Active, Loving, & Patient Pup Pro

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Gwen, a 25 year old UNCC alumni and Realtor/Broker who happens to not only have a passion for homes but also the fur babies within them! I have had immense experience caring for, owning, raising, training and even breeding all types of pets including dogs, cats, horses, chickens, fish, and other little critters! I’m very comfortable with pups of all sizes. I lead an active and healthy lifestyle, love being on my feet walking and running! I have lived in the area for 7 years so I know the best and safest routes to walk your fur baby. I’m comfortable with the youngest of puppies as I have raised 6 yorkies from birth, 2 German shepherd puppies, one chihuahua from 4 weeks old, and a new born kitten whom of all are very happy and healthy! I grew up in Waxhaw in a very rural area, spent most of my time at Carolina Country Acres with my horses or on our property caring for our pups and chickens. I’m extremely familiar with the importance of how each breed has their specific needs, energy levels, and temperaments, so I’m always prepared for anything, and always remain patient and loving. I pride myself in socializing all my animals and teaching dogs that humans are here to simply love, support, and guide them through a healthy and happy life! Look forward to meeting you and your special little ones! Extra Information On My Services: - I have a reliable source of transportation - I have a flexible schedule - Expert experience with cats, dogs, horses, mice, fish, frogs, guinea pigs, chickens - Have owned three 100 lb+ dogs and am comfortable with any size - Will make sure to leave your home better than I found it - Have experience with competitive agility and obedience training - I am comfortable with various forms of giving medication - I am comfortable with Dog Parks - Willing to bathe and groom (see additional rates) - Comfortable with the youngest of pups as well as seniors

Gwen took such great care of our pup Mac while we were traveling! She was always available for updates; asked great, important questions during the intro visit; proactively sent us updates; handled Mac’s medication regiment; and left our home in great condition. Most importantly, Gwen went above and beyond when our flight got grounded in another city as we were about to land, and came back to our home to make sure Mac was well taken care of despite it being several hours later than we anticipated her needing to be there. We highly recommend Gwen to anyone looking for a dog sitter; her love and care for dogs is apparent in all parts of her professionalism and she will undoubtedly do all that she can to ensure your dog and your home are treated like her own.

Once again Gwen was awesome! She was there for her visit early and took lots of pictures. It made us feel better knowing our cats had someone checking in on them while we were gone. Gwen is the best!

I am so grateful I found Gwen! It’s my first time living in an area where I don’t know anybody so when it came time to finding help with my 12 year old pup I was very nervous and I did not want to put her in a kennel. I went away for a long weekend and she updated me through out my trip, great communication, and sent me lots of pictures! I was truly able to relax when I was away. High recommend!!

A typical day

I’m huge on making sure pets stay stimulated. I know that when your pet is away from you, it can cause stress, and anxiety for the pet. My main goal is to minimize those negative emotions by replacing them with good and healthy distractions that promote positive emotions like walking, training, playing, parks, etc.
