And While You're Away

Hello and welcome.

My name is Wendy and I am – And While You’re Away.
I’m a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS).

PSI’s CPPS-Certified Professional Pet Sitter^® Exam provides candidates with the only knowledge-based assessment designed specifically for professional pet sitters. PSI’s exam requires that candidates demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed and prosper as professional pet sitters.

I have been providing professional at-your-home pet, plant, and home care services for many years.  My commitment is to provide a safe, healthy, fun, and loving experience for my pet clients in the comfort of their own familiar surroundings.

I am licensed, bonded, insured, and Pet CPR/First Aid Certified to offer professional, trustworthy and relaxed “treat-them-like-they’re-mine” care for your pet, plant, and home needs when you have to be away.

While I could be called an “over the top” animal lover I like to think that I have struck a good balance over my lifetime:

For as long as I can remember I have surrounded myself with animals.

As kid growing up in a family with multiple dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs and hamsters, I took long hikes, and often returned home with rescues.  My dad helped me clean them up and adopt them out.  Later, as a teen, I worked in a veterinary office after school and on weekends.  As an adult, I found many abandoned and injured animals and helped get them fixed up; I  found their owners and/or re-homed them with loving families.

Today, I  volunteer for local animal/rescue groups and hold a certificate from A Pet’s World Pet Sitters’ Academy.  In 2001, I joined PET SITTERS INTERNATIONAL and started my own professional pet sitting/dog walking business.

I would love to hear from you; I have several excellent references and a packet of additional information I can send to you upon request.
Feel free to contact me with any questions by calling or texting 530-613-PETS (7387). Thank you.
