10/10 Experience ★★★★★ Gwen was fantastic with Rivi. She was communicative throughout the stay, sending regular updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind. How do you beat ocean views? Well you can’t, Rivi got plenty of beautiful ocean walks and outdoor time. Gwen is attentive, and clearly cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents. Truly I am so happy after a long search and many interviews that I was fortunate enough to find Gwen. Rivi and I thank you 🐶

Maggie felt right at home with Gwen and had so much fun playing with Bert. I didn’t have to worry about anything while I was gone, and Gwen was responsive and super helpful. Highly recommend!

Gwen did a beautiful job of caring for a Mandy. She updated me with pictures regularly which I appreciated very much.

Gwen was incredible. Georgie warmed up to her right away which is rare. She sent lots of photos and updates which I loved getting. I fully trusted Gwen and will absolutely have her watch Georgie again.
