Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog trainer and canine professional
I am a CPDT-KA certified dog trainer. I have almost 10 years of dog handling experience. I have also completed an extensive course in animal first aid. Dogs in my care will always be my number one priority. Their physical and mental well-being and happiness are what I strive for. I work with dogs professionally as a Trainer and a Handler and also volunteer with a local animal rescue organization. I avidly attend dog training seminars and workshops to build my toolbox of knowledge and skills. I am working towards getting further educated on subjects such as canine nutritional and canine enrichement to eventually use these knowledge to help extend the life-span and improve the mental health of dogs. Dogs welcomed in my home will experience a calm and low stress environment. During their stay with me, I will treat your pups as I would one of my own. A meet and greet is required for first time boarders. I have two fenced yards. One smaller area for my more shy and anxious dogs and a large area (approximately 9000 square ft) for the more exuberant dogs. New dogs will go out into any yard on a long line the first few times until I'm confident that the dog has decent recall. Dogs will never be off leash outside securely fenced areas. Dogs will not be left alone with non same household dogs unsupervised. All dogs will be fed separately to mitigate any chances of a fight. Dogs will always be supervised when outdoors. I will always go with them outside, rain or shine. Any treats or chews that did not come with a dog would be run by the owner for permission prior to being given. For dog walking and drop in visits, I always schedule a meet and greet prior to booking with a client. I like to get acquainted with the pet and the owners and get a lay of the land so I can take any precautionary measures to ensure that I minimize escapes and keep both the dog and myself safe. Dogs are never off leash accept for in secured areas approved by the owner. Please describe any behaviors that may be of concern, so walks can be adapted to create the most comfortable and successful experience for your dog. A meet and greet is a must prior to booking to ensure that all pups involved are comfortable and the owner gets a peace of mind knowing with whom their dog will be staying and where.

Reliable and an awesome dog walker!
Wendy was great with my dog! She has a kind and patient attitude. I appreciate that she asks questions to ensure she provides the best care and learns about my pups behavior and routine. You can tell she really loves working with dogs!
Me and my kids and my dog Coco can't thank Wendy enough to visit our home and hand hold us on recall, least waking and stay commands . She would follow up with detailed notes post the session so that we could practice at home . she also was very helpful with training aids & tools she brought and letting us use it . She is very patient and doesn't rush and very committed and I will recommend setting up a few sessions with her if your pup is needing training . Thank you Wendy !
Wendy was awesome. I worked remotely with her to help my mom have someone walk her dogs while my dad is traveling. She was patient, thorough and was considerate of the dogma needs! My mom felt immediately comfortable with Wendy and I got regular updates from her and Wendy before and after walks! Thanks, Wendy!
Wendy is a dog whisperer and a thorough professional. She ensured that not only our dog but her own dog would adjust to Coco . During the stay she took detailed notes and gave daily pics and vids of Coco's day. she has a nice setting with a smaller backyard for shy dogs and a larger backyard for larger dogs ...both of which Coco availed . She was able to take Coco out on walks so as to beat the scorching heat and also kept me updated on her preparations for keeping dogs safe during July 4th weekend . we are also thankful she was knowledgeable on treating Coco for some skin inflammation which healed in a few days . she also gave us many training. tis for keeping Coco trained and sociable . Will come back to Wendy again .
I really appreciated Wendy for how patient she was to comfort our puppy and take her for walks. Wendy is so reliable and she left messages, photos and notes for every walk. I’d recommend Wendy for your puppies!!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm always with and supervising dogs when I am present. Dogs are separated by household when I am away in separate rooms or expens. I will crate dogs if requested by owners. I have a camera that I use to check on the dog's when I am away. Dogs are fed separately and dogs with resource guarding behaviors will not be able to board with me.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs will have a daily walk at the park across the street. They will have free reign of fenced yards where they can roll around and sniff the grass. Each dog's activities will be adjusted to their energy level.
