My dog absolutely loves going to Wendy. She does an amazing job giving each dog so much love and attention. I've never seen my dog so excited to see anyone- every time we're on her block (even in passing when we're not going to day care), he always drags me to her lobby. She does a really great job updating me throughout the day with pictures and comments on how my dog's doing- you can tell in these photos how ecstatic he is (the Maltipoo). During the initial consultation, Wendy did a very thorough job taking notes on any conditions or concerns regarding my dog along with emergency contacts/vet info/dietary restrictions/etc. It's evident that her number one priority is the safety and well being of every dog she looks after. It would be very difficult to go anywhere else after my positive experience with Wendy! read more

Wendy has been lovingly caring for my Maltese Jackson for the past 7 years. She not only cares for him at her home during my frequent travels, she has also been giving him his daily walks for the past 4 years as well. As much as it pains me ;), Jackson's favorite part of his day are his midday walks with Wendy. He's always so thrilled to see her! He comes home after a retreat at her home (when I'm traveling) happy, calm and in amazing spirits. I trust Wendy implicitly with care of my fur baby. She treats Jackson like her own. She knows animals so well, and provides such detailed, responsible and thoughtful care, I'm never concerned - and he loves her. To me, she's responsive, flexible and so very kind. She has been a dream to work with. I highly recommend Wendy's services for anyone that wants peace of mind and a very happy pup :). Neither of you will be disappointed! read more

Wendy is the best. We all know how hard it is to leave our loved ones, pets, family member with a stranger. Well I met many that told me about Wendy and it was all true. My little Parker is madly in love with her. He leaps from his bag when he hears her voice. Wendy's concerns are safety, a loving atmosphere, proper care. It is so great to know that if Parker is with Wendy, he is safe, warm, and maybe having a treat or more than usual. :). I recommend Wendy full on! She is great for short and longer term care. SHE IS GREAT!! Thanks Wendy! read more

Wendy watched our little guy, Caffrey, for 10 days while my husband and I went on our honeymoon. We found Wendy's Pet Care on the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters website. She is bonded and insured which was important when searching for a pet sitter. This was our first experience with hiring a pet care service and we were initially nervous. However, Wendy put all our anxieties to rest with her warm nature and genuine love of animals. Caffrey immediately bonded with her and we knew he would be well taken care of while we were away. Throughout our trip, we got updates from Wendy on her visit with Caffrey with pictures included. I would highly recommend Wendy's Pet Care to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She was wonderful and we will absolutely be using Wendy again. read more

Wendy is great - my dog loves her. She's really nice, and she comes to meet you downstairs. So glad we live near her.

BEST care for dogs ANYWHERE! First, I must say have been using Wendy's Pet Care for years. My 13-year-old Yorkie adores her and literally cries when he leaves her after a long stay. Wendy is a first rate professional and true lover of animals. She provides the most consistent and loving care I have ever seen. She has a consistent schedule for her guest pets - meals, walks, socializing and relaxation are all a part of a structured day. She texts at least once per day with pics and updates. It's my doggie's home-away-from-home and healing spa. She is an intuitive and is able to communicate with her pet guests and help them all get along and enjoy each other. She understands and loves each of them. She keeps current in the research on dog nutrition, and has helped me, under the guidance of my veterinarian, to keep my dog healthy and strong - providing links, information and guidance when I ask. When I leave my dog with her I do not worry about him I know he is having a great time. She has a confidence caring for animals that does not come natural to me so I lean on her a lot when my dog is experiencing difficulties as he ages. Now, for the real differentiator! Three times Wendy has cared for my dog after surgery or illness and I cannot tell you what a relief it has been. I work and travel and could not administer the medical instructions from my vet, and healing care my dog needed after hip surgery, when he was recovering from an auto immune disease AND most recently when he had a cancerous tumor removed from his anal gland. I was upset and scared and Wendy stepped in and provided the care my dog needed. She cleared her schedule for when my dog needed intensive care, followed all veterinary directions with medications, wound and general care and kept me up to date on his progress throughout the day. She also, under my vet's direction, researched and started him on a new diet so he would not get cancer again. She is a true healer. My dog not only got expert healing care but was in a loving, healing and relaxing environment where he could get heal best. During his recovery time I had to travel for work and was relieved to know that she could once again provide his post op care. This may be a new niche for pet providers, I am not sure. If this is something you might need for your animal I highly suggest Wendy's Pet Care you will not find better or more loving care. If you are like me and you work, travel or just don't feel confident to provide after surgery care you will find a treasure in Wendy. She is truly gifted! I feel it is her calling. read more

