House Sitting Stella Mann

“We have three dogs that are on a holistic diet that is complicated. Demarquez P. did everything we asked for. And he thought nothing of watering our plants and checking the mail. We came home to happy, well-cared for pups, and a well looked- after home. We appreciated the daily updates with pictures, so we never worried about how the dogs were doing. Demarquez responded to any message very quickly. Hoping to make him my go-to Rover for all of our trips.”

“Nina sent daily updates of my big buddy while we were gone on a week long trip and left the house in the same condition she got it! Thank you Nina!”

Lindsey B.

“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”

Araceli T.

“Elena is absolutely the best! She took care of my high anxiety Australian Shepherd and got his trust super fast. She has the sweetest personality and I got daily updates on how my babies were doing. She will be my number 1 go to person from here on out to stay at my home to watch my babies again.”

Zan W.

“Sara was wonderful-sent pictures daily with updates-pets happy and content when we returned home. Our home was left in perfect condition. She is a kind and caring individual who we will most certainly use again. Would give her ten stars if we could! Patti and Bill”

Patti S.

“We’re so glad we found Elizabeth! We felt at ease leaving the dogs with them because they are caring. They sent updates, pictures, and videos of our dogs which gave us peace of mind. We were a little bit worried because one of our dogs is a rescue who does not trust people immediately, but he felt so comfortable with Elizabeth and they were great with him. We’re lucky to have found Elizabeth on rover and hope to have them watch our dogs again in the future! Thank you Elizabeth!”

Kevin M.

“Annalyn is compassionate, detail oriented and has a gift for bringing out the good side in your pet. We highly recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”

Timothy C.

“Jenna did a great job for us -- house sitting and taking care of our cat, Cosmo. He's super sweet and friendly, but needs to get a pill 2x/day, and pilling a cat is not easy like pilling a dog. She also watered plants, both inside and outside, and they flourished while we were away. She left our home in good order and was very dependable. I highly recommend Jenna.”

Rain D.

“Danielle has come for drop ins and a few nights of housesitting. The most important thing was that my dogs love her! But, she also took great care of the house, followed instructions and provided check-ins so I knew everything was going well. Happy to recommend or use her services again.”

Stacia R.

“Cass was wonderful with my fur babies. She took the time to play with them and kept them entertained. They enjoyed her company. Cass was very respectful with them. Thank you Cass for being amazing with my fur babies!”

Ann L.

“Jaidyn did a great job watching our 2 large dogs for the week. She was on-time, communicative, and responsive. We came home to a clean house and 2 happy and healthy pups. We will use her again.”

Chelsea S.

“Hay took such great care of our pups. Very responsive. Updated us regularly (but not too much). Our pups have some unique quirks that Hay had zero trouble managing. We felt comfortable and confident knowing the dogs were in good hands. Not to mention, an overall lovely person!”

Patty D.

“Paco was a happy little guy when we arrived home, he looked well taken care of and our home did also. We are very pleased with the care given to Paco. .”

Michele Y.

“I am so happy I found Lisa to pet sit my cat while we were traveling on a camping trip. Lisa stayed overnight with Lilly and provided updates and photos during the stay. I felt so calm knowing my baby was being taken care of so well! We came back to a clean house and everything in perfect order. I look foward to working with Lisa again in the future and HIGHLY recommend her!! It can be scary trusting your pet with a new person but you are in perfect hands with Lisa ? She is great with pets, kind, respectful, and communicative.”

Megan W.

“Marie is a miracle worker! She went above and beyond to care for my pups! My very hesitant deaf dog welcomes her with joy! Thanks so much Marie! You jumped in last minute, communicated incredibly, and felt like a true support while I was across the world more than once! Those who read this - PLEASE MEET MARIE!”

Lauren R.

“She was absolutely amazing with my three dogs over July 4th even as they were nervous about the fireworks! She was very communicative, respectful of our home, cleaned up after herself and even left us Polaroid pictures of our dogs!”

Dianne M.

“Sara was wonderful with our pup. He loved her instantly. Sara is dependable and flexible. She left our house in immaculate shape. I highly recommend Sara!”

