About the Wonder Team
About Us and Our Mission
At Wonder Pups our mission is to provide high quality professional pet sitting, dog walking, and dog training to you and your pets. We aim to treat every family and every pet the way we would want ourselves and our own pet’s treated.
Our inspiration, the puppy who started it all, is a dog named Wonder. Every single one of our services is designed to be what we would want for Wonder herself. Even though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit continues to inspire us to be the best.
Meet The WONDER Team!
There are basic everyday pet sitters and then there are WONDER SITTERS! All of our Wonder Sitters are background checked, Pet Sitter certified, CPR/Pet first aid certified, and ready to make sure your pets wag and purr with delight. They are the ONLY dual certified team in Okaloosa County
Leia
Owner, certified dog trainer, professional pet groomer
I grew up in the Crestview area and have been training and competing with dogs since childhood across the county as well as internationally. I became a professional dog trainer when I graduated from high school and then decided to explore the world of grooming. I groomed professionally for 15 years and have been training dogs for the last 30 years. I LOVE every moment!!
I am currently owned by my dogs Marvel, Cypher, and Wanda the Wonder Whippet. My family and I have a great love for exotic animals and livestock and my animal family also includes various reptiles, birds, and chickens. My favorite thing is to spend a quiet morning or evening watching my dogs play and listening to our chickens while enjoying a cup of coffee.
Kendra
Pet Sitter
Hi I’m Kendra! I moved to Crestview in 2010 when I was active duty military. I enjoyed the area
so much that I decided to call it home after retiring in 2013.
I love the beaches and paddle
boarding is one of my favorite outdoor activities.
I am so happy to be a part of the Wonder Pups team and have had so much fun getting to meet
and care for all the wonder family pets.
I have learned so much since joining the team in May
2024 and look forward to improving my skills even further in order to provide the best care
possible.
Dalton McNeff
Pet Sitter
Hi there, I'm Dalton! I recently moved to Crestview, Florida, from rural Nevada, and I'm eager to dive into life in this new community.
Growing up on my family's ranch out west, animals have always been a big part of my world. Whether it was caring for family pets or working with livestock, I've developed a deep appreciation for the bond between humans and animals. Now, I'm excited to bring that passion to Wonder Pup's!
In my free time, you can often find me soaking up the Florida sunshine, whether I'm shooting hoops on the basketball courts, lounging at the beach, or simply exploring the town with friends.
Since joining the team at Wonder Pup's in December 2023, I've been on a continuous journey of learning and growth, soaking up valuable knowledge from every avenue. I'm excited to keep expanding my skills and knowledge in the future!
Caitlyn
Pet Sitter
Hi, I'm Caitlyn! The military brought my husband and I here not too long ago and we've loved
every second of it so far. I'm originally from Washington state so a West coast girly. I'm an old
soul so in my free time you'll find me gardening, crafting, or with my nose in a book haha. I grew
up in the country where my family had all kinds of animals from dogs to goats and pigs, so I've
always had a passion and love for all animals. I entered the military straight out of high school
and went on to become a medic/ Nurse. I traveled and experienced many things not alot of
people can say they have at that age. After six years of service I decided to hang up the boots
and found myself a little lost in where I wanted to go. It was a struggle, but when I discovered
Wonder Pups and how passionate Leia and the whole team is with animals, I instantly knew that
this was where I wanted to be. I've enjoyed every second with our wonderful clients fur babies
and I'm excited to see what the future holds! 🙂
Anna
Pet Sitter
Hi, I’m Anna Summers, and I’m thrilled to be part of Wonder Pup’s Pet Sitting Service team!
Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I have experience with pets of all
kinds. As a proud dog mom to three amazing pups, I understand how much your furry friends
mean to you. My goal is to ensure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away.
I pride myself on being reliable and attentive, always tailoring my care to fit the unique needs of
each pet. When I’m not spending time with animals, I enjoy going to the movies, volunteering
with my church’s student ministry, exploring our beautiful Emerald Coast area, and spending
time with my family.
It’s a joy to care for your pets, and I look forward to earning your trust and giving you peace of
mind!”
Nicholas
Wonder Kid
While not officially employed by Wonder Pups (because he isn’t old enough) many of our wonder families know and love Nick. He helps keep things running smoothly by making sure our training field is mowed and kept ready for our dog training classes and organizes our stay and play dog’s items to keep them from getting lost. He is also the VP of cuddling for all Wonder Pups visiting for stay and play or training services.
Nick and his Australian Cattle Dog Bullet successfully compete in dog sports and are both active participants in our local 4-H programs. He is quite the accomplished junior dog trainer and enjoys working with his dog as well as helping in training classes as a distraction or a friendly stranger.