Wendy is fantastic! She's all you can hope for in a pet sitter. She watched our cat, Adagio, for one week while we were on vacation and her daily texts with photos and updates never failed to put us at ease. She is extremely professional, uber organized, and truly caring. Thank you Wendy! read more

Wendy is a phenomenal person! Her whole life is for animals, or that is how it seems. She is ALWAYS available to me and is ALWAYS so responsible and thorough while taking care of my pet. She is VERY organized and does not miss anything. That describes her business side, now to the loving and caring side. This is even bigger, she cares so much for my pet, from following exactly how I like things to be done, to going above and beyond to make the pet feel so loved and cared for. I have never felt so comfortable with my pet being left before. Thank you read more

Wendy is awesome! My cats are 10 and 11 years old and I've moved a few times so have used different sitters. Wendy's Pet Care is a high quality service. When I return from a trip, the kitties don't even seem to have noticed because they were given attention while I was gone. Love the check-ins and photos after each visit. I've been very pleased and would highly recommend. read more

Wendy has been our cat sitter for over a decade now. She is exactly what you would want in a pet caretaker: consistent, caring, and calming. In 2015, our cat Truffle was diagnosed with pancreatitis and the vet assured us that an esophageal feeding tube would be the best chance for getting her healthy. It required tube feedings through a syringe in her neck multiple times a day and I felt completely overwhelmed and terrified. Wendy joined me at the vet's office. She held the camera steady so we would have the video of the nurse's step by step instructions. She did all of this for me and with me, and so she could help Truffle--and other pets in the future, if needed. That is how dedicated Wendy is to her work and her clients. Truffle did get her tube out and went back to eating regularly and we were very fortunate to have more time with her. We would not have had that without Wendy. read more

Wendy has been caring for my dogs for several years now. When I first started using her services, I had an aging Shiba Inu with a rather complicated regimen of special foods and meds, and Wendy handled it all perfectly. He wasn't the easiest guy to walk, either, because he was blind in one eye and a bit nervous out on the street. Again, not a problem for Wendy, she always knew exactly what to do. Since Sami passed away, Wendy has cared for my second dog, as well, this time a young and exuberant rescue who likes to chase a ball and will eat anything and everything. In other words, pretty much the opposite of my first one. His care, too, she has handled in just the appropriate way. I could not be more happy with Wendy's attentive care of my precious boys. She asks a lot of questions, to make sure that she can give her charges exactly the care their owners expect. As others have said, she is extremely organized and professional, and that has always gone far in giving me confidence in her ability to care for my dogs just as well as I do. And probably the most important thing of all is that Wendy loves animals, plain and simple. It is very obvious from the time you meet her (and she meets your pet!). Both my boys have loved her and have always been very happy to see her. A few weeks ago I dropped Ollie off to Wendy as I was on my way out of town, and she met me outside her building. I was afraid Ollie might balk at leaving my side, so after standing on the sidewalk and chatting for a bit, I handed her the leash and ducked into my car while he was distracted by another dog. As I peeked out from inside my car, I just got a glimpse of Ollie's tail end as he happily trotted into the building behind Wendy, without so much as a backward glance. Knowing he was so happy to go with her made it much easier for me to leave him, and enjoy my week's vacation! read more

New to New York City and never having used a pet sitting service before, Wendy eased all of my fears. It was lovely to meet with her before she began care for our two cats, and she sent wonderful daily updates with photos to keep us in the loop while we were away. My cats, who are normally skittish around strangers, were so at ease with Wendy from the very first visit. She is a true pet whisperer! read more

My little Chablis boarded at Wendy's a few times this past year, while I am away on business trips, and I couldn't be more grateful to have such a comfortable and reliable place for her to stay. I've had my dog for over 5 years now and, as a 6 pound Maltese, she is mild and sweet but fiercely loyal and a little spazzy sometimes with new people. She warmed up to Wendy almost immediately and each time she stayed with her following her first boarding, she has run into Wendy's building, knowing that mommy is going away and she gets to spend some QT with Wendy. While slightly over my budget, the cost is worth the personalized care and attention Wendy provides-- sending daily updates with photos of their walks and playtime. Highly recommend! read more

