About: Hi! I'm a work-from-home dog mom with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—and I'd love to help care for yours, too! Whether you're working long hours or headed out of town, I offer reliable, loving care tailored to your pet's needs. I currently share my home with two friendly pups, a small husky mix and a golden retriever, and a pre-teen who’s just as dog-obsessed as I am. I’ve previously owned a springer spaniel mix and grew up with Shih Tzus, so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to cuddly lap dogs. When I’m not walking or snuggling pups, I’m working in the pet industry, so animals are truly at the center of my life. I offer: Weekday walks and potty breaks while you’re at work Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, or medications In-my-home overnight boarding (as long as your dog gets along with mine!) Let’s chat about your pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences, because every dog deserves personalized care while you're away. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home in the pet industry, so I have the flexibility to stop by your home during the day for walks, potty breaks, or check-ins. I typically run my kid to activities in the evenings and occasionally work pet-related events on Saturdays, but otherwise, my schedule is wide open for drop-ins and dog time. Caring for pets is part of both my job and my joy. I’m happy to help whenever I can! In our home, pets are treated like family. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and even sleep in bed with me. That said, I'm happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including crating if that’s what they’re used to. Every pup is different and I want them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and routines. Whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, giving medications, or keeping up with house rules. I know that finding someone to care for your pet can feel overwhelming, so I aim to make it as stress-free as possible. I offer open communication, regular updates, and always schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone, especially your pup!

About: I have extensive experience with understanding dog and cat behaviors and body language. I can almost always befriend a shy, or less confident pet in a short amount of time, given the right resources I'm currently in a program that takes up a majority of my time during the week. I have much more free time on weekends to spend time with your furry friends! My home does not allow pets indoors, but I will be able to adhere to any requirements you set for both myself and your pets!

“5 Star! Excellent caregiver. Deklan hit every requirement on our list. No missed visits, great photos of the girls, let us know when the girls were a little "off" so we could discuss any change in care. We had been using a boarding kennel but the week before our vacation our kennel notified us of an outbreak of kennel cough and our vet suggested we get a sitter in our home instead. We couldn't have asked for better sitter on short notice. Would definitely book again!”


About: I’ve taken many of neighbors dogs for walks, have watched friends and families dogs while they been on vacation since I could drive, and I’m always willing to learn more knowledge from you and others. I’ve taken care for 3 dogs, a cat, 10 fish, and chickens for 3 months while family friend was out of town. I’m currently working part time and have a pretty much open schedule, looking to fill my day with puppy and cat love! Always available weekends! For past pets I’ve had, I’ve used crate training and used leash and collar. I’m willing to take dogs to dog parks if they are friendly and if you are okay with me doing so as well!

Wendy W.
“I would highly recommend Wendy as a dog sitter. She has been a good friend of mine for years and loves dogs and all animals very much. At one point, she took my dog into her home for a weekend. Another time, she stayed at my house for a week and took excellent care of both my dog, who is a rather rambunctious and high energy lab, and also my cat. She would play with the dog outside throwing balls and run him every day. My dog just loves her and his tail is wagging in all directions when he sees her coming to the door. She is excellent with all animals and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She is very trustworthy and I had no second thoughts about her staying in my home.”

She truly cares about people and their pets, and it shows. 100% Trust, ehich is what I need.”
