Work at home, fenced yard

Pet care experience

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!

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!

Information Wendy V. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have a history of having any problems with other dogs? Is your dog on any medications? How long can your dog be on its own?

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.

Availability

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.
