Safety, trust & environment

I will leave your space in the condition I found it and follow your instructions for the home and animals closely. Let me know if there are any commands, behaviors, or tricks you’d like me to work on with them!

Information Gwen D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what a typical day looks like for your pet so I can keep them as close to your regular schedule as possible. I like to know if your dog is reactive to specific things, has allergies, and any specific command words they respond well to. I also like to know what types of activities/play your pet enjoys engaging in. I appreciate written instructions.

A typical day

On walks I let dogs pick the pace and often the direction. Different breeds, different needs. We can also play in the yard or a nearby dog park depending on owner preferences.

Every pet is truly unique and I enjoy meeting each one where they are and trying to understand their specific wants and needs according to their behaviors. My animal behavior courses have come in handy! Open to farm animal care, as well.

Gwen was patient with our mastiff that can be slow to warm up. By the end of day one he was relaxing and by the end of the stay, they were friends. I appreciate the effort to win over my big bashful guy

Gwen did a fabulous job in home sitting for our dog. She sent daily photos and updates as we traveled for the week. Tucker was well taken care of and we came back to a well taken care of home as well. Id highly recommend her services!

Gwen is such a blessing- she went above and beyond when our old lady cat needed medicine on a schedule and needed extra care. She has been caring for our pets for two years and we trust her completely.

Gwen was incredible with our crew! She has a calming energy that our anxious pups appreciated. She was amazing with our dogs and cat alike and problem solved their quirks seamlessly. We look forward to her staying in our home for future trips!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
