Responsible & Fun Walker/Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! My name is Gwen. I have lived in Portsmouth for about 7 years and am an absolute animal lover! Please check out my five star reviews from over 20 different stays to ease your mind! 😊 When booking with me, you can expect regular updates and photos to reassure you that your little guy/girl is happy and safe! I have a BA in Advertising from Boston University, and I have over 20 years of personal pet care experience (dogs and cats), and am able to provide many great references if needed. As I am training for a half marathon, I can also go for runs with dogs that need to get out some extra energy! If we haven't met yet, I hope to meet you soon! Excited to help you with your pet care or house sitting needs. Thanks so much!

Gwen was so great! Lots of pictures, great communication and overall just a super sweet person. My pup can be nervous in new situations like staying somewhere other than his house without mom but Gwen was so kind and patient that it made the transition for him so much easier!

Gwen was great with our dog willow and super easy to work with. It was nice to get daily updates and know willow was having a good time while we were away. I would definitely recommend Gwen to anyone looking for a sitter in the Portsmouth area.

I left my fuzzy child in Gwen’s care for a sleepover and it was absolutely perfect. My dachshund is a little old lady with a history of spinal problems and some medications so I’m very careful who I entrust with her care and if things don’t feel right when I meet potential sitters. Gwen put me right at ease and asked questions that made me feel like I made the right decision in entrusting her with Zoey’s care. I’m we will definitely be rebooking with her when I need to take another night away! Thank you Gwen!

Gwen was everything and more!! She watched our 13-week-old puppy, Chowder, and it was clear she cared for him just as much as we would. Her regular updates with pictures and videos really put our hearts at ease for our first trip away from our boy. We not only recommend Gwen for anyone looking to have someone look after their furry loved ones but will also be undoubtedly using her services in the future.

Information Gwen H. would like to know about your pet

I like to know activity levels, lengths they usually walk or run, how they are with children, other animals (or anything else we might encounter)

A typical day

I am a very active person/outdoor person and I love to bring dogs along. If your dog is active I will take him on my jogs, If your dog is medium I will take him on my walks around the neighborhood, and if your dog is sleepy I will snuggle with him on my couch. I love animals and I am flexible to their schedules
