Wendy was punctual, friendly, loving toward my kitties, and followed their routines precisely. My two kitties, Lenny and Lucy, were well-taken care of, I could tell. Lucy never once came out for Wendy (Lenny was the opposite; he provided entertainment for her, lol), but when I got home, Lucy was so relaxed, it was clear that she was not nervous or distressed---she felt cared for! I will call on Wendy again any time I leave town in the future. Thanks, Wendy, thumbs up!

About: I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life, from our current German Shepherd and Siberian Husky to the two pugs we adopted when I was in high school to the lovey dog we found as a kid that we named Scooby-Doo because he looked just like him. I’ve helped care for all of them from walks around the block to feeding time to going outside just for potty and play time. I’ve also helped out a few friends with their dogs since high school while they were away. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a decently open schedule after my kids go to school in the morning and once my husband gets home from work during the week and am available during all hours of the weekend. If you are comfortable with your pets coming to my house I have two very friendly dogs who love play dates if your fur babies play well with others and a big back yard and a fenced in side yard for plenty of running around room or games of fetch. If I’m watching your dog(s) at your home I will follow whatever schedule you have for them on top of making time for play, walks and love so that they don’t feel neglected in any way while you are away. I also am more than comfortable with giving them baths if need be.

I’m so passionate about protecting their safety and making sure they are well cared for.