NYC Dog Walking Review Only: Wendy is absolutely amazing! I spent 4 days last week looking for a dog walker. Who knew that this kind of service would be so hard to find in Manhattan? A lot of the larger groups ignored my calls or had an incredibly delayed response. My dog was just rescued, and I gave full disclosure of this to anyone I spoke to that he is still nervous in the city (granted he is less than 5 pounds, so everyone I spoke to was okay with this idea). I interviewed a few dog walkers, and I didn't feel comfortable letting them walk my dog (let alone receiving a set of keys to my home!). Wendy came over and was a breath of fresh air. She obviously had a lot of experience with dogs and my dog warmed up to her very quickly (a relief after he spent the last 45 minutes hiding behind me from the previous interviewee!) Everyday, I receive a friendly update on my dog and a photo emailed to me. She seems to genuinely care for my dog, which every pet owner wants. She does dog walks alone and is very fairly priced. I would recommend her to anyone! She is so sweet, knoweldgeable, and responsible. read more

Wendy cared for our three year old cat, June, for a week while we were away. Wendy was very thorough in her initial meeting with us and made us feel confident June would be well taken care of. Wendy sent us daily updates with pictures. We will definitely use her services again in the future! read more

Wendy provided the best home visits to my cats while I was on vacation. She is thoughtful, caring and thorough. I trust her 100%. Glad to have her around. Will keep using her service. read more

Wendy is a the consummate professional. She has a sincere love for dogs and she truly cares about their health and welfare. My dog loved her and he was very picky, he only liked the very best of everything! She listens, understands and customizes her care to your pet's special needs. I couldn't recommend her highly enough! read more

Wendy is a gem. As someone whose dog experienced hind leg injuries over the past two years, I was originally concerned about introducing my dog to a new walker. However, Wendy quickly put my mind at ease with how well she listened and how consistent and reliable she is with her communication. Plus, my dog loves her! I highly recommend Wendy to anyone seeking thorough, caring, and quality care for their pet. read more

Wendy is wonderful. She was recommended to me by a neighbor in my building and has taken excellent care of my cat while I've been away on several business trips. She even texts updates and photos! Further, she is extremely responsive to email/text. I highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. read more

Wendy is so wonderful! She took care of our sweet kitten a few months ago and she was perfect. We received daily updates and fun photos of our Casper while we were away. We are happy to have found such a great cat sitter! read more

Wendy is the best. She took care of our 14-year-old corgi, Candy, with a walk each day during the week, and it was clear she treated her as if she were her own dog. Wendy was 100% reliable, and would even go out of her way to help with unscheduled walks when necessary. She would send pictures she took of Candy on her walks with her each day, which my husband and I greatly appreciated. I would recommend Wendy to anyone without reservation. read more

Wendy has been watching our cat for over a year now and takes wonderful care of him while we are away. She is very professional and reliable. We love that she sends us daily photo updates. We will definitely continue to call Wendy the next time we are out of town! read more

Can't say enough good things about Wendy. For starters she is VERY organized which is very helpful. Wendy is very quick to respond, keeps a thorough calendar, and keeps very detailed notes and records of what YOU want for your dog. I've used other people that were very good, but they always thought THEY knew what was best. Wendy listens to what you want for your dog, and follows through. She will always let us know in advance if there is another dog staying with her and will assess if she thinks it is a good fit for both dogs. And Wendy also sends you daily morning updates with a picture to let you know how your dog is doing. What's better than being away on vacation? Being on vacation and getting a fun email and pic seeing our dog happy and safe every day- we really look forward to those emails each morning! I can't understate how helpful it is as a hectic New Yorker like myself to be able to count on Wendy as sometimes people in the pet care community tend to be a bit flaky. Now on to the really important part, I fully trust and am at ease when Wendy cares for our dog because I can tell how much she LOVES dogs. I found Wendy online when we were in a late bind because our normal caregiver was unavailable. I was very nervous about trying a stranger out and met with Wendy to introduce our dog and to chat with her. After a nice visit with her and my dog, I knew we found someone great. We have a frenchie and they can be needy: having to avoid the real hot weather and always needing water, special feeding routines, etc. And because Wendy is so well organized, and because she loves animals so much, I know she will take care of him just as we would, and with just as much love. She really is a gift to people and animals alike. I'm so glad I found her. I wanted to let people know that I'm real, I tend to be neurotic about the care of our dog, and let people know I am fully comfortable with Wendy taking care of our dog, and you should be too. read more
