Great with dogs, cats, exotics

Pet care experience

I grew up raising at least two dogs at all times in a house that had a built in aquarium for my families tropical fish business. I cared for amphibians and reptiles starting at age 10 and have branched into insects and arachnids after obtaining two degree's in Entomology and Nematology. I have experience with large farm animals such as horses, cattle, pigs, ducks and chickens from my extended families ranch in Florida. I also have experience with domestic skunks as I was an active member of the florida skunk rescue when I lived in Florida. My current fur/scale children include two tarantulas, two young bearded dragons, two 7 year old leopard geckos, an old ball python, a meal worm colony, a dubia roach colony, a cricket colony, a five year old short hair domestic cat who is neutered, and a 1 year old golden retriever/husky mix dog who is spayed. I have pet sat for friends and family multiple times over the years and I am very good with animals of all personality types and ages. I also have experience administering medicine to unsocialized cats as well as post-op care for dessert reptiles and arachnids.

This was my first time using any dog sitter for my staffordshire, who can be a bit of a handful. Windi did an absolutely amazing job and her detailed updates after each visit were so appreciated. I highly recommend Windi for any and all pet needs, I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

Windi is an absolutely amazing sitter. I can’t wait to book with her again. She sent me pictures, videos and in-depth updates. If you want someone who will truly take care of your pets I cannot recommend If you want someone who will truly take care of your pets I cannot recommend her enough! She is fabulous!

Windi is amazing!! She spent such good quality time with our fur babe. It was cool because we could tell that Windi really got something out of taking care of our Renfri. She enjoyed playing and spending time with our cat as much as our cat enjoyed her. Will definitely book Windi again. She is a very nice person and great at communicating. And great at sending photos which is nice to have when you’re out of town and missing your animals. Thank you Windi!!! 💜

Windi was so great with my kitties. She sent lots of pictures each day, and she was very communicative. I will definitely be using her again next time I have to go out of town!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in back yard up against a 1/2 mile of solid woods. Both my cat and dog are social and accepting of other pets. I have experience introducing nervous pets to both of our mammals and that has gone fine in the past. Our reptiles/arachnids/insects are upstairs in a room that is not accessible to our cat or dog. Our entire downstairs area is accessible to cats and dogs, while our upstairs is only available for cats. Our neighborhood is very walker-friendly and there is a nice park a quarter of a mile away. There is a secluded road on the other side of the woods where there is a farm with horses. I find that this road is an ideal location to learn basic leash walking skills such as not pulling and paying attention to queues. I am also able to drive to large dog parks in the area, take pets to pet-friendly stores for socialization, give baths, play fetch, run, or other cardio-intensive exercises. When watching your pet, I will go the extra mile to make sure your pet is comfortable, happy, and in the best environment you know they want to be. Be it a long, enriching walk, time at a park, or brushing/playtime in the comfort of your home.

Information Windi S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed restrictions. I would like to know their general temperament including how they respond to new people in their home environment, if they have any medical issues I should know about, and what their favorite thing in the world is (a toy, being brushed, fetch, running around, ect).

A typical day

I am willing to go to the locations you know are best for your pet. This includes walks in their favorite areas, drives to their favorite park, play time indoors or outdoors, and scratches in their favorite place.
