Pet care experience
Having had dogs for over twenty years, having studied dog behavior for many years, raised puppies, attended seminars and classes, worked with all types of dogs from shy, timid, hyper, to leash-reactive dogs, volunteered at different shelters, and rescue groups, and been a foster dog mom, I can honestly say I have a genuine appreciation of dogs and believe a meaningful dog-human relationship is based on trust, mutual understanding, exercise, rewards and of course cuddles.
Reviews
Winnie has been such a blessing to find on Rover! We have a very busy season of sports and Winnie has been there every step of the way to help us with our fur child. She goes above and beyond while dropping in on him and makes sure he’s well taken care of while we are away for the day. We are very fortunate to have found her on Rover. 🐾
Winnie is amazing and I am always grateful that she takes such good care of our pets!!
We were so grateful to find Winnie and have her watch our anxious pit-mix, Jackie. Although Jackie is a cuddle-bug at heart, she is fear reactive with strangers, so finding someone confidant and understanding to care for her while we are out of town is always a bit stressful. Winnie was beyond patient and understanding, and as someone who fosters dogs and has a reactive dog of her own, she helped me feel instantly relieved. We're big advocates for positive reinforcement training methods, so it was a huge plus to hear that Winnie feels the same and has even taken classes in dog behavior and training in the past simply because she cares and is interested! Winnie agreed to meet us and Jackie multiple times before her actual stay with us. Jackie loved her immediately and recognized her quickly. During Winnie's stay she kept us updated with lots of photos, and it sounds like she and Jackie had some great fun exploring local trails. I'm sure that Jackie loved the extra exercise and attention. Winnie also took great care of the house while we were gone! We're excited to have someone new in Jackie's "inner circle" and would absolutely work with Winnie again. Many thanks for everything!
Thank you for being able to come on such short notice!

Caring for your dog in my home is an option for dogs who fit in with my pack. The dogs in my house can sleep on beds and couches, but many dog beds are throughout the house. Crate training is an option as well.
Information Winnie R. would like to know about your pet
Would you mind letting me know if your dog has any special needs? For example, is your dog dog-friendly, people-friendly, anxious, or timid? Does your dog need medication, etc? Then, depending on the care required, it will help me figure out the best solution to accommodate your dog.
A typical day
