Safety, trust & environment

I will follow your instructions as written and ask questions as needed. You are paying for an important service, and your furry family will get quality time and care from me!

Information Gwen H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know temperament and the pets' likes; playing ball, watching birds through window or screened porch. It is important to me that your family member is comfortable with me, which will decrease their overall stress level while you're away. It is important to me to know food sensitivities and behavior triggers, if any.

A typical day

I will take your furry family members on walks in your neighborhood to help them burn their energy! Will also play and cuddle with them if that's what they're used to doing! It is truly a joy for me to spend time with all pets!

Retired Licensed Vet Technician!

Pet care experience

Hello! I would love to care for your furry babies! I am a former licensed veterinary technician of 19 years (1st career). I began my second career as a licensed school counselor 6 years ago. During my career I worked at 3 animal hospitals, including a 24 hour emergency hospital in Alexandria, VA and at one here in Fayetteville. My characteristics include a positive outlook, loving heart, high integrity, excellent communication and a high drive to provide your baby with the best care. I have vast knowledge of pet behavior and their specific medical needs. I absolutely love dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I've been a foster mom for Australian Shepherd rescue groups and have interviewed perspective families to place rescue dogs. I can assure you of excellent care during my time with your furry family members!

Gwen was a blessing to have in our home while we went on vacation. She followed our instructions on giving our Labrador medications. She kept our home clean and safe.she updated us often on the dogs with pictures . Both dogs were very happy and healthy looking when get came home. I felt very comfortable having her and will definitely be hiring her again!

Gwen is the BEST! Always checking in with updates, and pictures of the girls! One of our cats needed medicine and she was so patient with figuring out a way for her to eat it without stress. She even took in my mail while we were away. Will definitely book with her again!!
