. If your booking is last-minute, don’t be afraid to try me!

Wendy was awesome. I never expected to get photos during the week, but I did and they were fun to see. I am glad that Ted was a gentleman and that Wendy provided such loving care. Marcia

Wendy takes the best care of my dogs! They are older dogs (10 and 15) and they would not do well in a boarding kennel. They stay at her house and get their daily walk, lots of attention, and great care. They feel right at home and that means a lot! Thank you Wendy!

This was our first experience using Rover and we couldn’t have lucked out more. Wendy was a fantastic care taker to our two cats. Her communication was spot on and the updates for each drop in visit were thorough. Can’t recommend Wendy enough!

Schedule

I’m home most of the day on weekdays, with short errands off and on, so I have lots of time with pets then. Weekends I might go out for longer errands or events, or I might end up just lounging at home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a single-story home, with only a couple steps to get to one entry door, which can be useful for elderly dogs. There are several dead-end streets immediately near me that can make nice walks.

Pets

A typical day

Often dogs sit in a comfy chair immediately next to me while I work or on the couch a few feet away. It’s a pretty quiet neighborhood with several nice places to walk. I have a nice yard for running around.
