Pet care experience

I’ll spoil your babies rotten! 🧡🐾

Human and Dog psychology: I’ve been studying human psychology for 6 years and dog psychology for 2. I’ve been doing this as a hobby, not academically. I love learning about behavior, body language, thought processes, and how trauma affects the brain. Although I am NOT a professional dog trainer, learning about how to approach dogs, read their body language, and inspecting their health has helped me tremendously in successfully taking care of dogs. Senior Care: Dogs and Cats with hidden or obvious disabilities/illnesses. (Giving meds, preforming CPR, Heimlich maneuver, seizure care, taking your pet to doc appointments, mood swings, limited activities) Post-Surgery: (Making sure cones, casts, or accessories stay on throughout the day. Exercise/physical therapy. Careful handling, and creating a safe environment to ensure a successful recovery.) Upbringing: I’ve grown up with various pets, including: Fish, Birds, Lizards, Chickens, Cats, and Hamsters. I was always taking in strays, building makeshift shelters and feeding areas for animals or critters.

Gwen was great! My cat is shy and she warmed up to her. I will definitely be using her again!

Second time she's taken care of our 3 crazy cats, and she did a great job. Highly recommend her.

I have worked with Gwen once before, and just like last time, Gwen provided excellent care for my dog. Completing a return visit with her was so convenient because she was already aware of my pup's needs and how to get to our home. She did a great job taking our dog on walks, feeding her, and sending us cute updates throughout the day. Thank you, Gwen, for another great couple of days working with our pup!

Gwen did a great job looking after our 3 cats. We have a pretty detailed routine for them because they don't all get along. They were well taken care of and we really appreciated the updates, complete with pics and videos, that she regularly sent. We will definitely hope she's available for our next family trip. Highly recommend her.

Gwen was an amazing pet-sitter for our pup! From our first interactions to our meet and greet and her stay with our dog, Gwen was always very professional, and it was clear that she was knowledgeable and passionate about providing great care for pets. We appreciated her updates during her booking, and we highly recommend her services. Thank you, Gwen, for a great pet-sitting experience!
