Information Gwen D. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

When your pup is with us they will get plenty of exercise! I love to run and walking/exercising is a daily activity for me and the pups that we watch!

Pets

Only one dog at a time! : )

Pet care experience

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!
