Retired Veterinary 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 succeed. 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 rescues. I can assure you of excellent care during my time with them!

I always feel completely comfortable when Gwen watches our pups and cat. I know they are in great hands!

My dogs love seeing Gwen when I’m out of town. Gwen is thoughtful and she cares for my dogs like her own. She makes leaving town stress-free and I’m always confident my dogs are in great hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not board dogs or cats at my own home due to insurance regulations. While I love that they feel comfortable in my own home when I offered this, I choose not to at this time.

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.

A typical day

I will take your furry family members on pleasant 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.
