“Monica was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, always responsive, and kept us updated the entire time. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation because we had a great feeling about her from the very beginning. When we came back, the cats were happy — and that’s all we could ever ask for. She also sent us very cute pictures throughout the stay. Thank you so much, Monica!”


About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.
“Wendy is amazing! She was considerate enough to want to meet prior to sitting with our pup to make sure we were all comfortable. She is genuine, sweet and professional! Thanks so much Wendy!”

My full time job allows me to be flexibly so I would be able to tailor me schedule to your pets needs. I care for your home with the same attention and respect I give to your pets. Keeping things cleaned, secure, and exactly as you left them. From watering plants to collecting mail and maintaining routines, I ensure peace of mind while you’re away.