About: Wonderland Dog Resort and Spa is a Doggy Vacation Destination! (Find our NEW page on Facebook) We LOVE dogs in this home! All breeds, all sizes, all ages and ESPECIALLY senior dogs! I have been training, walking, grooming, feeding, and otherwise raising four-legged babies for 32 years. I've cared for many types of dogs with different abilities and special care needs including Duke, a senior golden retriever with severe allergies, a hernia, arthritis, and bone cancer- an energetic 175lb. Yellow lab named Kato, who had search and rescue training best used to deroot small trees during fetch, and to locate his favorite tug-rope for endless hours of training reinforcement, known to him only as "playtime", -a frail teddybear rescue named Chug, with debilitating anxiety and canine behavioral disorder, requiring medication- and Xeno, a husky variety, who requires constant exercise and attention, to name a few. Good pet care comes from recognizing each animal as an individual with needs and then meeting those needs. There is no such thing as a bad dog. Only humans whom don't understand animal cues and how to effectively communicate with them. My goal is to build a relationship with each pet and their families to not only offer needed boarding and walking services, but to support their personal or medical needs and training journey as well. In my home we focus on learning through fun and positive reinforcement for good behavior. Dogs can expect treats for following commands, defecating or urinating outside, and for a reward after bathing or grooming, with owner consent. Dogs requiring medication are welcome, and again will be given a treat for taking meds, with owner consent. Treats are always provided free of charge and you are welcome to supply your own if your dog has dietary restrictions. What to expect: All visiting dogs who are ambulatory are walked a minimum every 2-3 hours and offered playtime in our shaded grass yard for 30-45 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day, unless it is unsafe to do so due to weather. When visiting you, I strive to closely follow your itinerary when provided, or provide well rounded care without instruction through walks, playtime with toys, obedience training, and affection. When not out enjoying activites, visiting dogs will be in an air-conditioned home with access to dog-beds and toys, and unless requested, are not discouraged from going on furniture. There will be other dogs present, since we have 2 very friendly registered service dogs of our own. If we come to you we do not bring our dogs unless requested to do so. Dogs will interact and train with our child to encourage behavioral and training growth in a distracting atmosphere. All dogs will have a safe environment and compassionate care while their humans are away. We will love your fur-babies like they are our own loved ones, every single time, no matter the challenges they face. Dogs dietary and medical needs are my top priority. All feeding and medication schedules will be followed with the strictest adherence. Visiting dogs not on dietary restrictions have unregulated access to food and water while boarding, unless requested otherwise. In home feedings will be as scheduled by client but water will always be checked/changed/filled. Positive reinforcement is our method. We have 2 registered service dogs of our own and will happily assist your training journey. Dogs will be rewarded with treats, unless otherwise requested, any time they go potty outside, follow commands, take meds, bathe, or otherwise complete a task appropriately. All dogs have access to toys, beds, and a crate during boarding. When at my home, leashes are required outdoors, except when we visit the dog park. When visiting your home my goal is to make that visit the highlight of your dogs life! I strive to play with all pets in my care. If your dogs do not take interest in toys, as has been my experience that not all do, that time is spent with cuddles, belly rubs, and command response training, in addition to the scheduled walk or potty break. I make sure the pet feels quality time was spent with them by someone who came just to see them and values their importance in the family. When at my home, dogs are allowed to move freely throughout the house. We have laminate floors that are easy on allergies and make accidents easy to clean up. We keep our home quite cool, with central air, which is great for northern breeds, and we offer plenty of warm soft places to curl up, otherwise. Your pets will be treated like a member of our family. We love animals and want them to have the happiest day of their lives whether they visit us or we come to them. Bathing services offered for non-aggressive pups. Wonderland Dog Resort is in operation 24 hours a day, over 350 days of the year, offering both holiday and extended stay care and is my full-time career, as the owner and operator. Mommy and daddy know best! We follow all itineraries provided and are extremely diligent about following medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and other special needs. We specialize in (but are not limited to) Special Needs dogs. The safety of our pups is our number one concern! We also work with them on command response training to help ensure future safety after they leave. Pet patents recieve photo and video updates an the end of every day. Dogs can expect lots of pets, treats, fetch, tug, gentle brushings, walks, car rides, snuggles, trips to the dog park, and lots of socialization! All dogs are kept on slip-resistant leashes at all times, when not at the dog park. We go out for potties every 1.5-2 hours, walk every 4 hours, and go to the dog park nightly. Dogs socialize under close supervision and are trained on proper socialization. Wonderland is set-up for comfort. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most are able to sleep in our bed with us or are welcome to chose from the large selection of crates, beds, pillows, and blankets. Dog toys are rotated every few days to keep playtime interesting. We keep pups engaged and active and provide companionship to timid and anxious dogs, who may be less playful or experiencing their first time away from home.

“Pleasant to work with. Very accommodating with a last minute reservation. Helped keep our travels stress free. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking if needed the services”
