Pet care experience
Your future pet nanny is right here
I am retired and have been a live- in and live-out nanny for more than 25 years with families who mostly had pets I took care of as well. I grew up with a German Sheperd and felt a natural love for dogs as a child. But later in age I turned into a dedicated and passionate cat mom which I have been for almost 4 decades now until... I fell in undeniable love with a half blind, half deaf 17 year old Mini Schnauzer, a dog of one of my families. When I moved out she came with me and as Covid gave me a hard time being alone she shorthand became my companion for another full year until her last breath. Shortly after I became 18 year old senior kitty mom I was able to give another 9 months of a livable life until she left me forever as well. I have had plenty of challenges to conquer, sleepiness nights with worries to endure but if I had the choice I would do it all over again because the love I shared with them and the memories I made no one ever can take away from me. Since then I took care of the homeless kitties outside. Five of them of which one was a pregnant kitty giving birth to a litter of five turned into my indoor ones. They meanwhile all transitioned from Florida ( my former home where I had the possibility to board dogs and cats) to state Washington. Yes, my heart is big but sometimes still too small to be there for all of those who are in need. My passion and love for animals has meanwhile turned into something I can't live and do without anymore ....sharing it with pet moms and dads who need someone dedicated and trustworthy like me to look after their fur babies while gone. I am living a new chapter in my life now filling it with stories and memories made by you and your beloved pets.

At my clients home I will make sure to get all the necessary care instructions to make a visit/stay a stress free time for everyone involved! Any pet I care for will receive the most love possible, get pampered and spoiled and have lots of fun time with me! And most importantly..forget their mom and dad aren't even home!
Ratings and reviews
Henri loves Winifred! They are very good pals and they have such a good time together. Very happy to have Winifred watching Henri for us! The dog is happy and the home is clean and the plants are watered when we come home. Such a wonderful pet sitter and person too. I highly recommend Winifred
Winnie is fantastic with our pets. She takes great care in loving our animals and treating them like family. We have used her twice with excellent results.
Winifred is so wonderful at taking care of our dog, Henri. She plays so much with him and shows us videos and pictures while we are away. I cannot express how caring and focused and loving she is. She keeps the home clean and tidy during her stay and is very good at what she does. We are so happy to have her support and attention for Henri. We look forward to the next time she watches him for us in a few weeks. Definitely found our special care provider ❤️❤️❤️
Wini is a terrific dog and house sitter. I’m not certain, but I don’t think she ever left our house while she was sitting for us. Which is great; our two shepherds were seldom (if ever) alone. She gave us plenty of feedback during her stay, and it was clear she enjoyed our dogs. It was also clear from her updates and photos that our dogs didn’t deviate one bit from their normal routine. This is *SO* much better than kenneling them. There are some great kennel operations around Spokane, but nothing comes close to this. When we returned, I’m not sure our dogs even missed us (kinda sad about that part!). Our house was left in immaculate condition. Wini gets our highest commendation, and we will be inviting her back.
Wini was great sitter for our dogs and a great steward of our home. From the first time our dogs met Wini, it was apparent that they were comfortable with her. I would highly recommend reserving her services and we will in the future 100%!
Wini was wonderful! Our dogs loved her and our cat even warmed up to her. She wrote messages everyday and sent lots of pictures. The house was left in perfect condition and we would love to use her again. Thanks Wini 🥰
