Pet care experience

Only one dog at a time! : )

I want to give your pup the most love and care as possible so I take only one dog at time! My family loves dogs and have had dogs most of my life. They have always been a part of the family and I will treat your pet the same way. I live in a beautiful neighborhood for long walks. I am a runner too so I can provide extra exercise for those high energy dogs. I have two young adults (16 & 18) in the home that love dogs as well. I have a very flexible schedule as I work close to home so I visit on my break. If your dog needs a clean, non-smoking, safe and calm place to stay while your away please contact me as I would love to help!

Echo had a great time with Gwen and family. Lots of walks and she came home tired and happy. Definitely recommend!

Gwen and her family were fantastic! She helped us feel very comfortable leaving our dog with her for a whole week. It was our first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent us pictures and gave us updates daily. She was always available for communication as well. Our dog was so happy there, we could really tell! Would highly recommend and use again.

Please be honest with me when you reach out! Is your dog high energy or aggressive? Do they get along with children? How does he/she get along with other dogs with size, breed, sex, etc. What is their temperament and do they have any special needs? Is the dog house trained? Spayed/neutered?
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.
